Dentistry, Oral Health and Maxillofacial Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, numerous innovations have had an impact on dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Treatments require a multidisciplinary approach, and greater attention must be placed on pre- and post-operative patient management; specific attention must be paid to the fragile patient; to digital procedures, such as intraoral and extraoral scanners or 3D printing, which modify the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, making treatments increasingly personalized; to the prevention of pathologies affecting the head and neck area, as well as the possibility of early diagnosis; to the impact of the work on caregivers or medical students; and most recently, to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the medical and dental field.

The Topical Collection on “Dentistry, Oral Health and Maxillofacial Surgery” invites worldwide investigators as well as clinicians to submit their most interesting overviews, reviews, and original articles that may provide novel insights regarding the topics indicated. Original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case series, and case reports are welcome if they provide new sound scientific evidence in these fields.
