Clinical Progress in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Oral and maxillofacial surgery has witnessed significant clinical advancements, merging technological innovation with refined therapeutic strategies to address a spectrum of conditions involving the oral cavity, jaws, face, and associated structures. Recent progress includes the integration of 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise preoperative planning, the adoption of minimally invasive techniques to reduce patient morbidity, and breakthroughs in regenerative therapies for bone and soft tissue repair.

Additionally, improved perioperative protocols and personalized treatment approaches have optimized outcomes in complex cases, including trauma, oncological resections, and congenital deformities. These developments collectively elevate surgical efficiency, patient safety, and post-operative quality of life, underscoring the field’s evolution as a critical component of interdisciplinary healthcare.

This Special Issue seeks innovative, clinically impactful research in oral and maxillofacial surgery, covering the latest advances in diagnosis, technical innovation, and mechanistic exploration. Topics include precision repair of complex maxillofacial trauma, digital technology breakthroughs in implantology, jaw tumors, and optimized therapies for congenital deformities.

We are looking forward to your contributions for this special issue.
