Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of oral and maxillofacial surgery is continuously evolving, driven by technological innovation, improved diagnostic protocols, and multidisciplinary treatment strategies. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent clinical advances and evidence-based practices in oral and maxillofacial surgery, encompassing areas such as surgical management of oral pathologies, craniofacial trauma, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive techniques, and minimally invasive approaches. Topics will also include integration of digital technologies, 3D printing, and virtual surgical planning, as well as postoperative management and complications. Contributions are welcome from clinical studies and reviews that provide new insights to improve patient care, functional outcomes, and quality of life.
