Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: From Disease Diagnosis and Treatment to Functional and Esthetic Reconstruction
This special issue belongs to the section "Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral and maxillofacial disorders—ranging from congenital deformities, traumatic injuries, and tumor resections to degenerative conditions—pose significant challenges to patients’ quality of life, chewing function, speech ability, and facial esthetics. This Special Issue focused on clinical innovations that enhance the treatment efficacy of oral and maxillofacial diseases, with a core emphasis on restoring form, physiological function, and quality of life.
We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, and meta-analyses focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics: applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and other innovative oral and maxillofacial treatments.
