Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue delves into the most recent advancements in methodologies, drug development, and device innovations specifically designed for oral and maxillofacial surgery. It compiles cutting-edge research and reviews that showcase breakthroughs in personalized surgical techniques and treatments. The focus is on innovative surgical methods that utilize advanced imaging technologies and 3D printing to create precise, custom-fit solutions for individual patients. Additionally, it highlights new pharmaceutical developments that aim to improve patient outcomes, such as targeted drug delivery systems and novel therapeutics that enhance post-surgical healing and reduce complications. The issue also examines state-of-the-art devices and tools that are transforming surgical practices, with an emphasis on custom implants, robotics, and minimally invasive technologies. Case studies and clinical trials are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of personalized treatment plans, which integrate patient-specific data to tailor surgical approaches and post-operative care. Furthermore, the Special Issue underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, showcasing how the integration of bioengineering, material science, and regenerative medicine can lead to improved surgical outcomes. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and industry professionals, providing the latest knowledge and tools to enhance patient-specific surgical care.

Background: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, benefits, and limitations of piezosurgery in tooth extractions compared to conventional methods. Piezosurgery has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, promoting better preservation of soft tissues and bone structures. Understanding its impact on postoperative outcomes such as pain, swelling, trismus, and bone healing is critical for its application in oral surgery; Materials and Methods: We restricted our search to English-language articles published between 1 January 2004 and 28 August 2024, in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The Boolean search keywords “piezosurgery AND tooth extraction” were used. Results: A total of 983 articles were identified, and after duplicates were removed, 766 studies were screened. Following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven articles were selected for qualitative analysis. Conclusions: The literature suggests that piezosurgery offers advantages, such as reduced postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus, despite longer surgical times compared to conventional methods. While piezosurgery shows promise for improved patient comfort and soft tissue preservation, further research is required to validate its long-term impact on bone healing and regeneration.
