Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a dynamic specialty that involves an interdisciplinary approach involving multiple specialists, bringing together dentistry, general medicine, and the continuous evolution of modern technology.
This Special Issue will highlight advancements in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial pathologies, surgery planning and outcomes, and future perspectives on the prognosis and monitorization of patients through the integration of personalized approaches.
We encourage the submission of original research and review articles focusing on new diagnostic approaches, the use of biomarkers in the management of oral and maxillofacial pathologies, loco-regional and general anesthesia protocols, the integration of regenerative oral medicine and the implementation of guided implant surgery protocols, and the use of AI technology.
