Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Clinical Advances and Future Directions’, highlights the latest developments, innovative techniques, and emerging trends shaping the field. It brings together cutting-edge research and clinical insights addressing the full spectrum of oral and maxillofacial surgery, from trauma management and reconstructive procedures to implantology, oncologic surgery, and digital innovations such as 3D printing and artificial intelligence.
Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate surgical expertise with biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, and precision diagnostics. The Issue also explores challenges in postoperative care, complication management, and patient-centered outcomes. By showcasing both established and experimental methodologies, this collection aims to advance clinical practice and inspire future research directions. It serves as a comprehensive resource for surgeons, clinicians, and researchers committed to improving patient outcomes and shaping the next generation of oral and maxillofacial surgical care.
