Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Craniomaxillofacial surgery stands at the crossroads of science, art, and innovation, addressing complex conditions that impact not only function and aesthetics, but also quality of life. Over recent decades, remarkable progress has been made in the diagnosis, surgical management, and rehabilitation of complex craniofacial conditions, driven by innovations in technology, materials science, and collaborative approaches across medical specialties.
Technological advancements such as virtual surgical planning, 3D printing, and navigation systems have revolutionised preoperative strategies and postoperative outcomes. Equally significant is the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and patient-centred care, especially in addressing the psychosocial aspects of facial deformities and rehabilitation.
We hope that this Special Issue will serve not only as a reflection of current practice, but also as a catalyst for continued inquiry, innovation, and collaboration in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery.
We invite colleagues around the world to contribute their clinical experience and/or their research in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery to this collection of our journal, in order to support the work of oral and maxillofacial clinicians worldwide.
