Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few years, new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in dentistry have been developed, calling researchers and clinicians to keep up with all of the developments that are occurring in this field. New technologies, as well as digital devices, are available to enhance the effectiveness of the diagnostic process and increase the spectrum of treatments available. Moreover, new tools such as intraoral scanners, digital models, cone beam computerized tomography, digital smile design (DSD), facial scanning, photogrammetry, and artificial intelligence (AI) have gradually spread, improving prosthesis and oral rehabilitation. Furthermore, patients are becoming more careful in terms of treatment time and aesthetics, so techniques such as digital smile design (DSD), veneers, and implant rehabilitation are being used more frequently. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide evidence-based data on innovative advances and knowledge in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in the orofacial field. Studies that take innovative approaches or provide original information are of higher priority. Papers discussing prosthesis and dental materials, temporomandibular disorders, and rehabilitation procedures to manage craniofacial defects and malformations are encouraged, as well as those addressing digital technologies, and digital and telemedicine applications. In this regard, we are delighted to invite investigators to submit original research articles (trials, cohort studies, case–control and cross-sectional studies), high-quality case reports, communications, and reviews (narrative or systematic reviews and meta-analyses) in accordance with the fields previously indicated.
Dr. Giuseppe Minervini
Guest Editor
