Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The clash between experience and modernity is a particularly delicate issue in medicine. Effective and safe treatments always encompass a balance between the old and the new. The choice between that which has been repeatedly confirmed and what is potentially better, although burdened with a higher risk, affects the course of diagnostic and therapeutic processes. Additional factors in the degree of the difficulty of procedures, the availability of medical equipment, and the cost-effectiveness further complicate the choices that, in theory, should be dictated solely by medical considerations. I consider these topics worth covering in this Special Issue, which I invite you to cocreate, with the aim of presenting the best proven practices, innovative clinical management, and prospects for the development of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
best proven vs. the latest diagnostic methods; advances in craniofacial traumatology; predictable orthognathics in the context of digitization; innovations in the treatment of temporomandibular joints; apparent stagnation in inflammation therapy; constant and developing aspects of oncology; novelties vs. traditional methods in reconstructive surgery; dental implantology: the evidence-based race of innovation; postsurgical maxillofacial prosthetics; importance and new possibilities of postoperative observation; failures necessary to share to avoid their occurrence.
