Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dentofacial dysmorphosis exhibits various aspects such as prognathism, retrognathism, maxillary hypoplasia, and asymmetry. For their treatment, several techniques of orthognathic surgery or orthodontics are applied. Meanwhile, the stomatognathic system is composed of static and dynamic structures, and its harmonious functioning is based on the balanced relationship between them. In addition, hard and soft cephalic structures arise, grow, and organize in a mutual balance. Cranio-facial skeletons constantly reflect these influences and their related functional conditions. Therefore, the genesis of a malocclusion is usually linked to an impairment of some kind to eugnathic growth that involves to various extents the mandible, the maxilla, and the functional matrix (tongue and facial muscles).
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract world-leading researchers in the area of dentofacial dysmorphosis in an effort to highlight the latest exciting developments, discuss the underlying etiology of various aspects in dentofacial dysmorphosis, and apply the appropriate treatment regimen.
