Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forensic dentistry cannot be neglected in the context of the relevant disciplines in close affinity with the clinical activity of dentists. Knowledge about forensic dentistry is fundamental in the ethics and professional training of the young dentist and welcomes research fields of great importance and relevance.
For this Special Issue, we welcome papers concerning the field of dental professional liability (malpractice) in its various clinical aspects (prosthetics, implantology, orthodontics, etc.), deontological aspects (information and consent) including the increasingly topical issue of telemedicine (such as remote control of the patient) and not least original contributions concerning the traditional field of post-traumatic damage evaluation of the oro-cephalic district. In addition, particular attention will be paid to the contributions regarding the assessment of biological age in minors or presumed such (as in the case of undocumented immigrants or adopted children), and personal recognition techniques in life and postmortem.
I am sure that many dentists and legal doctors will be interested in contributing with studies, reviews, and case reports to update this specialist sector with a view to an increasingly necessary common training course.
