Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to announce our new Special Issue, "Current Perspectives and Future Directions in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery".
The field of oral and maxillofacial surgery is constantly evolving thanks to technological advancements, basic research discoveries, and the development and validation of novel treatment strategies. Digitally assisted treatment planning and execution, three-dimensional printing, novel surgical approaches for facial nerve reanimation, and new prognostic indicators in oral cancer are just a few of the advances that have been developed, refined, and integrated into everyday clinical practice for surgeons around the world in the last two decades.
At the same time, exciting new research topics still in their infancy will likely shape the future of our specialty, from the adoption of immunotherapy in head and neck cancer to the use of machine learning algorithms for various clinical uses and the potential application of radiomics to enhance the imaging-based diagnosis and treatment planning. Researchers in the field of maxillofacial surgery subspecialties aim to enhance the level of care delivered to patients through high-quality research and to foster the application of evidence-based treatments.
To this end, we invite contributions from researchers, clinicians, and experts across the discipline of oral and maxillofacial surgery sharing their insights and experiences.
Dr. Oreste Iocca
Guest Editor
