Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, orthognathic surgery involves a spectrum of surgical procedures on the maxilla and mandible to improve both form and function.
Orthognathic surgery may be undertaken to improve how the teeth fit together, to normalize or optimize facial proportions, and/or to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
Orthognathic surgery requires a multidisciplinary-team approach that includes an orthodontist, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and allied health professionals.
Given the complexity of this topic and its impact on clinical practice and public health, Medicina is launching a Special Issue entitled “Challenges and Features Facing Contemporary Orthognathic Surgery”, with the aim of collecting together accurate and up-to-date scientific information on all aspects of contemporary orthognathic surgery. We are pleased to invite you and your co-workers to submit original manuscripts that report on all of the new possibilities in orthognathic surgery. We would also like to invite you to submit review articles aimed at contemporary materials and techniques.
