Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maxillo-facial surgery is a fascinating surgical branch that often faces challenging clinical scenarios. A modern approach to the oro-maxillofacial area, a complex region, requires a deep knowledge of anatomy, refined surgical skills and the handling of modern tools offered by technology. The skillful mix of these resources allows the modern surgeon to aspire to achieve better results. Today, we can combine volume and form with function and aesthetics with the aim of improving the patient’s quality of life.
In fact, the expectations of today’s patients have shifted from a mere replacement of the lost tissue to the desire to restore vital functions, facial appearance and psychological wellness as best as possible.
This new wave of holistic approach to the global health of patients should be applied in all the fields of our surgical discipline, from post-oncological reconstruction and orthognatic surgery, treatment of severe atrophies, facial paralysis reanimation and even to ethic aesthetic surgery.
The aim of this Special Issue is to emphasize all these improvements through the publication of papers from authors that support all these previous statements with solid scientific evidence. Basic research papers, clinical papers and reviews are all highly encouraged for submission when focused on new advances in oral and facial surgery.
Dr. Olindo Massarelli
