Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The intricacies of disorders of the oral cavity, head, and neck present clinicians with significant challenges, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to achieve accurate diagnosis and effective therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to explore the spectrum of complex cases encountered in these anatomical regions, encompassing diverse etiologies, diagnostic dilemmas, and therapeutic interventions. By delving into nuanced clinical scenarios, this collection seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities that are inherent to managing conditions ranging from oral cancers and maxillofacial trauma to rare pathologies and treatment-resistant diseases. Through case presentations, innovative diagnostic techniques, therapeutic modalities, and outcome assessments, this Special Issue endeavors to advance our knowledge and enhance clinical practice regarding disorders of the oral cavity, head, neck. Contributions from clinicians, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals are invited, in order to enrich this exploration and contribute to our collective effort to address the formidable challenges posed by these interlinked clinical scenarios. For this Special Issue, we would particularly like to publish research articles and comprehensive reviews.
