Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Current Updates and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) has witnessed remarkable advancements, revolutionizing both medical and dental practices. This discipline encompasses the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the structures of the oral and maxillofacial regions, addressing both functional restoration and aesthetic enhancement.

From innovative diagnostic approaches to pioneering therapeutic methods, clinicians and researchers have improved the quality of life of patients. Moreover, the collaborative efforts between oral surgery, maxillofacial surgery and oral medicine have assumed paramount importance in optimizing patient care to solve the problems of oro-maxillary district. In this direction, research has focused on new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches in the management of oral diseases, on minimally invasive and more predictable surgical techniques for the rehabilitation of atrophic jaws, on the use of pre-surgical analytical methods based on 3D simulations, and the use of new approaches for hard and soft tissue regeneration. Consequently, the pursuit of excellence in therapeutic–diagnostic approaches demands unwavering dedication from both researchers and healthcare professionals.

In light of these remarkable developments, the focus of this new Special Issue is to continue the work carried out in the previous "Breakthroughs in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery" and encourage and stimulate contributions from qualified and esteemed colleagues across the globe. Submissions are encouraged across a diverse spectrum of research domains, including, but not limited to the following:

• Innovative therapeutic approaches in oral and maxillofacial surgery;
• Three-dimensional implementations in diagnostic and pre-surgical analysis of oro-maxillary problems;
• Innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws;
• Mini-invasiveness in oral surgery treatments;
• Advances in dental implantology;
• New insights in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer;
• Management of oral disease.

We look forward to receiving your groundbreaking research contributions, as we collectively propelling the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery toward new frontiers of excellence.
