Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New technologies, such as digital devices, are available to enhance the effectiveness of the diagnostic process and increase the spectrum of detectable pathologies, dimorphisms, and dysfunctions in the orofacial region, as well as to the new clinical approach to comprehensive Craniofacial and Temporomandibular disorders.
Recently, the extension of methods, such as EMG, CBCT, MRI, to the dental field, is receiving a lot of interest in the medical field. Telemedicine (teledentistry in the field of oral pathology) is a rapidly evolving healthcare delivery mechanism via hardware and/or software through which consultation, medical assistance, and information can be communicated over the computer networks. We are all called upon to keep up with the developments that are occurring simultaneously in dentistry. Digital dentistry provides quantifiable benefits in terms of quality, time savings, and labor cost reductions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the available evidence-based data of innovative advances and knowledge in oral and craniofacial diagnosis, as well as to provide a new approach on management of temporomandibular disorders through upcoming diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
