The concept of orofacial dysfunctions and pain encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions that affect the mouth, jaw, and face. These disorders can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, often presenting multifaceted challenges in terms of diagnosis and management. This Special Issue on “Advances in Orofacial Dysfunctions and Pain” aims to bring together the latest research, innovations, and insights in this field, shedding light on emerging diagnostic tools, novel interdisciplinary treatment modalities, and a bringing about a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
We invite investigators, scholars, and practitioners to submit their original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses for consideration. Let us endeavor together to expand our understanding of orofacial dysfunctions and pain, fostering innovation and progress in this crucial area of healthcare.
