Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the latest developments in the digitalization of healthcare, the future of medicine is becoming increasingly clear. Developing new technologies has improved the management of pediatric and adult patients, hospital practices, and the targeting of state-of-the-art medical devices. Keeping up with technological progress is necessary to ensure that human beings control technology, not vice versa. The technological revolution in healthcare could transform obsolete practices into more modern techniques and provide cheaper, faster, and more effective solutions against diseases. Numerous new devices are released and promoted worldwide each year, but little is known about their performance and clinical effects. This Special Issue aims to focus on recent advances in medical devices from the following wide range of perspectives:
- Artificial intelligence;
- Health trackers, sensors, and wearables;
- Three-dimensional printers;
- Virtual and augmented reality;
- Nanotechnologies;
- Robotics;
- DNA sequencing.
Through original contributions and review articles, this Special Issue aims to provide evidence of the continuous technological advances made in diagnostic methods for the pathology of maxillofacial surgery, which will offer a unique opportunity in future clinical care.
This Special Issue’s purpose from Diagnostics is to collect the most original articles and review articles on recent technological advances in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In particular, we encourage young specialists (maxillofacial surgeons, ENT, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists) to submit interdisciplinary work and multi-country collaborative research, as well as narrative and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
