Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is an honor to be the Guest Editors of this Special Issue of Diagnostics, entitled “Advances in Dental Imaging, Oral Diagnosis, and Forensic Dentistry”.
Technological developments in recent decades have given a new impulse to dental science. The development of more sophisticated dental imaging techniques has offered more options concerning patient evaluation and treatment planning.
Advances in dental imaging, oral diagnosis, and forensic dentistry encompass various innovations and techniques aimed at improving the accuracy of diagnoses and the efficacy of treatments within dental practice and forensic investigations.
The current Special Issue aims to present the new trends in dental imaging, oral diagnosis, and forensic dentistry and highlight the emerging applications which contribute to the most effective treatment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Automated segmentation;
- Neural networks in dentistry;
- Digital intraoral scanning;
- Radiographic/surgical guides;
- Virtual reality in dental imaging;
- 3D surgical stimulation;
- 3D facial reconstruction;
