Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery" aims to explore the cutting-edge advancements that are revolutionizing the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This collection seeks to showcase the integration of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, advanced imaging, 3D printing, patient-specific implants, genetic analysis, and their pivotal roles in shaping the future of oral and maxillofacial surgical practices.

This Special Issue will delve into the application of AI algorithms and robotic-assisted procedures in enhancing precision, efficiency, and outcomes of complex surgical interventions. Exploring the synergies between human expertise and technological capabilities will be a focus of this Special Issue. Advanced imaging techniques, coupled with 3D printing, enable personalized surgical planning and the fabrication of intricate anatomical models and guides in clinical practice. The role of patient-specific implants in restoring function and aesthetics will be examined, highlighting the clinical impact of additive manufacturing techniques in the production of implants tailored to individual patient needs.

AI-driven diagnostics for genetic analysis are shaping early detection, prognosis assessment, and treatment strategies for oral cancer, ultimately improving patient outcomes and survival rates. Genetic insights into craniofacial development, congenital anomalies, and hereditary conditions will be explored, emphasizing their implications for personalized surgical approaches and treatment modalities.

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue aims to inspire new paradigms in surgical practice, ultimately leading to improved patient care and quality of life.

Background/Objectives: The insertion of dental implants using dynamic 3D navigated surgery while applying immediate function protocols for full-arch rehabilitations warrants further research. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of All-on-4® rehabilitations using 3D Dynamic navigated surgery (X-Guide™). Methods: This study included 10 patients (women: 7; men: 3; average age: 59.9 years) rehabilitated with full-arch prostheses through the All-on-4® concept, with 48 dental implants inserted using navigated surgery. The primary outcome evaluation was prosthetic/implant cumulative survival (CS), estimated using life tables. Secondary outcome evaluations were marginal bone resorption (MBR), biological complications, and mechanical complications. The evaluation parameters were measured between 1 and 3 years. Results: No patients were lost to follow-up. Two implants (4.2%) were lost in one patient (10%) with smoking habits, resulting in an implant CS rate of 95.8%. The average MBR was 0.51 mm ± 0.62 mm at the 1-year follow-up. The incidence rate of mechanical complications was 40% (n = 4 patients), all occurring in provisional prosthesis. No biological complications were registered. The patients maintained their prostheses in function throughout the follow-up of the study. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study and based on the results, it can be concluded that the insertion of dental implants assisted by dynamic navigation for full-arch rehabilitation through the All-on-4® concept may be a valid treatment alternative in the short-term follow-up. However, more studies are necessary to validate this treatment modality. Full article

Introduction: This report investigates late-stage internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with the aim of establishing a more effective and personalized treatment protocol to improve patients’ quality of life (QoL). Material and methods: A consensus was reached among maxillofacial surgeons specializing in LSID, based on a literature research and collective expert experience following the Delphi method. Consensus was considered to be achieved when a response received at least 80% of votes. Results: Four expert groups were established, respectively, focusing on diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), open surgery and joint replacement. A comprehensive approach to late-stage ID of the TMJ requires a consensus report. This underscores the need for a personalized treatment plan, considering the variability in clinical presentations and progression of this pathology. Our recommendations aim to optimize clinical outcomes and enhance patient QoL. Full article

Background: Accidents involving the maxillofacial area are sudden and unforeseen, such as traffic accidents and physical altercations. The COVID-19 pandemic was a critical threat to the public in aspects not only involving physical health but also those affecting psychological health due to isolation, leading to a higher incidence of stress and depression among the general population and specifically in patients with OMF trauma. This study assessed the relationship between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the quantity and severity of maxillofacial injuries. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the University Clinical Centre in Gdansk from March 2019 to August 2023. Results: There was an increased risk of injury occurrence to the condylar process of the mandible, especially the left side, Le Fort type II/III fractures, injuries of the maxillary alveolar process, and displacement of the upper facial mass. Simultaneously, a decreased occurrence of certain injuries i.e., Le Fort type III fractures and Le Fort type I/II fractures, was recorded. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increased occurrence of high-energy injuries, including displacement of the upper facial mass (p = 0.010). Full article
