Foundations and Frontiers in Dentistry – An Interdisciplinary Approach

Description

The field of oral and maxillofacial surgery has undergone remarkable transformation over the past few decades, evolving from rudimentary interventions to sophisticated, technology-driven procedures that incorporate cutting-edge diagnostic tools, innovative surgical techniques, and advanced biomaterials. This evolution has been driven by a deeper understanding of facial anatomy, improved imaging modalities, the development of novel surgical approaches, and the integration of multidisciplinary care models. The maxillofacial region, comprising the complex anatomical structures of the face, jaws, and associated tissues, presents unique challenges to surgeons due to its functional, aesthetic, and psychological significance.
