Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral surgery and maxillofacial surgery are performed daily on patients of all ages. Often, these patients undergo complex, polypharmacy pharmacological therapy, and in some situations, their systemic conditions tend to increase their surgical risk. In fact, surgery must always take into account patients’ accurate medical history and, precisely on this basis, plan each patient’s surgery or prophylaxis, evaluating the risk and post-surgical quality of life. The purpose of this Special Issue is to create a collection on local and systemic contraindications to surgery in the oro-maxillofacial district, focusing on physiological contraindications (for example pregnancy), pharmacological contraindications, and iatrogenic, systemic, genetic, and other pathologies. Moreover, this Special Issue would like to bring to light all the post-operative implications this type of surgery can have at the systemic level and illustrate cases in which oral health affects patients’ quality of life.
