[Featured Article] Perception of frontal facial images compared with their mirror images: chirality, enantiomorphic discrimination, and relevance to clinical practice.

mirroimageWhat we think we see consists of models constructed in our brains, which may be constrained, limited and perhaps modified at a cerebral level. Patients may view their mirror image differently to how others and the clinical team view them. Understanding potential variations in perception between real and mirror images is important in clinical practice. The aims were to assess differences in self-perception between frontal facial and mirrored photographs, comparing the results with selfie photographs.

[Featured Article] Skeletal structure of asymmetric mandibular prognathism and retrognathism

skeletalThis study is aimed to compare the skeletal structures between mandibular prognathism and retrognathism among patients with facial asymmetry. Patients who had mandibular asymmetry with retrognathism (Group A) in The Netherlands were compared with those withske deviated mandibular prognathism (Group B) in Korea.

Call for Papers - Computer-Assisted Imaging and Osteotomy Techniques on Orthognathic Surgery

Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is calling for submissions to our Collection on Computer-Assisted Imaging and Osteotomy Techniques on Orthognathic Surgery. Guest edited by Young-Wook Park, Jwa Young Kim.

The aim of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, applications, and innovations in computer-assisted imaging and osteotomy techniques in the field of orthognathic surgery. The focus will be on exploring the role of technology in improving surgical outcomes, reducing complications, enhancing patient satisfaction, and streamlining surgical workflows. This special issue aims to gather a collection of original research articles, reviews, case studies, and perspectives from experts in the field.

COVID-19 and impact on peer review

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Aims and scope

Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes clinical and basic research on the epidemiology, etiology, treatment, and prevention of congenital and acquired anomalies/defects involving the oral and maxillofacial regions. The journal focuses on investigating the causative factors of oral and maxillofacial anomalies/defects and the development of surgical methods and materials for morphological reconstruction or functional restoration. Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the official journal of the Korean Association of Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. 

 

The journal welcomes high quality original articles, case/technical reports, collective or current reviews, editorials, and brief communications and covers the following main subjects:

• Congenital deformity of maxillofacial area
• Dental and maxillofacial reconstruction
• Tissue engineering related to maxillofacial reconstruction
• Cosmetic surgery and related material research of maxillofacial area
• Orthognathic surgery-related research
• Temporomandibular joint reconstruction
• Anatomic research of maxillofacial area
