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

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.
