“…Positron Emis sion Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is used diagnosis for many types of cancers and detecting lymph node metastases The main clinical application of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in head and neck oncology is the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. 36,37 Over the years, we have witnessed simple modifications to procedural steps setting forth paradigm shifts in the field; we have also seen innovations in other disciplines being borrowed and adapted to aid our cause.…”

This special edition, titled “Major Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery And The Developments Trends”, aims to present the main achievements in this field. The use of new scientific and technological achievements has revolutionized the field of maxillofacial surgery, and current trends are aimed at improving evidence-based diagnostic and surgical methods, as well as the quality of patient care. The progress of reconstructive surgery in PCLH was largely facilitated by the improvement of the work of the anesthesiology and resuscitation service, transplantation of tissue grafts and vascularized flaps (both pedunculated and free), new bone substitutes, platelet-rich plasma, tissue genetic engineering, directed tissue osteogenesis, distraction osteogenesis, microsurgery, laser surgery, arthroscopic and endoscopic surgery, radioisotope diagnostics, electron microscopy, endoprosthesis, 3D computer modeling and the use of 3D printers. Modern computer technologies are widely implemented in the field of PCL surgery using visualization methods and the use of navigation, threedimensional images, stereolithographic models, non-standard implants such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), surgical navigation. and robotic surgery. The use of guided surgery allows the procedure to be performed faster, safer and more accurately, reducing surgical risks and time. Since the advent of endoscopic surgery, it has been successfully used in the treatment and diagnosis of lesions of the maxillary sinus. Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy is now routinely performed and is a more effective and minimally invasive treatment for TMJ disease. The use of new technologies has also played an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of oncological diseases of the maxillofacial region. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is used to diagnose many types of cancer in the area of the PCL and to detect metastases in the lymph nodes. Maxillofacial surgery techniques are constantly evolving and improving, and we hope that our publication will keep pace with these changes.

“…This can result in false uptake of the radiotracer and false positive results. It cannot be used in cases of uncontrolled diabetes where the blood sugar levels are higher than 150mg/dl 22,23 . Bone imaging with radionuclides is a non-invasive technique for demonstrating the osteoblastic lesion of the skeletal system.…”

The management of oral cancer is a multidisciplinary endeavour, as each patient presents the treating clinicians with a unique set of challenges the management of which impacts on both survival and quality of life. This article focuses on the different radiographic methods used in the diagnosis of oral cancer. Imaging techniques have become an important element in the field of oral oncology. Continued research has led to technical progress in the existing modalities and addition of newer, exiting and highly accurate techniques. Although this is a boon, it has created differences of opinion regarding the ideal choice of imaging techniques. Inappropriate choice of imaging modality can result in delay in diagnosis and treatment thereby inducing more suffering for the patients.

“…After the time necessary for the preparation's redistribution to tissues, positron emission tomography is performed to depict the locations of increased accumulation of the marker [4]. Revealed foci may suggest the presence of a tumour which is developing fast and is metastatic [1,5]. Combining the test with classic images of digital computed tomography allows for precise anatomical localization of a suspected focus [6][7][8].…”
