Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), offering a multitude of benefits for both surgeons and patients.
This abstract highlights the key areas of impact:

• Revolutionized Diagnostics: AI algorithms excel at analyzing complex medical images like X-rays, CT scans, and facial photographs. This allows for improved tumor detection and characterization, precise preoperative planning for jaw reconstruction, and more accurate cephalometric analysis in orthognathic surgery [1,2].
• Enhanced Surgical Precision: AI-powered surgical navigation systems can offer real-time guidance during surgery, ensuring greater accuracy in implant placement and minimizing risks associated with complex procedures [3].
• Personalized Treatment Planning: AI can analyze vast datasets of patient information and surgical outcomes. This enables surgeons to create personalized treatment plans, predict potential complications, and optimize surgical strategies for each individual patient [4].
• Improved Patient Outcomes: The synergy of AI-driven diagnostics, treatment planning, and surgical navigation contributes to significantly improved patient outcomes. This translates to faster recovery times, reduced surgical risks, and better long-term results.

While challenges like data privacy and ethical considerations need to be addressed, AI holds immense potential to revolutionize OMFS, ushering in a new era of precision, personalization, and improved patient care.
