Abstract :
Objective: To provide a comprehensive
overview of current applications and future prospects of
artificial intelligence (AI) in oral and maxillofacial
surgery (OMFS), while critically analyzing
implementation challenges and exploring potential
advancements.
Methods
A systematic literature review was conducted using
PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase databases,
encompassing English-language articles up to December
30, 2023. Search terms combined OMFS and AI
concepts, with database-specific syntax employed.
Results
AI applications in OMFS span multiple domains,
including image analysis, surgical planning,
intraoperative guidance, and clinical decision support.
Deep learning models have demonstrated high accuracy
in detecting mandibular fractures, performing
cephalometric analyses, and classifying maxillofacial
pathologies. AI-enhanced surgical planning and robotic
systems show promise in improving precision and
outcomes across various OMFS procedures. However,
challenges persist in data quality, clinical validation, and
seamless workflow integration.
Conclusions
AI technologies have the potential to significantly
enhance diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and
treatment outcomes in OMFS. Future research
directions include developing multimodal AI systems,
advancing AI-powered surgical navigation, and
exploring federated learning approaches.
Successful implementation of AI in OMFS practice
will require collaborative efforts among clinicians,
researchers, engineers, and policymakers to address
technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges. As these
hurdles are overcome, AI is poised to become an integral
part of OMFS, augmenting surgical capabilities and
elevating patient care standards.
