Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and virtual reality are becoming a part of everyday life and are enhancing our quality of life extensively. It is only natural that the same shall be used in surgery also. The existing body of literature on artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into various surgical specialties has been extensively reviewed and discussed in this article. These insights, though derived from broader surgical domains, can be effectively translated and adapted to the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery with minimal modifications. The versatility and scalability of AI-based technologies allow their seamless application in diagnostic, operative, and postoperative settings within this specialty. Furthermore, the article elaborates on both the advantages and limitations of incorporating AI into clinical practice. The benefits include enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved surgical planning, and increased efficiency, while potential drawbacks such as ethical concerns, data privacy, and the need for clinician training are also acknowledged. In addition, this article delves into the emerging and future potential applications of AI, especially in intraoperative navigation, real-time surgical assistance, outcome prediction, and postoperative monitoring, thereby highlighting its transformative impact on the landscape of maxillofacial surgery.
