This chapter provides an overview of how integrating the latest technology and digitization is progressively revolutionizing the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) in patient management and optimizing surgical outcomes. Therefore, digital technology has become an integral part of improving OMFS’s specialty training program. Technological innovations, including 3D imaging, computer-aided simulation, patient-specific implants, robotics, and other digital aspects, are discussed in education, research, surgical training, and treatment modalities linked to OMFS using recent clinical applications and potential training methods. The chapter emphasizes the need for reformation and adaptation of the OMFS specialty training to the emerging digital era, not only for the optimization of resources but also for providing practical insights into the needs of the organization or institution who are aiming to improve its program while delivering the best possible care to patients.

摘要

This chapter provides an overview of how integrating the latest technology and digitization is progressively revolutionizing the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) in patient management and optimizing surgical outcomes. Therefore, digital technology has become an integral part of improving OMFS’s specialty training program. Technological innovations, including 3D imaging, computer-aided simulation, patient-specific implants, robotics, and other digital aspects, are discussed in education, research, surgical training, and treatment modalities linked to OMFS using recent clinical applications and potential training methods. The chapter emphasizes the need for reformation and adaptation of the OMFS specialty training to the emerging digital era, not only for the optimization of resources but also for providing practical insights into the needs of the organization or institution who are aiming to improve its program while delivering the best possible care to patients.
