Introduction  \nIn recent decades, oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) has experienced a remarkable evolution, driven by the rapid development of new technologies, refined surgical techniques, and the integration of patient-specific clinical and radiological data. Advancesin imaging, digital planning, biomaterials, and minimally invasive procedures have profoundly reshaped traditional surgical approaches, improving both precision and patient outcomes. The availability of three-dimensional imaging, virtual surgical planning, and patient-specific prosthetic solutions has enabled more personalized treatments, reshaping both routine clinical care and complex reconstructive procedures [1–3] .  \n2. Discussion  \nOne of the most evident drivers of change is the deep integration of advanced imaging and digital workflows into daily practice. Three-dimensional diagnostics and virtual surgical planning are no longer confined to highly specialized centers but have become essential tools across orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, implantology, and reconstruction. Digital outcome assessment in dentofacial deformities exemplifies how digital planning directly enhances precision and predictability [4] . The connection between clinical scenariosand imaging investigations strengthens this paradigm, including the analysis of osseous landmarks relevant to inferior alveolar nerve block procedures, which highlights critical anatomical variability with immediate implications for anesthetic safety [5] . This concept is further explained in a CBCT–histopathologic correlation study that shows a rare large-scale epidemiological snapshot of oral and maxillofacial lesions, reinforcing the diagnostic value of three-dimensional imaging in real-world clinical settings [6] .  \nBeyond conventional imaging, innovative approaches based on artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly gaining traction in oral and maxillofacial imaging. A systematic review of AI-driven tooth segmentation in CBCT imaging emphasizes a crucial synthesis of algorithms, performance measures, and clinical applicability, demonstrating the rapid integration of automated diagnosis into everyday practice [7] . Together, these studies show how diagnostic practice is gradually moving from manual interpretation toward data-driven and partially automated decision-making.  \nParallel to digital innovation, regenerative medicine and biologically oriented therapies continue to consolidate their role in OMFS. The growing clinical application of autologous platelet concentrates and bioactive biomaterials reflects a broader transition toward biologically assisted healing. This concept is supported by strong evidence on the regenerative potential of platelet-rich fibrin and related derivatives [8] . At the same time, the continuous refinement of dental implant surface and biomechanical optimization—as demonstrated by recent in vitro and clinical studies on implant stability—confirms  \nhow dental materials and biology are linked to gain more predictable results in implant rehabilitation [9–11] .  \nFurthermore, innovation is not limited to digital technology and biomaterials, but also involves the development of new clinical protocols to manage the most complex conditions in OMFS. Of particular relevance is the report on the surgical management of oro-nasal communication in cocaine-induced midfacial destruction, trea","cbCaigXRBaXf0ONy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigXRBaXf0ONy","pdf",152875,"English","# Introduction\n# Discussion\n## Imaging and digital workflows\n## AI-driven imaging and decision support\n## Regenerative and biologically oriented therapies\n## New clinical protocols and reconstruction\n## Oncology and trauma perspectives\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"How have imaging and digital workflows changed OMFS practice?\",\"answer\":\"Advances in 3D diagnostics, virtual surgical planning, and digital outcome assessment have made precision and predictability more attainable across orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, implantology, and reconstruction.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does AI play in OMFS imaging and diagnostics?\",\"answer\":\"AI-driven approaches, highlighted through CBCT-related evidence such as tooth segmentation reviews, support synthesis of algorithms and performance measures and facilitate faster integration of automated, decision-support capabilities in routine practice.\"},{\"question\":\"Which regenerative and biomaterial strategies are emphasized in the article?\",\"answer\":\"The article focuses on biologically assisted healing using autologous platelet concentrates and bioactive biomaterials, supported by evidence on platelet-rich fibrin, and on implant surface refinement and biomechanical optimization for more predictable rehabilitation outcomes.\"}]","Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Current Updates and Perspectives | PDF"]
