Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied in multiple subspecialties in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgeries. This article overviews AI fundamentals focusing on classification, object detection, and segmentation-core tasks used in CMF applications. The article then explores the development and integration of AI in dentoalveolar surgery, implantology, traumatology, oncology, craniofacial surgery, and orthognathic and feminization surgery. It highlights AI-driven advancements in diagnosis, pre-operative planning, intra-operative assistance, post-operative management, and outcome prediction. Finally, the challenges in AI adoption are discussed, including data limitations, algorithm validation, and clinical integration.
