Abstract

Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery addresses complex challenges, balancing aesthetic and functional restoration. Digital technologies, including advanced imaging, virtual surgical planning, computer-aided design, and 3D printing, have revolutionized this field. These tools improve accuracy and optimize processes across all surgical phases, from diagnosis to postoperative evaluation. CMF's unique demands are met through patient-specific solutions that optimize outcomes. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, extended reality, robotics, and bioprinting promise to overcome limitations, driving the future of personalized, technology-driven CMF care.
