Abstract

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving from a dental subspecialty into a multidisciplinary, digitally empowered surgical field. This article explores the technological, biological, and educational frontiers redefining OMFS—from virtual surgical planning, CAD/CAM, and AI-assisted diagnostics to regenerative therapies like PRF/PRP and osseodensification. It highlights the rise of precision medicine, patient-specific care, and pharmacogenomics in surgical decision-making. The paper also advocates for curriculum reform in India, emphasizing simulation-based training and interdisciplinary exposure. As OMFS expands into subspecialties and digital practice models, ethical considerations and access disparities must be addressed. Ultimately, the specialty is poised to lead innovations in facial surgery, regenerative care, and collaborative healthcare delivery.
