Oral surgery and implantology have seen remarkable advancements over the past decades, driven by technological innovation and a growing understanding of tissue biology. Implantology has evolved from traditional methods to modern techniques that incorporate digital planning, guided surgery, and biomaterials designed to enhance osseointegration. The growing need to manage severe bone atrophy in implantology has spurred the development of regenerative oral surgery techniques, which are increasingly tailored to individual patients and minimally invasive, leading to better long-term outcomes. The use of 3D printing, computer-aided design (CAD), and regenerative medicine has significantly improved patient outcomes, reducing recovery time and increasing implant success rates. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in diagnostics and treatment planning is shaping the future of oral surgery, allowing for more predictable and personalized treatment strategies.

Despite these advancements, several challenges persist in refining oral surgery techniques, ensuring long-term implant stability, reducing surgical complications, and developing more personalized treatment solutions. This research topic aims to address current challenges by exploring new biomaterials, innovative surgical approaches, and digital technologies that enhance precision and predictability of oral surgery and implantology treatments. Recent advances such as autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) in tissue healing, nanotechnology-enhanced implant surfaces, and minimally invasive techniques have shown promise in optimizing patient care. By analyzing the effectiveness of these advancements, researchers can identify best practices and novel methods to further improve implant success and oral surgical procedures. This topic also seeks to evaluate the impact of digital workflows, AI-based predictive models, and robotic-assisted surgeries in clinical practice.
