Abstract

Historically, the emergence of new technologies has had a major impact on industries as a whole. The field of orthodontic surgery was no different, especially with the advent of computers in the 20th century, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists were able to make more accurate and precise diagnoses, resulting in improved results of double jaw surgery. In this manuscript, I will introduce some studies on how robots and artificial intelligence, which are said to be two new technologies in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, are being applied to the field of orthognathic surgery.
