Augmented reality (AR) is a promising technology to enhance image guided surgery and represents the perfect bridge to combine precise virtual planning with computer-aided execution of surgical maneuvers in the operating room. In craniofacial surgical oncology, AR brings to the surgeon’s sight a digital, three-dimensional representation of the anatomy and helps to identify tumor boundaries and optimal surgical paths. Intraoperatively, real-time AR guidance provides surgeons with accurate spatial information, ensuring accurate tumor resection and preservation of critical structures. In this paper, the authors review current evidence of AR applications in craniofacial surgery, focusing on real surgical applications, and compare existing literature with their experience during an AR and navigation guided craniofacial resection, to subsequently analyze which technological trajectories will represent the future of AR and define new perspectives of application for this revolutionizing technology.

In recent times, dentistry has seen significant technological advancements that have transformed various specialized areas within the field. Developed into applications for mobile devices, augmented reality (AR) seamlessly merges digital components with the physical world, enhancing both realms while maintaining their individual separateness. On the other hand, virtual reality (VR) relies on advanced, tailored software to visualize a digital 3D environment stimulating the operator’s senses through computer generated sensations and feedback. The current advances use the application of VR, haptic simulators, the use of an AI algorithm and many more that provides new opportunities for smart learning and enhance the teaching environment. As this technology continues to evolve, it is poised to become even more remarkable, enabling specialists to potentially visualize both soft and hard tissues within the patient's body for effective treatment planning. This literature aims to present the newest advancements and ongoing development of AR and VR in dentistry and medicine. It highlights their diverse applications while identifying areas needing further research for effective integration into clinical practice.

In orthopedic surgery and maxillofacial there is a growing use of augmented reality (AR) as a technology to increase the visual perception of the surgeon in the operating room. The objective of this review is to analyze the state of the art in the use of AR for osteotomies, highlighting the advantages and the most-known open issues to be addressed in the future research. Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed and IEEE Xplore databases have been explored with a keyword search, setting the time limits from January 2017 to January 2023, inclusive. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines has been used in this review, focusing on anatomical districts, real-virtual environment interaction, advantaged and limitations of existing AR-based applications. 49 articles met the inclusion criteria and have been selected in the final analysis. For the sake of clarity, works have been grouped according to the anatomical district, but also the real-virtual environment interaction methodology was reported, as well as information regarding accuracy assessment. A Quality Function Deployment (QFD) has been used to assess the AR-based solutions with regards to the more traditional freehand (FH) and Patient Specific Template (PST) approaches. Finally, some suggestions to foster the AR-based solution adoption in osteotomies treatment have been drawn, considering the highlighted advantages and limitations of this technology. The AR resulted to meet the surgeons’ needs more than other traditional approaches. Among the emerged advantages, AR can lead to a better surgical field accessibility, more flexible solutions and lower the management effort. Nonetheless, future research should address some well-known issues, among which the calibration time, the robustness of the tracking, and the HMDs discomfort.
