Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology with the potential to revolutionize cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery and dental implantology by enhancing surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, and education. AR overlays virtual models onto real-world anatomy, allowing for more precise visualization of complex structures. This chapter explores the historical evolution of AR and its applications in healthcare, particularly in CMF surgery. Key advancements, such as AR-assisted osteotomies, surgical navigation, and hybrid AR models, are discussed. While promising results have been demonstrated in preclinical and pilot studies, AR technology remains in its early stages. Significant improvements in accuracy, usability, and real-time adaptability are needed to achieve widespread clinical adoption. AR’s integration with existing surgical workflows has the potential to enhance precision and patient outcomes, but further research is essential to unlock its full transformative potential in surgical practice.
