ABSTRACT

The vision for the future with advanced technology and science for easy and better treatments outcome motivating the clinicians to look-forward to practical the cutting edge tactics in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The results will be providing the patients with first-class medical services with reduction of the treatment morbidity. Greater progress has been made in the field of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In the last decades, the researchers were concentered on the improvement of the preoperative planning as it plays a vital role in the success rate of the surgical procedures.
