Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Computer-Aided Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Developments,
Applications, and Future Perspectives is an ideal resource for
biomedical engineers and computer scientists, clinicians and
clinical researchers looking for an understanding on the latest
technologies applied to oral and maxillofacial surgery. In facial
surgery, computer-aided decisions supplement all kind of treatment
stages, from a diagnosis to follow-up examinations. This book gives
an in-depth overview of state-of-the-art technologies, such as deep
learning, augmented reality, virtual reality and intraoperative
navigation, as applied to oral and maxillofacial surgery. It covers
applications of facial surgery that are at the interface between
medicine and computer science. Examples include the automatic
segmentation and registration of anatomical and pathological
structures, like tumors in the facial area, intraoperative
navigation in facial surgery and its recent developments and
challenges for treatments like zygomatic implant placement.
