Robotic surgery had started a new era of telesurgery. The present outlook of this subtle technology has certainly captured the surgeon's inner quest to avail the least invasive methods. Given the primary results, from the patient's perspective also its adoption in near future is inevitable. Till that time we need to work diligently as a team to draw long term results to convince or silence the critics of robotic head and neck surgery. The Oral and Maxillofacial surgical procedures are complex and have potentially significant immediate postoperative morbidity and risk of mortality. It is,...

Biomaterial is any material, natural or manmade that comprises whole or a part of a living structure or a biomedical device which performs, augments or replaces device which performs a function that has been lost through disease or injury.Biomaterials play an important role in craniomaxillary surgery.The functionality and compatibility of implanted device depends on effects of physiologic environment on the properties of the implant and on the local and systemic histocompatibility of implanted biomaterial. This book discusses the different aspects on these points

Piezoelectric device or piezosurgery device was originally developed for the atraumatic cutting of bone by way of ultrasonic vibrations and as an alternative to the mechanical and electrical instruments that are used in conventional oral surgery. Over the last two decades, an increasing amount of literature has shown that piezoelectric devices are innovative tools and that there is extensive indication for their use in dental implantology and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Recent publications have also shown the benefits of their use in craniofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive...
