A scoping review of journals related to OMS focused on OMS-related applications.

Ninety articles were analyzed and classified into the following subcategories: pathology, orthognathic surgery, facial trauma, temporomandibular joint disorders, dentoalveolar surgery, dental implants, craniofacial deformities, reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery, and complications. There was a significant increase in AI-related studies published after 2019, 95.6% of the total reviewed. This surge in research reflects growing interest in AI and its potential in OMS. Among the studies, the primary uses of AI in OMS were in pathology (e.g., lesion detection, lymph node metastasis detection) and orthognathic surgery (e.g., surgical planning through facial bone segmentation).

A systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines with the primary goal of quantifying the functional outcomes and overall survival of patients undergoing TGL. The initial search resulted in 748 studies; seven of these met the inclusion criteria. Five studies evaluated functional speech postoperatively, and 12.1% (8/66) of patients in these studies achieved a form of functional speech. Most studies did not refer to the use of specific postoperative voice rehabilitation. Regarding swallowing function, 53.3% (32/60) of patients in five studies regained their ability to swallow. In six studies reporting gastrostomy tube dependence, 37.7% (29/77) of patients were tube-dependent. Recurrence within 1-year was reported in three studies; 52% (26/50) of the patients had recurrence within 1 year, and the 1-year disease-free survival rate was 48%. TGL is a highly invasive surgery; postoperatively, most patients do not regain the ability to speak, while only half are able to swallow. Despite these extreme efforts and sacrifices by the patient, approximately half of patients have a recurrence within the first year.

After placement of the implant, the implant stability quotient (ISQ) was measured. A titanium customized healing abutment was inserted, and further ISQ values were obtained during 24 weeks of follow-up.
