When ridge resorption occurs, adequate bone augmentation is essential to obtain satisfactory esthetic results. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase and retention rate of bone height or width in patients who received extensive bone augmentation and to analyze factors affecting its prognosis and stability.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study was performed on patients who received extensive bone augmentation by sausage technique at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Ewha Womans University Mok-dong Hospital from January 1, 2018, to February 28, 2022. CBCT images were taken before and 6 months after surgery to compare the amount of increase in bone height or width at the graft site.

Four patients received horizontal augmentation, and 4 received vertical augmentation. When divided by surgical site, 4 patients are in maxilla and 4 in mandible. The average amount of increase in bone width or bone height was 5.38 mm, and the retention rate was about 79.9% after 6 months. The retention rate of horizontal augmentation was 88.8%, which was higher than that of vertical augmentation, which was 74.5%. The maxillary area accounted for 92.2%, and the amount of bone resorption was lower than that of the mandibular area, which was 72.6%.

The rapid development of AI in the health sector has been attributed to the improvement of computing speed, exponential increase in data production, and routine data collection. In this paper, we review the current applications of AI for oral and maxillofacial (OMF) cosmetic surgery to provide surgeons with the fundamental technical elements needed to understand its potential. AI plays an increasingly important role in OMF cosmetic surgery in various settings, and its usage may raise ethical issues. In addition to machine learning algorithms (a subtype of AI), convolutional neural networks (a subtype of deep learning) are widely used in OMF cosmetic surgeries. Depending on their complexity, these networks can extract and process the elementary characteristics of an image. They are, therefore, commonly used in the diagnostic process for medical images and facial photos. AI algorithms have been used to assist surgeons with diagnosis, therapeutic decisions, preoperative planning, and outcome prediction and evaluation. AI algorithms complement human skills while minimizing shortcomings through their capabilities to learn, classify, predict, and detect. This algorithm should, however, be rigorously evaluated clinically, and a systematic ethical reflection should be conducted regarding data protection, diversity, and transparency. It is possible to revolutionize the practice of functional and aesthetic surgeries with 3D simulation models and AI models. Planning, decision-making, and evaluation during and after surgery can be improved with simulation systems.
