ABSTRACT

Currently, the integration of technology and innovation into oral and maxillofacial surgery is becom ing more prevalent. The digital workflow has been transformed by the integration of AI tools, which has facilitated the creation of 3D virtual models of dentomaxillofacial structures. Despite progress, obstacles remain in dataset variability, algorithm generalization, and ethical considerations, including data security and privacy. The successful implementation of artificial intelligence technologies requires adherence to ethical guidelines. This chapter examines important ethical issues and their implications related to artificial intelligence and machine learning. It highlights the grow increasing use of artificial intelligence in maxillofacial surgery and emphasize stresses the current lack of information regarding the ethical concerns associated with its application.
