ABSTRACT

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a surgical speciality that deals with the diagnosis, surgical and auxil iary treatment methods of pathologies, trauma and developmental disorders of the hard and soft tissues of the mouth, jaw and facial region. The oldest known document in this field is a document called Edwin Smith Papyrus in 2700 BC Egypt. Since ancient times, people have sought the most perfect way to treat pain, pathology and defects in the mouth, teeth, jaw and face. They have used various materials such as honey and egg white in treatments. James E. Garretson (18281895) defined the real range of oral and maxillofacial surgery for the first time in history. The use of ether as an anaesthetic agent in tooth extraction in the 1840s is important for the comfort of patients. Many techniques and developments in surgery were discovered in the light of the famous philosopher Heraclitus, who said that ‘war is the father and king of all things’. World wars have enabled the leading physicians of oral and maxillofacial surgery and various surgical practices to take their place on the stage of history. Oral and maxillofacial surgery took its share from the technological developments in the 1960s. With the discovery of the first air rotor surgical instruments, surgeons were able to easily operate on hard tissues of the body such as teeth and bone. In the 2000s, with the introduction of piezosurgery in oral and maxillofacial surgery, complications that may occur to vital tissues during surgery have been greatly reduced. With the introduction of 3D printing by Charles W. Hull and Raymond S. Freed in 1986 and first introduced commercially in 1988, threedimensional printing technology has revolutionised surgical practice by offering intelligent solutions for planning, training and patient care. In the last 10 years, surgeons now have tangible, personalised 3D models derived from imaging, allowing for more precise surgical planning. These models increase surgical success, minimise complications and shorten operative times, allowing patients to recover. By providing handson learning experiences for doctors, the technology also serves as a powerful educational tool. This innovation was revolutionary, improving surgical practice and providing navigation for the surgeon. In this chapter, we will discuss the historical development of surgical tools and instruments used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as developments in treatment procedures and anaesthesia. We will witness humanity’s search for the most perfect treatment option.
