      <abstract>
        <p>Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has revolutionised surgical procedures in both medicine and dentistry. This review explores the benefits and limitations of CAS in maxillofacial surgery. Virtual surgical planning allows for a clear declaration of surgical intentions, avoiding conflicts between resection and reconstruction teams, and enabling communication of preferences and uncertainties. CAD-CAM software facilitates virtual surgery and generates templates and cutting guides for precise implementation in the operating room. CAS has had a significant impact on dental implant placement, enabling accurate positioning and improved outcomes. It also aids in skull base surgery and the removal of foreign bodies. Navigation systems provide real-time tracking and visualisation, ensuring accuracy and safety. However, because of the mandible__ampersandsign#39;s movement, there are restrictions, especially in mandibular surgery. Despite these challenges, CAS offers numerous advantages, including increased precision, reduced anaesthesia time, and improved efficiency.&#13;
