Abstract

Surgical skills are a fundamental component of both undergraduate and postgraduate dental curricula. In dentistry, surgical procedures frequently involve the head and neck region, which contains numerous vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels. Operating in this anatomically complex area requires specialists who are highly skilled and trained, which can be physically and mentally demanding for the operating surgeon. With advancements in science and technology, robotic-assisted surgery has gained increasing popularity, particularly in the fields of oral surgery and implantology, which are among the most intricate procedures in dentistry. This chapter explores the progression from conventional surgical methods to the development of remote and virtual surgical systems. As technology continues to evolve, it is expected that many of the current challenges and limitations will be progressively addressed and overcome.
