Background:

Competency-based training is transforming oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) education.
Computerized simulators are increasingly recognized for their potential in resident skill development and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review the literature on the scope of computerized simulation in OMS teaching.
To identify the applications and limitations of current simulation technologies in OMS training.

Main Methods:

A systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted.
A PubMed search identified 35 articles published between 2010 and 2021 on computerized simulation for maxillofacial procedures.
Two independent reviewers analyzed the selected literature.

Main Results:

Computerized simulation has been applied to various OMS procedures, including minor oral surgery, orthognathic surgery, trauma, cleft lip/palate repair, nerve blocks, endoscopic procedures, reconstructive surgery, and intubation.
Ten randomized controlled trials were found, but significant heterogeneity existed among the studies.
The reviewed literature highlights the potential of simulator training for skill acquisition under expert mentorship.

Conclusions:

Computerized simulation offers a promising avenue for enhancing OMS resident training.
Further rigorous studies are required to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation in knowledge acquisition and skill development within OMS programs.
Holistic resident training can be achieved through expert-mentored simulator-based skill acquisition.
