Application of 3D printed titanium mesh and digital guide plate in the repair of mandibular defects using double-layer folded fibula combined with simultaneous implantation. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1350227. [PMID: 38456007 PMCID: PMC10917970 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1350227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Fibula transplantation plays an irreplaceable role in restoring the function and morphology of the defected mandible. However, the complex load-bearing environment of the mandible makes it urgent to accurately reconstruct the mandible, ensure the position of the condyle after surgery, and restore the patient's occlusal function and contour. The intervention of digital design and three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium mesh provides a more efficient method and idea to solve this problem. Digital design guides the accurate positioning, osteotomy, and simultaneous implant placement during surgery, and 3D printed titanium mesh ensures stable condyle position after surgery, restoring good mandibular function. The double-layer folded fibula maintains the vertical height of the mandible and a good facial contour, and simultaneous implant placement can establish a good occlusal relationship. This study conducted a retrospective analysis of five patients with jaw defects who underwent digital fibula reconstruction over the past 3 years. It was found that the surgical protocol combining digital design, 3D printed intraoperative guides, 3D printed titanium mesh, free fibula flap, immediate implant, and occlusal reconstruction to repair jaw defects had more ideal facial appearance and biological function. It will provide a more reliable surgical protocol for clinical management of large mandibular defects.

Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2024; 46:3. [PMID: 38231325 PMCID: PMC10794675 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-024-00413-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One-stage jaw reconstruction with fibular flap and prosthetic rehabilitation restores bony and dental continuity simultaneously. It was also called as "jaw-in-a-day (JIAD)" technique. However, bone volume and height of fibular flap may be insufficient for dental implant insertion. The provision of a considerable amount of bone makes an iliac flap the ideal choice in these cases. We present the first case report to document the use of one-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap. CASE PRESENTATION We modified the conventional JIAD workflow to make it suitable for iliac flap. Two cases were presented who both underwent segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma. Virtual surgical planning was performed in all cases. The iliac crest was positioned upward to provide cortical bone for achieving primary stability of dental implants. Similar to the "all-on-4" procedure, the iliac bone was placed 12 to 15 mm below the occlusal plane to create adequate space for the implant-retained prosthesis. Immediate implant-based dental rehabilitation was performed at same stage. The surgery was successful in all cases without any short-term complications. In the first postoperative week, patients were given a liquid diet through a nasal feeding tube. The liquid diet is advised until 1 month after the surgery. Thereafter, a soft diet is recommended. Patients were advised to resume routine mastication and normal diet 3 months after the surgery. Peri-implantitis occurred in one patient, and additional gingival graft was required. Postoperative function and esthetics were satisfactory at the last follow-up visit. CONCLUSIONS One-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap are safe and useful for restoring postoperative function and esthetics. It should be used in more cases with a longer follow-up in further studies.

Li R, Meng Z, Zhang Y, Xu M, He Y. Digitally designed stent-assisted soft-tissue management after jaw reconstruction: a prospective cohort study. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:93. [PMID: 38217671 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05502-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A digitally designed stent was invented to assist vestibuloplasty and free gingival graft (FGG) after jaw reconstruction. This study aimed to compare the effects of conventional soft-tissue management comprising vestibuloplasty combined with FGG and modified soft-tissue management using a digitally designed stent on the vestibular sulcus depth (VD), keratinised-tissue width (KTW) and peri-implant tissue health in patients undergoing jaw reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled patients who underwent jaw reconstruction using a fibular flap, iliac flap, or onlay bone graft followed by implant-supported rehabilitation at the Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between May 2019 and July 2022. Patients in the stent group received digitally designed stents following vestibuloplasty combined with FGG for peri-implant soft-tissue management. Patients in the control group underwent a conventional vestibuloplasty combined with FGG. VD and KTW were evaluated immediately after implant loading (T2) and 1 year after implant loading (T3), and the atrophy rates of VD and KTW were calculated. Peri-implant clinical parameters were evaluated at T3. Comparisons between the groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The effects of age, sex, primary disease, reconstruction type, reconstructed jaw and the number and location of implants on VD and KTW were evaluated using linear regression analysis. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the atrophy rates of VD and KTW between the stent and control groups at T2 and T3 (both P ≥ 0.05). There were no significant differences in peri-implant clinical parameters between the stent and control groups at T3 (P ≥ 0.05). Reconstruction type, location of implants and primary disease influenced VD, and reconstruction type and age influenced KTW. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference in the maintenance of VD and KTW after jaw reconstruction between soft-tissue management using a digitally designed stent and the conventional method. Further, digitally designed stents do not affect peri-implant tissue health. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Digitally designed stents can simplify clinical procedures without adverse effects on peri-implant tissue health, but they do not promote keratinized mucosa augmentation and vestibuloplasty.

Vestibuloplasty and its impact on the long-term survival and success of dental implants in irradiated and non-irradiated patients after head and neck tumor therapy: a retrospective study. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:4695-4703. [PMID: 37330421 PMCID: PMC10415447 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05096-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the influence of vestibuloplasty on the clinical success and survival of dental implants in head and neck tumor patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective single-center study was conducted. All patients received surgical therapy of a tumor in the head or neck and underwent surgical therapy and, if necessary, radiotherapy/radiochemotherapy. Patients with compromised soft tissue conditions received vestibuloplasty using a split thickness skin graft and an implant-retained splint. Implant survival and success and the influence of vestibuloplasty, gender, radiotherapy, and localizations were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 247 dental implants in 49 patients (18 women and 31 men; mean age of 63.6 years) were evaluated. During the observation period, 6 implants were lost. The cumulative survival rate was 99.1% after 1 year and 3 years and 93.1% after 5 years for patients without vestibuloplasty, compared to a survival and success rate of 100% after 5 years in patients with vestibuloplasty. Additionally, patients with vestibuloplasty showed significantly lower peri-implant bone resorption rates after 5 years (mesial: p = 0.003; distal: p = 0.001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a high cumulative survival and success rate of dental implants after 5 years in head and neck tumor patients, irrespective of irradiation. Patients with vestibuloplasty showed a significantly higher rate of implant survival and significantly lower peri-implant bone resorption after 5 years. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Vestibuloplasty should always be considered and applied if required by the anatomical situations to achieve high implant survival/success rates in head and neck tumor patients.
