Cho JY, Ryu J, Jung S, Kook MS, Park HJ, Oh HK. In-house CAD/CAM fabricated repositioning guide in maxillary repositioning after Le Fort I osteotomy. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024:102102. [PMID: 39362633 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2024.102102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2024] [Accepted: 09/30/2024] [Indexed: 10/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the accuracy of two transferring methods, which are the intermediate splint made by computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and the customized maxillary repositioning guide for orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient data regarding virtual surgical simulations were collected. For analyzing the accuracy, the postoperative cone-beam computed tomography and preoperative simulation data were superimposed. The x, y, and z coordinates were obtained at three landmarks in the maxillary dentition, and the linear and angular differences between the surgical simulation and the actual surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were included in this study, 16 in the splint group and 17 in the guide group. One coordinate in the guide group and nine in the splint group showed errors of >2 mm, with a statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the three-dimensional error distance at each reference point. In most measurements, the interquartile range of the guide group showed a narrower distribution than that of the splint group. CONCLUSION It is more advantageous to use a customized maxillary repositioning guide than an intermediate splint made via CAD/CAM to obtain an accuracy within the 2 mm discrepancy range.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:1038-1051.e1. [PMID: 38825321 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The advantages of virtual surgical planning (VSP) for orthognathic surgery are clear. Previous studies have evaluated in-house VSP; however, few fully digital, in-house protocols for orthognathic surgery have been studied. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference between the virtual surgical plan and actual surgical outcome for orthognathic surgery using a fully digital, in-house VSP workflow. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This is a prospective cohort study from September 2020 to November 2022 of patients at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, NS, Canada who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Patients were excluded if they had previously undergone orthognathic surgery or were diagnosed with a craniofacial syndrome. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variables were the mean 3-dimensional (3D) (Euclidean) distance error, as well as mean error and mean absolute error in the transverse (x axis), vertical (y axis), and anterior-posterior (z axis) dimensions. COVARIATES Covariates included age, sex, and surgical sequence (mandible-first or maxilla-first). ANALYSES The primary outcome was tested using Z and t critical value confidence intervals. The P value was set at .05. The 3D distance error for mandible-first and maxilla-first groups was compared using a 2-sample t-test as well as analysis of variance. RESULTS The study sample included 52 subjects (24 males and 28 females) with a mean age of 27.7 (± 12.1) years. Forty three subjects underwent mandible-first surgery and 9 maxilla-first surgery. The mean absolute distance error was largest in the anterior-posterior dimension for all landmarks (except posterior nasal spine, left condyle, and gonion) and exceeded the threshold for clinical acceptability (2 mm) in 16 of 23 landmarks. Additionally, mean distance error in the anterior-posterior dimension was negative for all landmarks, indicating deficient movement in that direction. The effect of surgical sequence on 3D distance error was not statistically significant (P = .37). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In general, the largest contributor to mean 3D distance error was deficient movement in the anterior-posterior direction. Otherwise, mean absolute distance error in the vertical and transverse dimensions was clinically acceptable (< 2 mm). These findings were felt to be valuable for treatment planning purposes when using a fully digital, in-house VSP workflow.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024:S1010-5182(24)00235-X. [PMID: 39232862 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.08.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
The transfer of a virtual orthognathic surgical plan to the patient still relies on the use of occlusal splints, which have limitations for vertical positioning of the maxilla. The use of real-time navigation has been proposed to enhance surgical accuracy. This systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42024497588) aimed to investigate if surgical navigation can improve the three-dimensional accuracy of orthognathic surgery. The inclusion criteria were orthognathic surgery, use of intra-operative navigation and quantitative assessment of surgical accuracy. The exclusion criteria were non-bimaxillary orthognathic surgeries, non-clinical studies, studies without post-operative 3D analysis and publications not in the English language. A search of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library generated 940 records, of which 12 were found relevant. Risk of bias was assessed done using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist Tool. Among the included studies, there were nine of observational character and three randomized control studies (RCTs). All studies demonstrated promising outcomes with reported good surgical accuracy within a 2 mm difference between the planned and post-surgical result. Meta-analysis of two RCTs was carried out and results were in favor of surgical navigation with a total odds ratio of 4.44 [2.11, 9.37] and an overall effect outcome of Z = 3.92 (p < 0.0001). Navigation was up to 0.60 mm more accurate than occlusal wafers only (p < 0.001). However, there were variations in the application of surgical navigation and methods of analysis, leading to a heterogenous data set. Future studies should focus on standardized protocols and analysis methods to further validate the use of surgical navigation in orthognathic surgery. Despite some limitations, surgical navigation shows potential as a valuable tool in improving the accuracy of orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Reconstructing maxillofacial defects is quiet challenging due to the region's complex anatomy, and cosmetic and functional effects on patients. With the help of developing technologies, patient-specific implants (PSIs) using virtual surgical planning based on a Computer aided designing (CAD)/Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) platform is an evolving treatment option. PSIs can be used in patients with maxillofacial defects and reconstruction. PSIs are also being used in the form of preformed plates for virtually planned orthognathic surgeries. Customized temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis is being routinely used in the debilitating/degenerative joint disease as a part of alloplastic joint replacement. The reconstruction of the maxillofacial region using autogenous tissue will always be gold standard due to near match of the recipient site. However, autogenous bone grafts positioned using PSIs or in certain areas such as the TMJ complex and the orbital region the PSIs are being offered with advantage of reduced donor-site morbidity. The future research is focussed towards the development of PSIs being used as a scaffold for engineering of the recipient tissue to restore the lost anatomy of specific region. This article reviews the varied aspects of this new technology of PSI for correction of various deformities/defects during the maxillofacial reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Orthognathic surgery (OS) has evolved with technological advancements, notably through the implementation of computer-assisted orthognathic surgery (CAOS). This article aims to elucidate various types of CAOS and their efficiency and accuracy, supplemented by a thorough literature review focusing on their clinical applications in South Korea. STUDY SELECTION, DATA, AND SOURCES A comprehensive search strategy was employed, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies published until December 2023 in the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases. The literature search was limited to articles written in English. RESULTS Static CAOS demonstrated high precision, reduced operative time, and high accuracy, suggesting its potential reliability in orthognathic procedures. Dynamic CAOS presented a promising avenue for exploration, showing an accuracy comparable to that of traditional methods. The critical considerations for CAOS include accuracy, time efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Recent studies have indicated advancements in the time efficiency of static CAOS. Static CAOS requires less equipment and is more cost-effective than dynamic CAOS. CONCLUSIONS CAOS offers clear advantages over conventional OS in terms of surgical convenience and accuracy in implementing the surgical plan. To achieve recognition as the gold standard method for maxillofacial deformity treatment, CAOS must overcome its limitations and undergo continuous verification via well-designed studies. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The introduction of CAOS, mainly static CAOS with high precision and reduced surgical time, signifies a notable advancement in OS. However, rigorous studies are warranted to validate CAOS as the gold standard for treating maxillofacial deformities.

Abstract
A novel approach to Le Fort I osteotomy is presented, integrating patient-specific implants (PSIs), osteosynthesis and cutting guides within a minimally invasive surgical framework, and the accuracy of the procedure is assessed through 3D voxel-based superimposition. The technique was applied in 5 cases. Differences between the surgical plan and final outcome were evaluated as follows: a 2-mm color scale was established to assess the anterior surfaces of the maxilla, mandible and chin, as well as the condylar surfaces. Measurements were made at 8 specific landmarks, and all of them showed a mean difference of less than 1 mm. In conclusion, the described protocol allows for minimally invasive Le Fort I osteotomy using PSIs. Besides, although the accuracy of the results may be limited by the small sample size, the findings are consistent with those reported in the literature. A prospective comparative study is needed to obtain statistically significant results and draw meaningful conclusions.

Abstract
The multimodal and multidomain registration of medical images have gained increasing recognition in clinical practice as a powerful tool for fusing and leveraging useful information from different imaging techniques and in different medical fields such as cardiology and orthopedics. Image registration could be a challenging process, and it strongly depends on the correct tuning of registration parameters. In this paper, the robustness and accuracy of a landmarks-based approach have been presented for five cardiac multimodal image datasets. The study is based on 3D Slicer software and it is focused on the registration of a computed tomography (CT) and 3D ultrasound time-series of post-operative mitral valve repair. The accuracy of the method, as a function of the number of landmarks used, was performed by analysing root mean square error (RMSE) and fiducial registration error (FRE) metrics. The validation of the number of landmarks resulted in an optimal number of 10 landmarks. The mean RMSE and FRE values were 5.26 ± 3.17 and 2.98 ± 1.68 mm, respectively, showing comparable performances with respect to the literature. The developed registration process was also tested on a CT orthopaedic dataset to assess the possibility of reconstructing the damaged jaw portion for a pre-operative planning setting. Overall, the proposed work shows how 3D Slicer and registration by landmarks can provide a useful environment for multimodal/unimodal registration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-assisted surgery is widely used in mandibular reconstruction, but the process is not well described for cases using the deep circumflex iliac artery flap (DCIA) as the donor site. This study aimed to present a DCIA-based three-component surgical template system (3-STS) in patients with a mandibular Brown class I defect. METHODS This retrospective cohort study compared clinical outcomes of mandibular reconstruction with DCIA flap using 3-STS or conventional surgical templates. The primary outcome of the study was the accuracy of reconstruction, and the secondary outcomes included surgical time and bone flap ischemia time. Surgery-related parameters and functional outcomes were also recorded and compared. RESULTS Forty-four patients (23 in the 3-STS group and 21 in the control group) between 2015 and 2021 were included. Compared with the control group, the 3-STS group had higher accuracy of reconstruction, indicated by lower deviation in absolute distance (1.45 ± 0.76 mm versus 2.02 ± 0.89 mm; P = 0.034), and less deviation in coronal and sagittal angles (0.86 ± 0.53 degree versus 1.27 ± 0.59 degrees, P = 0.039; and 2.52 ± 1.00 degrees versus 3.25 ± 1.25 versus, P = 0.047) between preoperative and postoperative computed tomographic imaging. Surgical time and bone flap ischemia time were significantly reduced in the 3-STS group compared with the control group (median time, 385 minutes versus 445 minutes and 32 minutes versus 53 minutes, respectively; P < 0.001). In addition, masseter attachment was preserved in the 3-STS group but not in the control group. No differences were found in adverse events or other clinical variables. CONCLUSION The 3-STS can improve accuracy, simplify intraoperative procedures to increase surgical efficiency, and preserve functionality in mandibular reconstruction for Brown class I defects.

Skeletal stability after mandible bilateral sagittal split osteotomy - comparison of patient-specific implant and mini-plate fixation: A retrospective study. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024; 52:93-100. [PMID: 38129183 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2023.11.010] [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: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the stability of the virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided design accompanied by patient-specific implants (PSIs) and conventional mini-plates in mandible advancement with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). This retrospective study evaluates the clinical and cephalometric records of 53 patients (12 male, 41 female) treated with BSSO in Helsinki University Hospital. Subjects were divided into two groups: VSP-PSI (21 patients: 4 male and 17 female; mean age 38 years, range 25-53 years); and conventional wafer-based repositioning with mini-plate fixation (32 patients: 8 male and 24 female; mean age 39 years, range 21-56 years). The effect of the amount and direction of the advancement on the stability was also analysed individually. The standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs in three time points were analysed to compare the groups. After surgery (T2), there were no differences between groups in cephalometric variables. During follow-up (T2-T3), the cephalometric variables in both Groups A and B were stable, so there was no difference in stability between the VSP-PSI and the conventional mini-plate groups. During follow-up, the mandibles rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, relapsed towards their original direction, and the changes were statistically significant (jaw relationship; p = 0.018, soft tissue profile; p = 0.025); when the advancement of mandible was >6 mm, the increase in gonial angle compared to mandibles advanced ≤6 mm was statistically significant (p = 0.03). VSP-PSI and conventional mini-plate fixation can be considered equally stable. Large advancements with counterclockwise rotation regardless of fixation method are more susceptible to relapse. VSP-PSI alone cannot solve the relapse-related concerns in mandible osteotomy.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to report the author's technique for using patient-specific distractors for customized distraction osteogenesis of the mandible in patients with Pierre Robin sequence and upper airway obstruction. The advantages of virtual planning and patient-specific plates in other aspects of craniomaxillofacial surgery, such as orthognathic and reconstructive surgery, have been reported previously. Similar to patient-specific plates, the theorized advantages of patient-specific distractors in infants with Robin sequence and upper airway obstruction include increased accuracy, decreased operating time, and less morbidity to vital anatomic structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve and developing tooth buds. This technique is novel in using patient-specific distractors in the craniomaxillofacial skeleton.

Abstract
The adequate three-dimensional location of the maxilla is one of the main objectives in orthognathic surgery. We propose an instrument manufactured from a Fox Plane (FP) modified with red light in the shape of a cross and a bubble level, in which we perform an occlusal registration for the trans-surgical control of the three-dimensional position of the maxilla, By adding an occlusal registration to the FP, the occlusal plane is transferred and amplified to an extraoral reference. The red light in the shape of a cross allows us to assess the success of our movements more accurately.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthognathic surgery is considered nowadays as a revolutionary treatment option for treating skeletal discrepancies and severe malocclusions in the sagittal, vertical and transverse dimensions. This surgery allows both the restoration of facial harmony and the achievement of satisfactory dental occlusion. The technology of computer-assisted surgeries including virtual surgical simulation programs and planning software greatly contributes to providing a three-dimensional simulation and precise mobilization of the maxilla and/or mandible, thus allowing the prediction of the final outcome in soft tissues. This study aims to systematically review the available scientific literature about the accuracy of the hard and soft tissue predictions delivered by the many promoted three-dimensional simulation software. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted on various databases: Medline via PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO-host, and Web of Science. The search was established on a well-defined research question following PICO principle: population, intervention, comparator and outcome. Search evaluation and the assessment of risk of bias were undertaken in each study following its type and design. RESULTS Fifteen studies were included for qualitative analysis. Seven studies evaluated the accuracy of soft tissue prediction, seven focused more on the accuracy of hard tissue and one study assessed both hard and soft tissue prediction accuracy delivered by the simulation software. Moreover, three studies were judged to be low risk and four were classified as high risk. Included studies revealed that hard tissue prediction is highly accurate and reliable, leading to clinically acceptable results. Yet, soft tissue prediction is unclear due to various factors that bias its results. Caution should therefore be taken when providing information about the soft tissue planning to patients. CONCLUSIONS Computer assisted 3D simulation protocols allow for more precise repositioning of the maxilla and/or mandible compared to conventional 2D methods. However, 3D soft tissue prediction using simulation software remains less accurate, especially in the labial region.

Abstract
In-house repositioning methods based on three-dimensional (3D)-printing technology and the use of pre-bent plates has been gaining popularity in orthognathic surgery. However, there remains room for further improvement in methods and investigations on clinical factors that affect accuracy. This single-centre, prospective study included 34 patients and aimed to evaluate the accuracy and factors influencing maxillary and mandibular repositioning using pre-bent locking plates. The plates were manually pre-bent on the 3D-printed models of the planned position, and their hole positions were scanned and reproduced intraoperatively with osteotomy guides. The accuracy of repositioning and plate-hole positioning was calculated in three axes with the set landmarks. The following clinical factors that affect repositioning accuracy were also verified: deviation of the plate-hole positioning, amount of planned movement, and amount of simulated bony interference. The median deviations of the repositioning and hole positioning between the preoperative plan and postoperative results were 0.26 mm and 0.23 mm, respectively, in the maxilla, and 0.69 mm and 0.36 mm, respectively, in the mandible, suggesting that the method was highly accurate, and the repositioning concept based on the plate hole and form matching was more effective in the maxilla. Results of the correlation test suggest that large amounts of bony interference and plate-hole positioning errors in the up/down direction could reduce mandibular repositioning accuracy.

BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:842. [PMID: 37940900 PMCID: PMC10630995 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03596-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandibular defects can greatly affect patients' appearance and functionality. The preferred method to address this issue is reconstructive surgery using a fibular flap. The current personalized guide plate can improve the accuracy of osteotomy and reconstruction, but there are still some problems such as complex design process and time-consuming. Therefore, we modified the conventional template to serve the dual purpose of guiding the mandible and fibula osteotomy and facilitating the placement of the pre-bent titanium. METHODS The surgery was simulated preoperatively using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology. The template and truncatable reconstruction model were produced in the laboratory using 3D printing. After pre-bending the titanium plate according to the contour, the reconstruction model was truncated and the screw trajectory was transferred to form a modified osteotomy and positioning integrative template system (MOPITS). Next, the patient underwent a composite template-guided vascularized fibula flap reconstruction of the mandible. All cases were reviewed for the total operative time and accuracy of surgery. RESULTS The procedures involved 2-4 fibular segments in 15 patients, averaging 3 fibular segments per procedure. The osteotomy error is 1.01 ± 1.02 mm, while the reconstruction angular error is 1.85 ± 1.69°. The preoperative and postoperative data were compared, and both p > 0.05. During the same operation, implant placement was performed on four patients, with an average operative time of 487.25 ± 60.84 min. The remaining malignant tumor patients had an average operative time of 397.18 ± 73.09 min. The average postoperative hospital stay was 12.95 ± 3.29 days. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the effectiveness of MOPITS in facilitating precise preoperative planning and intraoperative execution of fibula flap reconstruction. MOPITS represents a promising and reliable tool for reconstructive surgery, particularly for inexperienced surgeons navigating the challenges of mandible defect reconstruction.

Latest Evidence on Orthognathic Surgery Techniques and Potential Changes in Oral Microbiota related to Intermaxillary Fixation in Orthodontic Patients: A Systematic Review. Open Dent J 2023; 17. [DOI: 10.2174/0118742106251796231018070818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background:
Orthognathic surgery is often applied for the correction of facial dysmorphia, and different findings were highlighted regarding the techniques applied. After surgical treatment, intermaxillary fixation is placed, which compromises oral hygiene and, consequently, can lead to increased plaque accumulation and microbiological changes, promoting the proliferation of periodontopathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the aims of the present review are to describe the main evidence from the last 20 years of clinical studies concerning surgical techniques applied to orthognathic surgery and, finally, to analyze potential changes in the oral microbiota.
Materials and Methods:
An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed (MEDLINE) and Scopus databases; the MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) terms are bacteria, dental plaque, evidence-based practice, maxillomandibular fixation, microbiota, operative procedures, and orthognathic surgery.
Results:
At the end of the search process, 31 relevant articles were finally included and analyzed in this systematic review, which has a low risk of bias. Clinical studies on humans have been considered in this review. Based on the studies included it would be preferable to use piezoelectric technology in osteotomies because of its many advantages, “surgery-first” technique allows for results comparable to the standard technique in Class III malocclusions while improving quality of life more rapidly, the “mandible-first” technique seems to have more advantages than the “maxilla-first” technique, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) could provide more accurate and precise results, and finally, Laser can be applied with different advantages. Regarding intermaxillary fixation, no long-term increase in the concentration of periodontal bacteria was recorded.
Conclusion:
Several findings still need to be confirmed with reference to the best suturing technique to reconstitute the nasal wing base, the real effectiveness of “surgery-first,” “maxilla-first,” and “mandible-first” approaches in patients with Class III malocclusion, the use of CAD/CAM and Laser, more studies should be conducted to evaluate quantitative and qualitative changes in other microorganisms following intermaxillary fixation.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to a wide range of additive manufacturing processes that enable the construction of structures and models. It has been rapidly adopted for a variety of surgical applications, including the printing of patient-specific anatomical models, implants and prostheses, external fixators and splints, as well as surgical instrumentation and cutting guides. In comparison to traditional methods, 3D-printed models and surgical guides offer a deeper understanding of intricate maxillofacial structures and spatial relationships. This review article examines the utilization of 3D printing in orthognathic surgery, particularly in the context of treatment planning. It discusses how 3D printing has revolutionized this sector by providing enhanced visualization, precise surgical planning, reduction in operating time, and improved patient communication. Various databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Medline, were searched with relevant keywords. A total of 410 articles were retrieved, of which 71 were included in this study. This article concludes that the utilization of 3D printing in the treatment planning of orthognathic surgery offers a wide range of advantages, such as increased patient satisfaction and improved functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to assess the accuracy of prebent plates and computer-aided design and manufacturing osteotomy guide for orthognathic surgery. The prebent plates correspondent to the planning model were scanned with a 3-dimensional printed model for guide design and used for fixation. Forty-two patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery using computer-aided design and manufacturing intermediate splint with the guide (guided group: 20 patients) or with conventional fixation under straight locking miniplates (SLMs) technique (SLM group: 20 patients) were analyzed. A deviation of the maxilla between the planned and postoperative positions was evaluated using computed tomography, which was taken 2 weeks before and 4 days after the surgery. The surgery time and the infraorbital nerve paranesthesia were also evaluated. The mean deviations in the mediolateral ( x ), anteroposterior ( y ), and vertical directions ( z ) were 0.25, 0.50, and 0.37 mm, respectively, in the guided group, while that in the SLM group were 0.57, 0.52, and 0.82 mm, respectively. There were significant differences in x and z coordinates ( P <0.001). No significant difference in the surgery duration and paranesthesia was seen, suggesting the present method offers a half-millimeter accuracy for the maxillary repositioning without increasing the risk of extending surgery duration and nerve complication.

Abstract
The Le Fort I osteotomy is used to reposition the maxilla to correct numerous maxillofacial and occlusal deformities. The aim of this study was to delineate perioperative complication rates associated with Le Fort I osteotomy and determine whether the number of maxillary segments or bone grafting yielded increased complication rates. Patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy from 2012 to 2019 were identified from the multi-institution "National Surgical Quality Improvement Program" database using Current Procedure Terminology codes. The predictor variables of interest included maxillary segmentation defined as 1, 2, or 2 pieces and the presence or absence of bone graft. Perioperative complications were collected as the primary outcome variable, including superficial and deep space infections, wound dehiscence, airway complication, peripheral nerve injury, and hemorrhage. The secondary outcome variables included readmission and reoperation rate within the 30-day postoperative period. Complication rates were compared using multivariate analysis across groups stratified by the number of maxillary segments and inclusion of bone grafting. Of the 532 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 333 (63%) underwent 1-piece, 114 (21%) 2-piece, and 85 (16%) 2-piece Le Fort I osteotomy procedures. A total of 48 patients exhibited complications (9%), with hemorrhage (2.3%) being the most common complication observed. The number of maxillary segments was not a significant predictor of perioperative complications ( P = 0.948) nor was the use of bone grafting ( P = 0.279).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of maxillary positioning using computer-designed and manufactured occlusal splints or patient-specific implants in orthognathic surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 28 patients that underwent virtually planned orthognathic surgery with maxillary Le Fort I osteotomy either using VSP-generated splints (n = 13) or patient-specific implants (PSI) (n = 15) was conducted. The accuracy and surgical outcome of both techniques were compared by superimposing preoperative surgical planning with postoperative CT scans and measurement of translational and rotational deviation for each patient. RESULTS The 3D global geometric deviation between the planned position and the postoperative outcome was 0.60 mm (95%-CI 0.46-0.74, range 0.32-1.11 mm) for patients with PSI and 0.86 mm (95%-CI 0.44-1.28, range 0.09-2.60 mm) for patients with surgical splints. Postoperative differences for absolute and signed single linear deviations between planned and postoperative position were a little higher regarding the x-axis and pitch but lower regarding the y- and z-axis as well as yaw and roll for PSI compared to surgical splints. There were no significant differences regarding global geometric deviation, absolute and signed linear deviations in the x-, y-, and z-axis, and rotations (yaw, pitch, and roll) between both groups. CONCLUSIONS Regarding accuracy for positioning of maxillary segments after Le Fort I osteotomy in orthognathic surgery patient-specific implants and surgical splints provide equivalent high accuracy. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Patient-specific implants for maxillary positioning and fixation facilitate the concept of splintless orthognathic surgery and can be reliably used in clinical routines.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:914. [PMID: 37627799 PMCID: PMC10452001 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10080914] [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: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Maxillofacial skeletal surgery often involves the use of patient-specific implants. However, errors in obtaining patient data and designing and manufacturing patient-specific plates and guides can occur even with accurate virtual surgery. To address these errors, bespoke Snowman plates were designed to allow movement of the mandible. This study aimed to compare the stability of bespoke four-hole miniplates with that of a bespoke Snowman plate for bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), and to present a method to investigate joint cavity changes, as well as superimpose virtual and actual surgical images of the mandible. This retrospective study included 22 patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent orthognathic surgery at a university hospital between 2015 and 2018. Two groups were formed on the basis of the plates used: a control group with four-hole bespoke plates and a study group with bespoke Snowman plates. Stability was assessed by measuring the condyle-fossa space and superimposing three-dimensional virtual surgery images on postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. No significant differences were observed in the condyle-fossa space preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively between the control and study groups. Superimposing virtual surgery and CBCT scans revealed minimal differences in the landmark points, with no variation between groups or timepoints. The use of bespoke Snowman plates for stabilizing the mandible following SSRO exhibited clinical stability and reliability similar to those with bespoke four-hole plates. Additionally, a novel method was introduced to evaluate skeletal stability by separately analyzing the condyle-fossa gap changes and assessing the mandibular position.

[PMID: 37511680 PMCID: PMC10381611 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13071067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Facial asymmetry is common in unilateral clefts. Since virtual surgical planning (VSP) is becoming more common and automated segmentation is utilized more often, the position and asymmetry of the orbits can affect the design outcome. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients requiring orthognathic surgery have asymmetry of the bony orbits. Retrospectively, we analyzed the preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or computed tomography (CT) data of UCLP (n = 15) patients scheduled for a Le Fort 1 (n = 10) or bimaxillary osteotomy (n = 5) with VSP at the Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Center, Helsinki University Hospital. The width, height, and depth of the bony orbit and the distance between the sella turcica and infraorbital canal were measured. A volumetric analysis of the orbits was also performed. The measurements were tested for distribution, and the cleft side and the contralateral side were compared statistically with a two-sided paired t-test. To assess asymmetry in the non-cleft population, we performed the same measurements of skeletal class III patients undergoing orthognathic surgery at Päijät-Häme Central Hospital (n = 16). The volume of bony orbit was statistically significantly smaller (p = 0.014), the distance from the infraorbital canal to sella turcica was shorter (p = 0.019), and the anatomical location of the orbit was more medio-posterior on the cleft side than on the contralateral side. The non-cleft group showed no statistically significant asymmetry in any measurements. According to these preliminary results, UCLP patients undergoing orthognathic surgery show asymmetry of the bony orbit not seen in skeletal class III patients without a cleft. This should be considered in VSP for the correction of maxillary hypoplasia and facial asymmetry in patients with UCLP.

Accuracy Analysis of Computer-Assisted and Guided Dental Implantology by Comparing 3D Planning Data and Actual Implant Placement in a Mandibular Training Model: A Monocentric Comparison between Dental Students and Trained Implantologists. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1037. [PMID: 37511650 PMCID: PMC10381824 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13071037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate how precisely implantation can be realized by participants on a phantom head according to preliminary planning. Of particular interest here was the influence of participants' previous knowledge and surgical experience on the precision of the implant placement. The placed implants were scanned using an intraoral scanner, saved as STL files, and superimposed with the 3D-planned implant placement. Deviations from the planning were indicated in millimeters and degrees. We were able to show that on average, the deviations from computer-assisted 3D planning were less than 1 mm for implantologists, and the students also did not deviate more than 1.78 mm on average from 3D planning. This study shows that guided implantology provides predictable and reproducible results in dental implantology. Incorrect positioning, injuries to anatomical structures, and implant positions that cannot be prosthetically restored can thus be avoided.

Stability of maxillary expansion osteotomy using patient-specific fixation implants without necessitating removable appliances: a retrospective analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2023:10.1007/s00784-023-05082-3. [PMID: 37256431 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05082-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the long-term stability of surgical maxillary expansion using patient-specific fixation implants (PSFIs) without intraoral retention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients who had undergone segmented Le Fort I osteotomy and PSFIs with available preoperative (t0) early (t1) and 1-year follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans (t2) were evaluated. The early and 1-year 3D models were superimposed to transfer the bony landmarks; the distances between each pair of landmarks at the different time points were then measured. The distances between the canines and second molars were also measured directly on the CT scans. RESULTS The achieved maxillary expansions ranged from a median of 4.39 (2.00-6.27) mm at the greater palatine foramina to a median of 2.14 (1.56-2 > 83) mm at the canine level of the palatal bone. One year postoperatively, the changes in skeletal diameters ranged from a median of - 0.53 (- 1.65 to 0.41) mm at the greater palatine foramina (p = 0.12) to 0.17 (- 0.09 to 0.32) mm at the canine level of the palatal bone (p = 0.56). Changes in dental arch diameters ranged from a median of - 0.6 (- 2 to 0.00) mm between the second molars to - 1.3 (- 1.8 to - 0.25) mm between the canines (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study showed the stability of maxillary expansion osteotomy using PSFIs, even without postoperative intraoral retention. CLINICAL RELEVANCE PSFIs are a reliable method for the surgical treatment of transverse maxillary discrepancy. PFSIs are easy-to-use and improve surgical accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The primary aim was to evaluate the prevalence and localisation of dental injuries caused by osteosynthesis screws during orthognathic surgery, comparing two different CAD/CAM planning/surgical approaches through retrospective evaluation of post-operative computed tomography. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study considered all patients who underwent orthognathic surgery from 2010-2019. The examination for dental root injuries between conventional osteosynthesis (Maxilla conventional cohort) and osteosynthesis with patient-specific implant (Maxilla PSI cohort) was performed by evaluating the post-operative CT scans. RESULTS A total of 126 patients were included in the study. Among the 61 patients of the Maxilla conventional cohort, 10 dental root injuries in 8 patients (13.1%) were detected in the post-operative CT scan, representing 1.5% (n = 10/651) of the osteosynthesis screws inserted in proximity of the alveolar crest. No dental injury occurred following osteosynthesis in the 65 patients of the Maxillary PSI cohort (n = 0/773 screws) (p < 0.001). During a mean follow-up period of 13 months after primary surgery, none of the injured teeth showed evidence of periapical alterations and no endodontic treatments were necessary. CONCLUSIONS Maxillary positioning using CAD/CAM-fabricated drill/osteotomy guide and osteosynthesis with PSI can significantly reduce the risk for dental injury compared to the conventional procedure. However, the clinical significance of the detected dental injuries was rather minor.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bibliometric analyses provide information on the effectiveness, performance, trends, and various other characteristics of research by using mathematical and statistical analysis methods for data related to scientific publications. This study aims to determine the focus of studies in the field of orthognathic surgery, map it, and present the results in a simplified manner through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. METHODS In this bibliometric analysis study, orthognathic surgery publications from 1980 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The independent variables were co-citations, while the outcome variables included cross-country collaboration analysis, keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and cluster analysis of the co-citation network. Covariates were the number of publications, number of citations, year range, centrality value, and silhouette value. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-Studio software. RESULTS A total of 7,135 publications and 75,822 references were included in the analysis, and the annual growth rate of publications was 9.52%. The co-citation clustering analysis revealed that the orthognathic surgery literature was organized into 16 subject headings. Patient satisfaction was found to be the most widely published topic. The youngest clusters, representing new topics in the field, were virtual planning and examination of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSION Bibliometric analysis methods were used to evaluate the 40-year history of the orthognathic surgery literature. The analysis identified the most influential publications, the topics in which the literature is divided, and hot spots in the field. By conducting similar bibliometric research studies in the future, the progress and future direction of the literature can be monitored based on evidence.

Accuracy of mandibular repositioning surgery using new technology: Computer-aided design and manufacturing customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2023; 163:357-367.e3. [PMID: 36503861 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent 3-dimensional technology advancements have resulted in new techniques to improve the accuracy of intraoperative transfer. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates on mandibular repositioning surgery performed in isolation or combined with simultaneous maxillary repositioning surgery. METHODS Sixty patients who underwent mandibular advancement surgery by the same surgeon were retrospectively evaluated by 3-dimensional surface-based superimposition. A 3-point coordinate system (x, y, z) was used to identify the linear and angular discrepancies between the planned movements and actual outcomes. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the outcomes between the mandible-only and the bimaxillary surgery groups with significance at P <0.05. Pearson correlation coefficient compared planned mandible advancement to the outcome from advancement planned. The centroid, which represents the mandible as a single unit, was computed from 3 landmarks, and the discrepancies were evaluated by the root mean square error (RMSE) for clinical significance set at 2 mm for linear discrepancies and 4° for angular discrepancies. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the planned and actual position of the mandible in either group when considering absolute values of the differences. When considering raw directional data, a statistically significant difference was identified in the y-axis suggesting a tendency for under-advancement of the mandible in the bimaxillary group. The largest translational RMSE for the centroid was 0.77 mm in the sagittal dimension for the bimaxillary surgery group. The largest rotational RMSE for the centroid was 1.25° in the transverse dimension for the bimaxillary surgery group. Our results show that the precision and clinical feasibility of CAD-CAM customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates on mandibular repositioning surgery is well within clinically acceptable parameters. CONCLUSION Mandibular repositioning surgery can be performed predictably and accurately with the aid of CAD-CAM customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates with or without maxillary surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mandibular anterior subapical osteotomy (MASO) is a complementary procedure during orthognathic surgery to correct proclination or extrusion of the anterior incisors when orthodontic movements fail. The increasing use of patient-specific implants (PSI, titanium plates) in orthognathic surgery has extended to this procedure. Digital orthognathic surgery planning involves manufacturing cutting/drilling guides and specific implants to provide better accuracy and allow complex movement with reduced surgical times compared to conventional planning. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of computer-aided surgery with patient-specific implants in mobilising the MASO segment according to planning. METHODS Eleven consecutive patients with mean age 26.82 years (15-41, SD = 10.65) were treated with MASO in addition to other conventional orthognathic procedures incorporating digital planning and patient-specific implants. A three-dimensional "stl" format file of the mandibular dental arch was obtained using an intraoral scanner at the end of the surgical procedure. The accuracy of the MASO segment displacement imposed by PSI was assessed by comparing preoperative 3D-planned mandibular dental arch with the immediate postoperative 3D-measured arch, using surface superimposition and 7 standard dental landmarks. Deviations between the preoperative and postoperative landmarks were calculated and compared to determine whether MASO segment repositioning is sufficiently accurate to be safely used to reposition the incisor/canine axis. RESULTS Quantitative analysis revealed an absolute linear difference of 0.66 mm (SD = 0.51) between preoperative 3D digital dental arch impression and postoperative planned 3D dental arch. Overall, the median absolute discrepancies in the x-axis (right-left direction), y-axis (antero-posterior direction), and z-axis (supero-inferior direction) were respectively 0.56 mm (SD = 0.42), 0.77 mm (SD = 0.45) and 0.65 mm (SD = 0.61). CONCLUSION A high degree of accuracy between the virtual plan and the immediate postoperative result was observed. According to our results, PSI can be used safely with accuracy in MASO as an adjunct to other conventional orthognathic procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The design and fabrication of three-dimensional (3D)-printed patient-specific implants (PSIs) for orthognathic surgery are customarily outsourced to commercial companies. We propose a protocol of designing PSIs and surgical guides by orthognathic surgeons-in-charge instead for wafer-less Le Fort I osteotomy. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the accuracy and post-operative complications of PSIs that are designed in-house for Le Fort I osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The post-operative cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) model of the maxilla was superimposed to the virtual surgical planning to compare the discrepancies of pre-determined landmarks, lines, and principal axes between the two models. Twenty-five patients (12 males, 13 females) were included. RESULTS The median linear deviations of the post-operative maxilla of the x, y, and z axes were 0.74 mm, 0.75 mm, and 0.72 mm, respectively. The deviations in the principal axes for pitch, yaw, and roll were 1.40°, 0.90°, and 0.60°, respectively. There were no post-operative complications related to the PSIs in the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS The 3D-printed PSIs designed in-house for wafer-less Le Fort I osteotomy are accurate and safe. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Its clinical outcomes and accuracy are comparable to commercial PSIs for orthognathic surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical trial registration number: HKUCTR-2113. Date of registration: 29 July 2016.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of virtual surgical planning and patient-specific saw and drill guides combined with customized osteosynthesis is becoming a gold standard in orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study is to report preliminary results of the use of virtual surgical planning and the wafer-free PSI technique in cleft patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient-specific saw and drill guides combined with milled patient-specific 3D titanium alloy implants were used in reposition and fixation in Le Fort I osteotomy of 12 cleft patients. Surgical information was retrieved from hospital records. Pre- and post-operative lateral cephalograms were analyzed. RESULTS In 10 of 12 cases, the implants fitted as planned to predesigned drill holes and bone contours with high precision. In one patient, the mobilization of the maxilla was too demanding for virtually planned advancement, and the implants could not be used. In another patient, PSI fitting was impaired due to an insufficient mobilization of maxilla and tension on PSI fixation with screws. After the surgery, the mean advancement of the anterior maxilla (point A) of all patients was 5.8 mm horizontally (range 2.7-10.1) and -3.1 mm vertically (range -9.2 to 3.4). Skeletal relationships of the maxilla and mandible could be corrected successfully in all patients except for the one whose PSI could not be used. CONCLUSIONS Virtual surgical planning combined with PSI is a possible useful clinical adjunct for the correction of maxillary hypoplasia in cleft patients. Large maxillary advancements and scarring may be cause problems for desired advancement and for the use of implants.

Three-Dimensional Accuracy and Stability of Personalized Implants in Orthognathic Surgery: A Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13010125. [PMID: 36675786 PMCID: PMC9867342 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13010125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic review aimed to determine the accuracy/stability of patient-specific osteosynthesis (PSI) in orthognathic surgery according to three-dimensional (3D) outcome analysis and in comparison to conventional osteosynthesis and computer-aided designed and manufactured (CAD/CAM) splints or wafers. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and six academic databases and Google Scholar were searched. Records reporting 3D accuracy/stability measurements of bony segments fixated with PSI were included. Of 485 initial records, 21 met the eligibility (566 subjects), nine of which also qualified for a meta-analysis (164 subjects). Six studies had a high risk of bias (29%), and the rest were of low or moderate risk. Procedures comprised either single-piece or segmental Le Fort I and/or mandibular osteotomy and/or genioplasty. A stratified meta-analysis including 115 subjects with single-piece Le Fort I PSI showed that the largest absolute mean deviations were 0.5 mm antero-posteriorly and 0.65° in pitch. PSIs were up to 0.85 mm and 2.35° more accurate than conventional osteosynthesis with CAD/CAM splint or wafer (p < 0.0001). However, the clinical relevance of the improved accuracy has not been shown. The literature on PSI for multi-piece Le Fort I, mandibular osteotomies and genioplasty procedure is characterized by high methodological heterogeneity and a lack of randomized controlled trials. The literature is lacking on the 3D stability of bony segments fixated with PSI.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti)-based implants play a significant role in rigid internal fixation in maxillofacial surgery. No study has reported that three-dimensional-printed Ti alloy plates (3D-Ti plates) have comprehensively excellent properties similar to standard plates (Matrix-MANDIBLE, SYNTHES, Switzerland) (Synthes-Ti plates). In this work, we manufactured 3D-Ti plates by selective laser melting with Ti6Al4V powder. The surface morphology, mechanical properties, and bone-plate contact rate of the 3D-Ti plates and the Synthes-Ti plates were characterized and compared via electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Vickers hardness test, three-point bending test, and software calculation. Human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) were cultured on the plates to test their biocompatibility. Importantly, the 3D-Ti plates were placed into a mandibular fracture model to assess the effect of medical application for 4 and 24 weeks. The 3D-Ti plates were demonstrated to have similar biocompatibility and stability for rigid internal fixation with the Synthes-Ti plates, lower roughness (106.44 ± 78.35 nm), better mechanical strength (370.78 ± 1.25 HV10), and a higher bone-plate contact rate (96.9%). These promising results indicate the feasibility of using 3D-Ti plates for irregular shapes and complex anatomical structures in a clinical context.

Abstract
New digital technologies are improving the accuracy of orthognathic surgery. One of the new approaches transfers the surgical plan into real surgery without using an occlusal splint. This pilot study aims to validate the splintless approach to orthognathic surgery on a series of cases. Five patients were enrolled. Surgeries were planned using a digital surgical simulation method thanks to three-dimensional images. The splintless surgical approach was planned for maxillary reposition. This consisted of cutting guides and three-dimensionally (3D) printed custom titanium plates. These two were created using the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technique and were used intraoperatively to guide the osteotomy and repositioning of the bony segments without the use of the surgical splint. The difference between the planned surgery and the real final position was analyzed thanks to superimposition techniques and landmark analysis. Statistical tests were performed to detect significant differences. No difference was found in any of the landmarks. Midline landmarks differed from the planned position by 0.34 mm. Higher variability was found in the posterior landmark. These findings suggest that a splintless approach is useful in transferring the surgical plan without using an occlusal splint.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the 1-year skeletal stability of the osteotomized maxilla after Le Fort I surgery, comparing conventional osteosynthesis with patient-specific osteosynthesis. Patients were assigned to a conventional or patient-specific osteosynthesis group using prospective randomization. The primary outcome was the three-dimensional change in postoperative skeletal position of the maxilla between the 2-week and 1-year follow-up cone beam computed tomography scans. Fifty-eight patients completed the protocol for the 2-week postoperative analysis, and 27 patients completed the 1-year follow-up study protocol. Of the 27 patients completing the entire protocol, 13 were in the conventional group and 14 in the patient-specific osteosynthesis group. The three-dimensional translation analysis showed that the use of the patient-specific osteosynthesis resulted in a skeletally stable result, comparable to that of conventional miniplate fixation. For both the patient-specific osteosynthesis and conventional miniplate fixation groups, median translations of less than 1 mm and median rotations of less than 1° were observed, indicating that both methods of fixation resulted in a stable result for the 27 patients examined. For the Le Fort I osteotomy, the choice between patient-specific osteosynthesis and conventional osteosynthesis did not affect the postoperative skeletal stability after 1 year of follow-up.

Accuracy of Segmented Le Fort I Osteotomy with Virtual Planning in Orthognathic Surgery Using Patient-Specific Implants: A Case Series. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195495. [PMID: 36233363 PMCID: PMC9572233 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: When maxillary transversal expansion is needed, two protocols of treatment can be used: a maxillary orthodontic expansion followed by a classical bimaxillary osteotomy or a bimaxillary osteotomy with maxillary segmentation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy using computer-aided orthognathic surgery and patient-specific titanium plates in patients who underwent a bimaxillary osteotomy for occlusal trouble with maxillary transversal insufficiencies. Methods: A virtual simulation of a Le Fort I osteotomy with maxillary segmentation, a sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and genioplasty (if needed) was conducted on a preoperative three-dimensional (3D) model of each patient’s skull using ProPlan CMF 3.0 software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Computer-assisted osteotomy saw-and-drill guides and patient-specific implants (PSIs, titanium plates) were produced and used during the surgery. We chose to focus on the maxillary repositioning accuracy by comparing the preoperative virtual surgical planning and the postoperative 3D outcome skulls using surface superimpositions and 13 standard dental and bone landmarks. Errors between these preoperative and postoperative landmarks were calculated and compared to discover if segmental maxillary repositioning using PSIs was accurate enough to be safely used to treat transversal insufficiencies. Results: A total of 22 consecutive patients—15 females and 7 males, with a mean age of 27.4 years—who underwent bimaxillary computer-assisted orthognathic surgery with maxillary segmentation were enrolled in the study. All patients presented with occlusion trouble, 13 with Class III malocclusions (59%) and 9 (41%) with Class II malocclusions. A quantitative analysis revealed that, overall, the mean absolute discrepancies for the x-axis (transversal dimension), y-axis (anterior−posterior dimensions), and z-axis (vertical dimension) were 0.59 mm, 0.74 mm, and 0.56 mm, respectively. The total error rate of maxillary repositioning was 0.62 mm between the postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the preoperatively planned 3D skull. According to the literature, precision in maxilla repositioning is defined by an error rate (clinically relevant) at each landmark of <2 mm and a total error of <2 mm for each patient. Conclusions: A high degree of accuracy between the virtual plan and the postoperative result was observed.

The Predictability of the Surgical Outcomes of Class III Patients in the Transverse Dimension—A Study of Three-Dimensional Assessment. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12071147.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the outcomes of planned maxillary surgical movements in the transverse direction in patients possessing a Class III skeletal pattern. The available consecutive patients’ records were retrospectively reviewed. Only those possessing a Class III skeletal pattern, and for whom the same virtual planning system was used, were enrolled. The waferless technique was used to guide the jawbone repositioning. A representative triangle in the virtual maxilla of each stage was used to validate the planned surgical movements (PSMs) and the outcome discrepancy (OD). The linear and angular measurements were retrieved for the assessments of the correlation between PSM and OD. In total, 44 adult patients who met the inclusion criteria were studied. The average linear OD of the A-point in the transverse direction was 0.66 ± 0.54 mm, and the yaw correction showed 1.02 ± 0.84 degrees in difference. There was no specific correlation between the linear PSMs and ODs; however, the angular ones were positively correlated. With the help of the waferless technique to transfer the virtual planning results, the practitioners could confidently predict the postsurgical maxillary position in the transverse direction in the orthognathic surgery of Class III patients. However, the yaw correction should be carefully planned to avoid postsurgical instabilities.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of maxilla positioning in orthognathic surgery with the use of custom-made devices (cutting guides and patient-fitted osteosynthesis plates) comparing to CAD/CAM splints. A prospective randomized study was performed. Patients with dentofacial deformities undergoing orthognathic surgery were compared, using customized guides (experimental group) vs. CAD/CAM surgical splints (control group) for the repositioning of the upper maxilla. Preoperative and postoperative CT scans were used to compare positioning and fixation of the maxilla in the three planes of space. A total of 30 patients were included in the study (15 patients in each study group). The mean error obtained with customized guides was 0.8 mm (range 0.1-1.9) in the anterior-posterior axis, 0.4 mm (range 0-1.4) in the vertical axis and 0.2 mm (range 0-1.1) in the horizontal axis. There were statistically significant differences in the anterior-posterior and vertical axes in favour of the customized implants, whereas there were no differences in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, there was a mean reduction of the operative time of 36.5 min in the experimental group. Within the limitations of the study it seems that patient specific surgical guides should be preferred when accuracy of repositioning of the maxilla and saving operative time are the priority.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment of midfacial fractures is always difficult. The purpose of this study was to verify whether optimized three-dimensional (3D) digital surgical guide plates combined with preformed titanium plates improved the treatment effect in complex midfacial fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with complex midfacial fractures were recruited and randomized into three groups: ten for Group A, eight for Group B, and eight for Group C. Group A was treated with a combination of preformed titanium plates and optimized 3D digital surgical guide plates. Group B was treated with preformed titanium plates only. Group C was treated conventionally. Clinical effects, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), midfacial contour, facial symmetry, surgical accuracy, △orbital volume (the absolute value of the bilateral orbital volume difference), and maximum deviation were evaluated in each of the three groups. RESULTS Group A had the best postoperative clinical effects and patient-reported outcomes. Significant improvements in midfacial contour (L1[0.72±0.29 mm, P = 0.001], L2[1.04±0.46 mm, P < 0.001]), facial symmetry (S1[0.71±0.30 mm, P < 0.001], S2[0.96±0.58 mm, P < 0.001], S3[0.86±0.40 mm, P < 0.001], S5[0.81±0.16 mm, P = 0.003], S8[0.95±0.30 mm, P < 0.001], S9[1.03±0.38 mm, P < 0.001], S11[0.64±0.46 mm, P < 0.001]) and surgical accuracy (M1[R, 0.82±0.31 mm, P < 0.001], M2[R, 0.87±0.44 mm, P < 0.001], M3[L, 0.88±0.22 mm, P = 0.004], M3[R, 1.06±0.31 mm, P = 0.003], M4[L, 0.96±0.45 mm, P = 0.008], M4[R, 1.11±0.57 mm, P = 0.003], M5[R, 0.76±0.26 mm, P < 0.001], M6[L, 1.00±0.46 mm, P = 0.003], M6[R, 1.00±0.58 mm, P = 0.001], M7[0.87±0.53 mm, P = 0.001], M8[R, 0.91±0.53 mm, P < 0.001], M9[R, 0.81±0.32 mm, P = 0.010], M10[R, 1.19±0.42 mm, P = 0.009], M11[L, 0.85±0.51 mm, P = 0.021], M11[R, 0.96±0.49 mm, P = 0.003]) were found in Group A compared with the other two groups. The results of △orbital volume and maximum deviation analysis showed an ideal surgical treatment effect in Group A. CONCLUSION Optimized 3D digital guide plates can accurately locate preformed titanium plates and effectively improve the treatment effect in complex midfacial fractures.

Abstract
Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, additive manufacturing and 3D printing stand out in their ability to rapidly fabricate complex structures and precise geometries. The growing need for products with different designs, purposes and materials led to the development of 3D printing, serving as a driving force for the 4th industrial revolution and digitization of manufacturing. 3D printing has had a global impact on healthcare, with patient-customized implants now replacing generic implantable medical devices. This revolution has had a particularly significant impact on oral and maxillofacial surgery, where surgeons rely on precision medicine in everyday practice. Trauma, orthognathic surgery and total joint replacement therapy represent several examples of treatments improved by 3D technologies. The widespread and rapid implementation of 3D technologies in clinical settings has led to the development of point-of-care treatment facilities with in-house infrastructure, enabling surgical teams to participate in the 3D design and manufacturing of devices. 3D technologies have had a tremendous impact on clinical outcomes and on the way clinicians approach treatment planning. The current review offers our perspective on the implementation of 3D-based technologies in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, while indicating major clinical applications. Moreover, the current report outlines the 3D printing point-of-care concept in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract
Virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery using patient-specific implants (PSI) is usually waferless nowadays. However, without an occlusal wafer, difficulties arise in controlling the accuracy of multi-segment maxillary osteotomies, especially for expansion and rotational movements of each segment. It is technically challenging intraoperatively to manipulate multiple segments to fit into the PSI, as the relatively small bone segments need to be secured into the PSI while simultaneously achieving individual segment movements in all planes and with potential bony interferences with each other. Therefore, the use of a maxillary tooth-supported surgical guide is proposed and described. When the guide is inserted before the PSI, it overcomes difficulties in handling multiple maxillary segments and facilitates achieving maximal positional precision of each individual bone segment. The guide enables multiple smaller segments to behave as one unit with the designated occlusion whilst visualizing bony interferences before PSI plating is commenced. Adding a tooth-borne surgical guide in the form of a wafer and a customized arch bar is a cost-effective method to enhance accuracy in virtually planned multi-segment maxillary surgery. Further investigations are required to validate the accuracy and advantages of using wafers and PSI in multi-segment maxillary and mandibular orthognathic surgeries.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of implementing three‐dimensional virtual surgical planning (VSP) and subsequent transfer by additive manufactured tools in the secondary reconstruction of residual post‐traumatic deformities in the midface. Methods Patients after secondary reconstruction of post‐traumatic midfacial deformities were included in this case series. The metrical deviation between the virtually planned and postoperative position of patient‐specific implants (PSI) and bone segments was measured at corresponding reference points. Further information collected included demographic data, post‐traumatic symptoms, and type of transfer tools. Results Eight consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. In five patients, VSP with subsequent manufacturing of combined predrilling/osteotomy guides and PSI was performed. In three patients, osteotomy guides, repositioning guides, and individually prebent plates were used following VSP. The median distances between the virtually planned and the postoperative position of the PSI were 2.01 mm (n = 18) compared to a median distance concerning the bone segments of 3.05 mm (n = 12). In patients where PSI were used, the median displacement of the bone segments was lower (n = 7, median 2.77 mm) than in the group with prebent plates (n = 5, 3.28 mm). Conclusion This study demonstrated the feasibility of VSP and transfer by additive manufactured tools for the secondary reconstruction of complex residual post‐traumatic deformities in the midface. However, the median deviations observed in this case series were unexpectedly high. The use of navigational systems may further improve the level of accuracy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the surgical accuracy of positioning the maxilla in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-assisted orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The samples consisted of 10 patients with skeletal class II malocclusion, whose cone-beam computed tomographys taken before and immediately after surgery were available and who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery by a single surgeon using Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Seoul, South Korea between January 2018 and December 2019. After virtual surgical planning was performed using the FACEGIDE system (Korea), surgical cutting guides, intermediate splints, and custom-made titanium mini-plates were fabricated using CAD/CAM technique. Using 8 landmarks (anterior nasal spine, point A, #16, #13, contact point between #11 and #21, #23, #26, posterior nasal spine), the mean differences between the virtually planned (Virtual) and actual postsurgical position of the maxilla (Actual) in the three-dimensional coordinates (ΔActual-Virtual) and their mean absolute deviations were investigated. RESULTS The mean differences of 8 landmarks were 0.42 mm left side movement in the transverse coordinate, 0.15 mm forward movement in the sagittal coordinate and 0.10 mm downward movement in the vertical coordinate. Their mean absolute deviations were 0.98, 0.67, and 0.62 mm in the sagittal, vertical, and transverse coordinates, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Since the mean difference was less than 0.5 mm and the range of error was less than 1.0 mm, CAD/CAM-assisted orthognathic surgery might have a high degree of surgical accuracy and clinical relevance in the positioning of the maxilla.
