J Dent 2024; 146:105061. [PMID: 38729289 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105061] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
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.

Feasibility of 3 Tesla MRI for the assessment of mid-palatal suture maturation: a retrospective pilot study. Odontology 2024:10.1007/s10266-024-00950-0. [PMID: 38758257 DOI: 10.1007/s10266-024-00950-0] [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: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
The maxilla occupies a key position in dentofacial orthopaedics, since its transversal development can be directly influenced by orthodontic therapy. The maturation stages of the mid-palatal suture, which are obtained from cone-beam computed tomography images (CBCT), present an addition to clinical decision-making in transversal discrepancies of the upper jaw. In an endeavour to reduce ionizing radiation in adolescents and young adults, who are particularly susceptible to long term stochastic irradiation effects, we investigated the feasibility of 3 Tesla (3T) MRI in detecting the maturation stages of the mid-palatal suture. A collective of 30 patients aged 24-93 years with routine neck MRI at 3T, underwent an additional three-dimensional isotropic T1 weighted study sequence of the midface. Image evaluation was performed on axial, multi-planar formatted reconstructions of the dataset aligned to the midline axis of the palate, and curved reconstructions aligned to the concavity of the palate. Inverted images helped to achieve an image impression similar to the well-known CBCT appearance. All datasets were reviewed by three readers and mid-palatal maturation was scored twice according to Angelieri et al. Intra- and inter-rater agreement were evaluated to measure the robustness of the images for clinical evaluation. 3T MRI deemed reliable for the assessment of mid-palatal suture maturation and hence for the appraisal of the hard palate and its adjacent sutures. The data of this pilot study display the feasibility of non-ionizing cross-sectional MRI for the determination of sutural maturation stages. These findings underline the potential of MRI for orthodontic treatment planning, further contributing to the avoidance of unnecessary radiation doses.

Abstract
AIM This paper provides a comprehensive review of the established concepts and newer developments related to computer-assisted implant rehabilitation. METHODS Two independent researchers searched the English literature published to 31st December 2023 in the PubMed/Medline database for primary and secondary research and related publications on computer-assisted implant planning, computer-assisted implant placement and computer-assisted implant restoration. RESULTS A total of 58,923 papers were identified, 198 relevant papers were read in full text and 110 studies were finally included. Computer-assisted implant rehabilitation was found to result in more precise implant positioning than freehand placement. Advantages include reduced trauma and surgery time; disadvantages include reduced primary implant stability and higher cost. CONCLUSION Computer-assisted surgery is particularly indicated in cases of critical anatomy, but may encounter limitations in terms of cost, restricted mouth opening, visibility and adjustment of the surgical guides and the need for prior familiarisation with the procedure. Nonetheless, this surgical technique reduces the post-implant placement complication rate.

Lee YC, Kim SG. Redefining precision and efficiency in orthognathic surgery through virtual surgical planning and 3D printing: a narrative review. Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2023; 45:42. [PMID: 38108939 PMCID: PMC10728393 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-023-00409-2] [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: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Orthognathic surgery, essential for addressing jaw and facial skeletal irregularities, has historically relied on traditional surgical planning (TSP) involving a series of time-consuming steps including two-dimensional radiographs. The advent of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printing technologies has revolutionized this field, bringing unprecedented precision and customization to surgical processes. VSP facilitates 3D visualization of the surgical site, allowing for real-time adjustments and improving preoperative stress for patients by reducing planning time. 3D printing dovetails with VSP, offering the creation of anatomical models and surgical guides, enhancing the predictability of surgical outcomes despite higher initial setup and material costs. The integration of VSP and 3D printing promises innovative and effective solutions in orthognathic surgery, surpassing the limitations of traditional methods. Patient-reported outcomes show a positive post-surgery impact on the quality of life, underlining the significant role of these technologies in enhancing self-esteem and reducing anxiety. Economic analyses depict a promising long-term fiscal advantage with these modern technologies, notwithstanding the higher initial costs. The review emphasizes the need for large-scale randomized controlled trials to address existing research gaps and calls for a deeper exploration into the long-term impacts and ethical considerations of these technologies. In conclusion, while standing on the cusp of a technological renaissance in orthognathic surgery, it is incumbent upon the medical fraternity to foster a collaborative approach, balancing innovation with scrutiny to enhance patient care. The narrative review encourages the leveraging of VSP and 3D printing technologies for more efficient and patient-centric orthognathic surgery, urging the community to navigate uncharted territories in pursuit of precision and efficiency in the surgical landscape.

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2023; 136:673-680. [PMID: 37612163 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.05.011] [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: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Using computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and patient-specific plates (PSP) in orthognathic surgery has shown improved accuracy and efficiency compared with traditional techniques. This study analyzed current global trends in planning and investigated the reasons for CAS and PSP use. STUDY DESIGN A survey of 29 multiple choice questions was distributed to AO Foundation Craniomaxillofacial e-mail subscribers biweekly between July 14, 2021 and September 2, 2021. Questions focused on specifics of respondents' preoperative workup, methods of data collection, and the use of cutting guides and patient-specific plates. Objective clinical outcomes and subjective surgeon reasons for use were also investigated. RESULTS Of the 557 responses, 420 (75.4%) participant responses were eligible for analyses. Most (302/420, 71.9%) respondents used CAS when performing orthognathic surgery, although regional differences were observed. Almost all respondents in North America implemented CAS in their surgery plan (44/46, 95.7%) compared with only 47.4% (18/38) in the Middle East/North Africa. Surgeons with 10 to 15 years of experience were far more likely to incorporate CAS. More than half (175/301, 58.1%) of CAS users also used PSP, of which 43% (68/158) did so for maxillary-only cases, 3.2% (5/158) used PSP for mandible-only surgeries, and 42.4% (67/158) used PSP for both. Surgeons' primary reasons for using CAS and PSP were accuracy (200/253, 79.1%), efficiency (196/253, 77.5%), and ease of preoperative planning (150/253, 59.3%). Most (77.9%) surgeons perceived that CAS was equal to or faster than traditional surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows differences in use regionally and with surgeon experience. Surgeons primarily use CAS and PSP in orthognathic surgery to increase accuracy and efficiency, minimize intraoperative deviations from the surgical plan, and reduce total surgical time.

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies play a significant role and significantly impact various sectors, including healthcare, engineering, sciences, and smart cities. AI has the potential to improve the quality of patient care and treatment outcomes while minimizing the risk of human error. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the dental industry, just like it is revolutionizing other sectors. It is used in dentistry to diagnose dental diseases and provide treatment recommendations. Dental professionals are increasingly relying on AI technology to assist in diagnosis, clinical decision-making, treatment planning, and prognosis prediction across ten dental specialties. One of the most significant advantages of AI in dentistry is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, providing dental professionals with valuable insights to enhance their decision-making processes. The purpose of this paper is to identify the advancement of artificial intelligence algorithms that have been frequently used in dentistry and assess how well they perform in terms of diagnosis, clinical decision-making, treatment, and prognosis prediction in ten dental specialties; dental public health, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral medicine and pathology, oral & maxillofacial radiology, orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, and digital dentistry in general. We will also show the pros and cons of using AI in all dental specialties in different ways. Finally, we will present the limitations of using AI in dentistry, which made it incapable of replacing dental personnel, and dentists, who should consider AI a complimentary benefit and not a threat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal malocclusion patients have facial malformations and occlusal dysfunctions that require orthodontic-orthognathic joint treatment, while the combination treatment takes time and requires close communication between surgeons and orthodontists. Thus, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the combination treatment is necessary, and it is still a challenge. Now, digital technology provides us with an excellent alternative. Despite the widespread use of digital technology in orthognathic surgery simulation and clear aligner orthodontic therapy, it has not been fully integrated into the combined orthognathic and orthodontic treatment process, and the components remain independent. METHODS A fully digital approach to seamlessly integrating various parts of the combined treatment through digital technology was investigated in this study in order to achieve an efficient transition. Five patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion were enrolled, and all made fully digital treatment plans at the beginning of actual implementation, which included the design of pre-surgical orthodontic, orthognathic surgery, and post-surgical orthodontic. Then, every aspect of the clinical operation was carried out in accordance with the fully digital routine. After the entire treatment process was completed, the skeleton and dentition discrepancy between virtual planning and the actual result was evaluated. RESULTS All participants completed the fully digital treatment process, and no complication was observed. The linear deviation of the skeletal anatomy was less than 1 mm, and the angular deviation was less than 1 degree. Except in one case in the lower dentition, the deviation of the virtual dental design from the real alignment was less than 2 mm. Furthermore, with one exception of maxillary anterior-posterior dimension, the linear deviations of the skeleton were not statistically significant. Therefore, the simulation accuracy of the fully digital approach was clinically acceptable. CONCLUSIONS The digital treatment approach is clinically feasible and has achieved satisfactory results. The discrepancy between virtual design of the entire digital process and actual post-treatment situation was acceptable in clinic. A fully digital approach was proved effective in the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion, with which the efficient transition of treatment procedures was realized.

Artificial Intelligence Splint in Orthognathic Surgery for Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: Design and Application. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:698-703. [PMID: 36728461 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000009162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital splints are indispensable in orthognathic surgery. However, the present design process of splints is time-consuming and has low reproducibility. To solve these problems, an algorithm for artificial intelligent splints has been developed in this study, making the automatic design of splints accessible. METHODS Firstly, the algorithm and program of the artificial intelligence splint were created. Then a total of 54 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion were included in this study from 2018 to 2020. Pre and postoperative radiographic examinations were performed. The cephalometric measurements were recorded and the difference between virtual simulation and postoperative images was measured. The time cost and differences between artificial intelligent splints and digital splints were analyzed through both model surgery and radiographic images. RESULTS The results showed that the efficiency of designing splints is significantly improved. And the mean difference between artificial intelligent splints and digital splints was <0.15 mm in model surgery. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference between the artificial intelligent splints and digital splints in radiological image analysis. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, compared with digital splints, artificial intelligent splints could save time for preoperative design while ensuring accuracy. The authors believed that it is conducive to the presurgical design of orthognathic surgery.

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.

[PMID: 36611402 PMCID: PMC9818323 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13010110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
The increasing use of computed tomography (CT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in oral and maxillofacial imaging has driven the development of deep learning and radiomics applications to assist clinicians in early diagnosis, accurate prognosis prediction, and efficient treatment planning of maxillofacial diseases. This narrative review aimed to provide an up-to-date overview of the current applications of deep learning and radiomics on CT and CBCT for the diagnosis and management of maxillofacial diseases. Based on current evidence, a wide range of deep learning models on CT/CBCT images have been developed for automatic diagnosis, segmentation, and classification of jaw cysts and tumors, cervical lymph node metastasis, salivary gland diseases, temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders, maxillary sinus pathologies, mandibular fractures, and dentomaxillofacial deformities, while CT-/CBCT-derived radiomics applications mainly focused on occult lymph node metastasis in patients with oral cancer, malignant salivary gland tumors, and TMJ osteoarthritis. Most of these models showed high performance, and some of them even outperformed human experts. The models with performance on par with human experts have the potential to serve as clinically practicable tools to achieve the earliest possible diagnosis and treatment, leading to a more precise and personalized approach for the management of maxillofacial diseases. Challenges and issues, including the lack of the generalizability and explainability of deep learning models and the uncertainty in the reproducibility and stability of radiomic features, should be overcome to gain the trust of patients, providers, and healthcare organizers for daily clinical use of these models.
