BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:550. [PMID: 38734597 PMCID: PMC11088151 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04329-z] [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: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large cross-arch free-end surgical guides can obscure the visual field, compromising surgical accuracy due to insufficient stability at the free-end. This in vitro study aims to evaluate the accuracy of novel digital non-cross-arch surgical guides designed for implant placement at the mandibular free-end, incorporating tooth undercut retention and screw-bone support. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mandibular dental model lacking left molars was utilized to fabricate unilateral (cross-arch) tooth-supported surgical guides (GT I, n = 20). Subsequently, two additional types of surgical guides were fabricated: GT II (covering two teeth, n = 20) and GT III (covering three teeth, n = 20). These novel surgical guides were designed to utilize the undercut of the supporting teeth for retention and enhance stability with screw-bone support at the guide's free-end. Furthermore, 60 identical guiding blocks were assembled on the three types of surgical guides to facilitate the implants' insertion. On a phantom head, 120 implant replicas were placed at the Federal Dentaire Internationale (FDI) teeth positions #36 and #37 on the dental model, employing a combination of surgical guides and guiding blocks. To assess accuracy, planned and placed implant positions were compared using intraoral optical scanning. Discrepancies in angulation and linear deviations, including the coronal/apical 3D deviations, lateral deviation as well as depth deviation, were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test (α = 0.05). RESULTS GT I exhibited significantly largest discrepancies, including angular and linear deviations at the crest and apex at every implant site. Especially in depth, at implant site #36, the mean deviation value of GT I (0.27 ± 0.13 mm) was twice as large as GT III (0.13 ± 0.07 mm), and almost twice as large as GT II (0.14 ± 0.08 mm). However, at implant site #37, this deviation increased to almost a five-fold relationship between GT I (0.63 ± 0.12 mm) and II (0.14 ± 0.09 mm), as well as between GT I and III (0.13 ± 0.09 mm). No significant discrepancies existed between the novel surgical guides at either implant site #36 or #37. CONCLUSION This study provides a practical protocol for enhancing accuracy of implant placement and reducing the size of free-end surgical guides used at mandibular molar sites.

Effects of supporting conditions and anchor microscrew on the stabilization of the implant guide template during the drilling process: An in vitro study. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 124:727.e1-727.e8. [PMID: 33160620 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2019] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Implant placement errors have been reported in guided surgeries because of movement of the guide template during implant placement. With a completely limiting guide design with high restrictions, guide template stabilization is essential to minimize mobility during the drilling process. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of supporting conditions and the use of an anchor microscrew on the seating and functional stabilization of a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) implant surgical guide with a completely limiting design. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve implant surgical guide templates were fabricated under different supporting conditions: tooth-mucosa, tooth-tooth, tooth-screw, and screw-screw (n=3 per group). In the tooth-screw and screw-screw groups, anchor microscrews and anchor caps were used to fix the guide templates. The seating stability of the templates was evaluated by using a micromovement assessment. The functional stability of the templates was analyzed during the drilling process by using a motion tracking method. One-way analysis of variance and the Tukey HSD post hoc test were conducted to compare the differences among the groups (α=.05). RESULTS The tooth-tooth, tooth-screw, and screw-screw groups exhibited similar seating stability, which was significantly more stable than that of the tooth-mucosa group (P<.001). In terms of functional stability, the tooth-mucosa group reported the highest positional deviation and motion magnitude, whereas low values were found in the tooth-screw and screw-screw groups (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The use of anchor microscrews can increase the seating and functional stability of CAD-CAM guide templates during the drilling process for implant placement.

Impact of Matching Point Selections on Image Registration Accuracy between Optical Scan and Computed Tomography. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:3285431. [PMID: 32802841 PMCID: PMC7426779 DOI: 10.1155/2020/3285431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The point-based surface registration method involves the manual selection process of paired matching points on the data of computed tomography and optical scan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of selection error and distribution of fiducial points on the accuracy of image matching between 3-dimensional (3D) images in dental planning software programs. Computed tomography and optical scan images of a partial edentulous dental arch were obtained. Image registration of the optical scan image to computed tomography was performed using the point-based surface registration method in planning software programs under different conditions of 3 fiducial points: point selection error (0, 1, or 2 mm), point distribution (unilateral, bilateral), and planning software (Implant Studio, Blue Bio Plan) (n = 5 per condition, N = 60). The accuracy of image registration at each condition was evaluated by measuring linear discrepancies between matched images at X, Y, and Z axes. Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction, and 3-way analysis of variance were used to statistically analyse the measurement data (α = 0.05). No statistically significant difference was exhibited between the 0 and 1 mm point mismatch conditions in either unilateral or bilateral point distributions. The discrepancy values in the 2 mm mismatch condition were significantly different from the other mismatch conditions, especially in the unilateral point distribution (P < 0.05). Strong interactions among point selection error, distribution, and software programs on the image registration were found (P < 0.001). Minor matching point selection error did not influence the accuracy of point-based automatic image registration in the software programs. When the fiducial points are distributed unilaterally with large point selection error, the image matching accuracy could be decreased.

Abstract
A method is described for minimizing errors in positioning a surgical template during the insertion of implants immediately after extraction and the placement of interim prostheses with immediate loading. The technique, called sequential template immediate loading (STIL), uses modular templates to fix pins before extracting the teeth, thus giving a reliable position for the subsequent templates for inserting the implant and placing the interim prosthesis.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17124453. [PMID: 32575839 PMCID: PMC7345541 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17124453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Repeatability and precision are major factors which have an influence on final implant treatment results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of freehand implant procedures assisted with special plastic sleeves which are placed on the drill to guarantee the proper mesiodistal distance from the landmark's surface. Patient data required for implant treatment, including images of mandibles from CBCT scans and virtual models of soft tissues and teeth, were used to prepare complete virtual models of patient clinical conditions. The models were saved as STL files and 3D printed in five copies. Drilling procedures were done at positions 37, 46 and 47. Each model was scanned with pins in the osteotomies and compared using digital aligning of the models' surfaces. The average deviation was -1.38 ± 1.4 mm. Average deviations on guide pins placed at position 37 were -0.46 ± 0.59 mm, at position 46 were -1.46 ± 0.88 mm (landmark's surface of both: distal tooth's surface), and at position 47 were the highest: -2.69 ± 1.62 mm (landmark's surface: surface of plastic sleeve). The following conclusion was drawn: Using universal plastic sleeves could improve implant procedure precision especially in the case of partially edentulous patients.

Son K, Huang MY, Lee KB. A method to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement without postoperative radiography after computer-guided implant surgery: A dental technique. J Prosthet Dent 2019; 123:661-666. [PMID: 31383521 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2019.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This technique allows evaluation of the accuracy of a dental implant's position after computer-guided surgery without postoperative radiography. Once the scanned implant and scan body file were prepared, the position of the placed implant was verified by using a computer-guided implant software program instead of radiography, thus reducing radiation exposure.
