임플란트 시술에서 CAD/CAM을 포함한 컴퓨터 기술의 발달은 단순히 임플란트를 보다 정확하고, 예측 가능하게 식립하는 것뿐 아니라, 무피판(flapless) 수술과 즉시하중을 가능하게 하였다. 그러므로 술후 출혈과 불편감의 감소 및 시술시간과 치유기간을 단축시키는 장점이 있으며, 시술 후 즉시 보철물을 장착해 줌으로써 환자의 구강기능을 단기간에 회복시키고 경조직과 연조직의 형태를 보존하여 최종보철 시 유리한 환경을 만들어 줄 수 있게 되었다. 본 증례는 상 하악 무치악 상태로 내원한 40세 남성 환자로 하악 총의치의 불안정성 및 불편감 등을 호소하였으며, 하악에 임플란트 지지 고정성 보철물을 통한 수복을 원하였다. 충분한 골량, 환자의 참여도, 경제적인 여건, 전신적인 건강 등을 고려하여 하악에는 CAD/CAM 기반의 수술용 스텐트를 이용한 수술 및 미리 제작된 고정성 임시보철물을 이용하여 즉시하중을 부여하는NobelGuide 보철을 계획하였으며, 상악에는 총의치를 계획하였다. 환자의 안모를 평가하여 임시의치를 제작하였으며, 복제한 임시의치를 바탕으로 스텐트를 제작하고, 컴퓨터단층촬영을 시행하였다. 3차원으로 변환된 영상을 기반으로 하악에 7개의 고정체를 생역학적 조건과 치조골의 상태에 맞게 분산 배치하였다. 제작된 수술용 스텐트에 맞게 주모형을 제작하고, 임시고정성 보철물을 제작하여 장착함으로써 즉시하중을 부여하였다. 식립 3개월 후 골유착 정도를 평가하고 최종보철물을 제작하였다. 추후 발생할 수 있는 상악 골흡수를 방지하기 위해 주기적인 내원 및 검사를 통해 성공적인 치료가 될 수 있도록 노력하였다.

The osseous or osteocutaneous free fibula flap has become the gold standard for most mandibular reconstructions because of its favorable osseous characteristics. However, disadvantages, such as the time-consuming reconstructive step, difficulty in performing the osteotomies to precisely recreate the shape of the missing segment of mandible and poor bone-to-bone contact play a role in making the surgeons look for alternative flaps. With the advent of computerized design software, which accurately plans complex 3-dimensional reconstructions, has become a process that is more efficient and precise. However, the ability to transfer the computerized plan into the surgical field with stereolithographic models and guides has been a significant development in advancing reconstruction in the maxillofacial regions. The ability to "pre-plan" the case, mirror and superimpose natural structures into diseased and deformed areas, as well as the ability to reproduce these plans with good surgical precision has decreased overall operative time, and has helped facilitate functional and esthetic reconstruction. We describe a complex case treated with this technique, showing the power and elegance of computer assisted maxillofacial reconstruction from the University of Michigan, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

In image-guided surgery, automatic bone segmentation of Computed Tomography (CT) images is an important but challenging step. Previous attempts include intensity-, edge-, region-, and deformable curve-based approaches [1], but none claims fully satisfactory performance. Although active contour (AC) techniques possess many excellent characteristics, their applications in CT image segmentation have not worthily exploited yet. In this study, we have evaluated the automaticity and performance of the model of Chan-Vese Multiphase AC Without Edges towards knee bone segmentation from CT images. This model is suitable because it is initialization-insensitive and topology-adaptive. Its segmentation results have been qualitatively compared with those from four other widely used AC models: namely Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) AC, Geometric AC, Geodesic AC, and GVF Fast Geometric AC. To quantitatively evaluate its performance, the results from a commercial software and a medical expert have been used. The evaluation results show that the Chan-Vese model provides superior performance with least user interaction, proving its suitability for automatic bone segmentation from CT images.

Accuracy and reproducibility of coordinates, angles/areas and volume measurements are the mai goal of imaging-guided stereotactic systems. Errors in measurements are due to pitfalls in a present systems. Factors responsible for inaccuracy and variability on measurements are inappropriate display window settings, unequal spatial resolution, display/film distortion, inappropriate slice width, lack of isocentricity between gantry and frame, and nonparallelism between frame and scanning plan. The most important factor responsible for errors when using stereotactic frames is the nonparallel relationship to the plane of scanning. For the solution of above problem, author developed a computer program for the measurement of the coordinates of intracerebral target, which is operated using the personal computer. This program can calculate the actual spatial coordinates regardless of the inappropriate parallelism between frame and scanning plane and decrease the range of errors of measurements.

With the advancement of information technology, the application of augmented reality (AR) in dentistry is an emerging research field of image-guided surgery and dental education. In addition, the digital approach to incorporating AR in dental practice management is considered to be feasible. A prototype is developed to apply AR to dental daily clinical practice in order to help dentists to access electronic dental records. This prototype delivers patients' information and related clinical data to dental clinicians directly without the need to search for the appropriate patients. Wearable AR devices are considered to be a convenient tool for practicing dentists because dental practitioners are not always able to use a computer during active clinical sessions, such as implant placement, root canal treatment, and patient-doctor communication. The use of AR to visualize passive transferred patient data would be valuable for practicing dentists.

Long-term survival and prognosis of narrow-diameter implants have been reported to be adequate to consider them a safe method for treating a deficient alveolar ridge. The objective of this study was to perform case report of narrow-diameter implants with a trapezoid-shape in anterior teeth alveolar bone. A 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of all of the maxillary teeth and mandibular incisors. Due to destruction of alveolar bone, four anterior mandibular teeth were extracted. Soft tissue healing was allowed for approximately 3 months after the extraction, and a new design of implant placement was planned for the mandibular incisor area, followed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Implant placement was determined using an R2GATE surgical stent. The stability of the implants was assessed by ISQ measurements at the first and second implant surgery and after prosthetic placement. At 1 and 3 months and 1 year after implantation of the prosthesis, clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Another 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of the mandibular central incisors. For the same reason as in the first patient, implant placement was carried out in the same way after extraction. ISQ measurements and clinical and radiological examinations were performed as in the previous case. In these two clinical cases, 12 months of follow-up revealed that the implant remained stable without inflammation or additional bone loss, and there was no discomfort to the patient. In conclusion, computer-guided implant surgery was used to place an implant in an optimal position considering the upper prosthesis. A new design of a narrow-diameter implant with a trapezoid-shape into anterior mandibular alveolar bone is a less invasive treatment method and is based on the contour of the deficient alveolar ridge. Through all of these procedures, we were able to reduce the number of traumas during surgery, reduce the operation time and total treatment period, and provide patients with more comfortable treatment.

Purpose: This study investigated the accuracy of free-hand implant surgery performed by an experienced operator compared to static guided implant surgery performed by an inexperienced operator on an anterior maxillary dental model arch. Methods: A maxillary dental model with missing teeth (No. 11, 22, and 23) was used for this in vitro study. An intraoral scan was performed on the model, with the resulting digital impression exported as a stereolithography file. Next, a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan was performed, with the resulting image exported as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine file. Both files were imported into the RealGUIDE 5.0 dental implant planning software. Active Bio implants were selected to place into the model. A single stereolithographic 3-dimensional surgical guide was printed for all cases. Ten clinicians, divided into 2 groups, placed a total of 60 implants in 20 acrylic resin maxillary models. Due to the small sample size, the Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze mean values in the 2 groups. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4. Results: The accuracy of implant placement using a surgical guide was significantly higher than that of free-hand implantation. The mean difference between the planned and actual implant positions at the apex was 0.68 mm for the experienced group using the free-hand technique and 0.14 mm for the non-experienced group using the surgical guide technique (P=0.019). At the top of the implant, the mean difference was 1.04 mm for the experienced group using the free-hand technique and 0.52 mm for the non-experienced group using the surgical guide technique (P=0.044). Conclusions: The data from this study will provide valuable insights for future studies, since in vitro studies should be conducted extensively in advance of retrospective or prospective studies to avoid burdening patients unnecessarily.
