Objectives: This study, investigated the satisfaction of patients who received the procedure using an implant guide to identify factors affecting satisfaction in dental hospitals and clinics in Jeollanam-do. Methods: From December 2021 to February 2022, questionnaires randomly were collected from 128 patients aged 20 to 90 years visiting dental hospitals and clinics using surgical guides in some areas of Jeollanam-do. Results: There was a negative correlation between the overall satisfaction average and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain level (r=-0.414, p<0.001), and a negative correlation between VAS pain level and VAS satisfaction (r=-0.273, p<0.05), As subjective pain decreased, subjective satisfaction increased, and as subjective pain increased, the overall satisfaction average also decreased, showing an inverse correlation. Factors affecting satisfaction with the guide for implant surgery were whether you would like to recommend it to people around you (β=0.556), whether you would like to explain the guide (β=0.194), and whether you thought it was good to receive the guide (β=0.199). Conclusions: Therefore, in order to increase the satisfaction of the implant surgical guide procedure, it is considered important to perform a sufficient explanation of the implant surgical guide before the procedure.

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.

Objectives: The surgical guide is a static computer-assisted device used for implant surgery planning and guidance. By taking an impression and referring to the patients' three-dimensional computed tomography scan of the desired implant site, a surgical guide can be created. During surgery, the surgical guide aids in achieving the designed implant placement position and direction. We examined and evaluated the long-term clinical outcomes of implant surgery using surgical guides. Materials and Methods: This study investigated a total of 15 patients with 32 implants that were placed using surgical guides from 2009 to 2011 with a mean follow-up period extended beyond 10 years. Patient demographics and implant survival rates were recorded. We analyzed marginal bone loss (MBL) by assessing the radiographs acquired at installation, three months after installation, and one month, one, two, and five years after prosthesis delivery. Results: The mean patient age was 57.33 years at implant placement. Of the 32 implants, five implants were placed in the anterior region and 27 implants were in the posterior region. Six implants failed and three of them were replaced, resulting in an 81.25% survival rate. The mean follow-up period was 10 years and nine months. Mean MBL compared to post-installation was significantly higher than at three months after installation, and one month, one, two, and five years after prosthesis delivery. Mean MBL at three months after installation, and one month, one year, and two years were significantly higher compared to the previous visit (P<0.05). However, MBL at five years after prosthesis delivery did not differ significantly compared to at two years. Conclusion: In this study, implant rehabilitation assisted by surgical guides exhibited favorable survival rates. With the limitation of the sample amount in this study, further research and more samples are required to evaluate the long-term clinical effectiveness of surgical guides.

디지털 방법을 사용한 무치악의 임플란트 치료계획은 surgical guide design으로 구체화된다. Surgical guide를 제작할 때, 우리는 먼저 최종 보철의 형태를 가상공간에 구현한 후 이를 바탕으로 식립 계획을 구체화하게 된다. 그러나 완전무치악 환자는 치아배열의 기준이 없고 악간관계가 정립되어 있지 않아 최종 보철의 형태를 짐작하기 어려워 surgical guide를 만드는 데 어려움이 있다. 이때 기존의 만족스러운 총의치나 부분의치, 잔존치 등이 존재한다면 그 치아배열이 가상적인 최종 보철의 reference가 될 수 있다. 만약 이러한 reference가 부재하거나 만족스럽지 못하다면, 진단용 목적으로 총의치를 제작하되 이를 구내에서 검증하는 과정이 필요하다. 이러한 과정을 통해 surgical guide를 제작할지라도 구내 상황에 따라 implant의 위치가 계획한 것과 다르게 식립될 수 있으며, 만약 guide의 positioning이 잘못된다면 그 오차는 모든 implant의 위치를 변위시킬 수 있으므로 guide 수술이 오히려 재앙으로 다가올 수 있다. 본 기고에서는 치아 배열의 reference가 될 수 있는 자료들을 적절한 시기에 채득하여 이를 디지털 공간에 이전 및 통일된 좌표계로 정렬하는 방법에 대해 논의하고, 또한 이렇게 수립된 식립계획을 현실의 구강에 적은 오차로 이전 및 정렬하는 방법에 대해 소개하여 일관적이고 체계적인 무치악 가이드 디자인의 프로토콜 정립에 대해 의견 개진하려 한다.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the reliability of the chair-side CAD-CAM surgical guide (CSG) in the anterior maxilla by comparing its accuracy with the laboratory 3D-printed surgical guide (3DSG) and manual surgical guide (MSG) concerning different levels of dentists' surgical experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten surgical guides of each type (MSG, 3DSG, and CSG) were fabricated on a control study model with missing right and left central incisors. Sixty implants were placed in 30 study models by two dentists (one inexperienced and one experienced) using three different types of surgical guides. Horizontal deviations at shoulder and at apex, vertical, and angular deviations were measured after superimposing the planned and placed implant positions in the software. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the accuracy of three types of surgical guides in each dentist group and the accuracy of each surgical guide between two dentists (α = .05). RESULTS. There were no significant differences in any deviations between CSG and 3DSG, apart from angular deviation, for both dentists' groups. Moreover, both CSG and 3DSG showed no significant differences in accuracy between the two dentists (P > .05). In contrast, MSG demonstrated significant differences from CSG and 3DSG and a significant difference in accuracy between the two dentists (P < .05). CONCLUSION. CSG provides superior accuracy to MSG in implant placement in the maxillary anterior region and is comparable to 3DSG at different levels of surgical experience, while offering the benefits of shorter manufacturing time and reduced patient visits.

Surgeon dentists usually rely on their experiential judgments from patients' oral plaster casts and medical images to determine the positional and directional information of implant fixtures and to perform drilling tasks during dental implant surgical operations. This approach, however, may cause some errors and deteriorate the quality of dental implants. Computer-aided methods have been introduced as supportive tools to alleviate the shortcomings of the conventional approach. In this paper, we present an approach of 3D dental implant simulation which can provide the realistic and immersive experience of dental implant information. The dental implant information is primarily composed of several kinds of 3D mesh models obtained as follows. Firstly, we construct 3D mesh models of jawbones, teeth and nerve curves from the patient's dental images using software $Mimics^{TM}$. Secondly, we construct 3D mesh models of gingival regions from the patient's oral impression using a reverse engineering technique. Thirdly, we select suitable types of implant fixtures from fixture database and determine the positions and directions of the fixtures by using the 3D mesh models and the dental images with software $Simplant^{TM}$. Fourthly, from the geometric and/or directional information of the jawbones, the gingival regions, the teeth and the fixtures, we construct the 3D models of surgical guide stents which are crucial to perform the drilling operations with ease and accuracy. In the application phase, the dental implant information is combined with the tangible interface device to accomplish 3D dental implant simulation. The user can see and touch the 3D models related with dental implant surgery. Furthermore, the user can experience drilling paths to make holes where fixtures are implanted. A preliminary user study shows that the presented approach can be used to provide dental students with good educational contents. With future work, we expect that it can be utilized for clinical studies of dental implant surgery.
