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.

Background: Preoperative traditional software planning (TSP) is a method used to assist surgeons with implant selection and glenoid guide-pin insertion in shoulder arthroplasty. Mixed reality (MR) is a new technology that uses digital holograms of the preoperative plan and guide-pin trajectory projected into the operative field. The purpose of this study was to compare TSP to MR in a simulated surgical environment involving insertion of guide-pins into models of severely deformed glenoids. Methods: Eight surgeons inserted guide-pins into eight randomized three-dimensional-printed severely eroded glenoid models in a simulated surgical environment using either TSP or MR. In total, 128 glenoid models were used and statistically compared. The outcomes compared between techniques included procedural time, difference in guide-pin start point, difference in version and inclination, and surgeon confidence via a confidence rating scale. Results: When comparing traditional preoperative software planning to MR visualization as techniques to assist surgeons in glenoid guide pin insertion, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of mean procedure time (P=0.634), glenoid start-point (TSP=2.2±0.2 mm, MR=2.1±0.1 mm; P=0.760), guide-pin orientation (P=0.586), or confidence rating score (P=0.850). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that there were no significant differences between traditional preoperative software planning and MR visualization for guide-pin placement into models of eroded glenoids. A perceived benefit of MR is the real-time intraoperative visibility of the surgical plan and the patient's anatomy; however, this did not translate into decreased procedural time or improved guide-pin position.

성장장애는 두개안면부의 골격성장과 영구치의 조기상실에 영향을 미친다. 본 증례는 성장장애 환자에서 치아를 조기 상실한 부위에 무피판 술식으로 임플란트를 식립 시 컴퓨터 단층촬영(CT)을 통한 인접치아의 확인과 임플란트 가이드의 필요성을 살펴보았다. 특발성 저신장과 3급 정신지체의 20세의 여환에서 구치의 회복을 위해 임플란트 고정성 보철을 계획하였다. CT 영상에서 인접치가 심하게 협측으로 위치되어 있었고, 이를 반영하여 가이드를 제작후 임플란트를 식립하였다. 이상 위치된 인접치를 기준으로 임플란트를 식립할 경우 협측 골의 천공이 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 성장장애 환자에서 치아 조기 상실부에 임플란트를 식립 시 CT를 통한 치아의 위치 확인과 가이드의 제작이 요구된다.

A 74-year-old female patient, who underwent surgery for a left distal tibiofibular fracture 40 years earlier, visited the hospital with an ankle varus deformity due to malunion. The patient complained of discomfort while walking due to the ankle and hindfoot varus deformity but did not complain of ankle pain. Therefore, correction using supramalleolar osteotomy was planned, and through virtual surgical simulation, it was predicted that a correction angle of 24° and an osteotomy gap open of 12 mm would be necessary. An osteotomy guide and an osteotomy gap block were made using three-dimensional (3D) printing to perform the osteotomy and correct the deformity according to the predicted goal. One year after surgery, it was observed that the ankle varus was corrected according to the surgical simulation, and the patient was able to walk comfortably. Thus, for correction of deformity, virtual surgical simulation and a 3D-printed osteotomy guide can be used to predict the target value for correction. This is useful for increasing the accuracy of correction of the deformity.

연구 목적: 최근 정확하면서도 외상이 적은 임플란트 식립을 위해 임플란트 수술용 가이드가 많이 쓰이고 있다. 그 중 대표적인 방식이 stereolithography 방식과 positioning device로 제작한 방식이다. 본 연구는 이 두 가지 방식의 정확성을 비교하기 위하여 4 가지 형태의 치아상실 모델에서 실험 후 정확성에 관하여 분석하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 4가지 형태 치아 결손 모델 각각에 대하여 stereolithography 방법과 positioning device를 이용한 방법으로 수술 가이드를 제작하였다. 제작된 수술 가이드를 제작에 사용되었던 치아모델에 장착하여 수술 가이드의 내면과 모델의 치아표면 사이 공간크기를 측정하여 가이드의 적합도를 평가하였다. 또한 이 수술 가이드를 이용하여 총 40개 모델에서 임플란트 시술을 진행하고, 시술 후 모델을 다시 cone-beam computed tomography촬영 하여 수술 전후 영상을 중첩시켜 계획 상의 임플란트와 실제 시술한 임플란트의 위치를 비교하였다. 통계학적인 검증을 위하여 PASW Statistics$^{(R)}$ 18.0을 이용하여서 Mann-Whitney U 검정을 사용하였다. 결과: 수술 가이드 내면과 모델 사이 공간크기가 stereolithography는 $1.4{\pm}0.3mm$이고, positioning device는 $0.4{\pm}0.3mm$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<.05). Stereolithography는 오차가 근원심 측에서 $3.9{\pm}1.6^{\circ}$, 협설 측에서 $2.7{\pm}1.5^{\circ}$, 깊이에서 $1.9{\pm}0.9mm$였다. 반면 positioning device는 오차가 근원심 측에서 $0.7{\pm}0.3^{\circ}$였고, 협설측에서 $0.3{\pm}0.2^{\circ}$, 깊이에서 $0.4{\pm}0.2mm$였다. 두 수술 가이드 제작방법은 모든 방향에서의 오차에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<.05). 결론: 본 연구의 결과는stereolithography방법보다 positioning device를 이용하여 수술 가이드를 제작할 때 C.T.와 임플란트 치료 계획 프로그램을 이용하여 미리 계획한 임플란트 식립 위치와 방향으로 더 정확하게 식립 할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

Apical surgery for a mandibular molar is still challenging for many reasons. This report describes the applications of computer-guided cortical 'bone-window technique' using piezoelectric saws that prevented any nerve damage in performing endodontic microsurgery of a mandibular molar. A 49-year-old woman presented with gumboil on tooth #36 (previously endodontically treated tooth) and was diagnosed with chronic apical abscess. Periapical lesions were confirmed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Endodontic microsurgery for the mesial and distal roots of tooth #36 was planned. Following the transfer of data of the CBCT images and the scanned cast to an implant surgical planning program, data from both devices were merged. A surgical stent was designed, on the superimposed three-dimensional model, to guide the preparation of a cortical window on the buccal side of tooth #36. Endodontic microsurgery was performed with a printed surgical template. Minimal osteotomy was required and preservation of the buccal cortical plate rendered this endodontic surgery less traumatic. No postoperative complications such as mental nerve damage were reported. Window technique guided by a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture based surgical template can be considerably useful in endodontic microsurgery in complicated cases.
