RESUMO

A cirurgia guiada estática se caracteriza por utilizar de um guia cirúrgico que tem como objetivo reproduzir a posição virtual ideal do implante, por meio de sítios criados para a inserção de uma série de brocas de acordo com a trajetória pré estabelecida pelo planejamento digital. Realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre cirurgia guiada estática em implantodontia, demonstrando sua importância, vantagens, desvantagens, limitações e complicações em comparação com técnica convencional. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura de natureza exploratória, realizada durante o período de agosto de 2021 e maio de 2022, a partir das produções científicas indexadas na base eletrônica da PubMed. Um total de 13 estudos foram incluídos após a seleção e suas evidências foram reunidas para esclarecer os objetos propostos. Os estudos demostraram que uma das principais vantagens da técnica guiada estática é a precisão em relação a técnica convencional e melhor pós operatório de dor relatado pelos pacientes. Não se pode confiar totalmente no processo de produção dos guias, devido o fator experiencia está associado, além que o custo e tempo dessa produção são elevados. Como complicação e limitação os estudos citam possibilidades de ocorrer mínimo acesso ao sítio cirúrgico e fratura do guia. A cirurgia guiada é uma excelente alternativa, as vantagens mais citadas são em relação a precisão, redução da dor, no entanto há fatores negativos como custo, a impossibilidade de mudança no transoperatório e possíveis erros de fabricação. Existem ainda limitações como fratura da guia e baixo acesso ao sítio cirúrgico.

Static guided surgery is characterized by using a surgical guide that aims to reproduce the ideal virtual position of the implant, through sites created for the insertion of a series of drills according to the trajectory pre-established by digital planning. Perform an integrative review of the literature on static guided surgery in implantodontia, demonstrating its importance, advantages, disadvantages, limitations and complications compared to conventional technique. This was an integrative review of the exploratory literature, carried out during the period of August 2021 and May 2022, from the scientific productions indexed in pubmed's electronic database. A total of 13 studies were included after selection and their evidence was gathered to clarify the proposed objects. Studies have shown that one of the main advantages of the static guided technique is accuracy in relation to the conventional technique and better postoperative pain reported by patients. One cannot fully trust the production process of the guides, due to the experience factor is associated, and the cost and time of this production are high. As a complication and limitation, studies mention possibilities of minimal access to the surgical site and fracture of the guide. Guided surgery is an excellent alternative, the most cited advantages are in relation to accuracy, pain reduction, however there are negative factors such as cost, the impossibility of change in the transoperative period and possible manufacturing errors. There are also limitations such as fracture of the guide and low access to the surgical site.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The study was aimed at comparing implants installed with guided and conventional surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-nine total edentulous patients were selected, and maxillary contralateral quadrants were randomly assigned to static computer-aided implant surgery (S-CAIS): flapless computer-guided surgery, and conventional surgery (CS): flap surgery with conventional planning. Tomography scans were performed at baseline and 10 days after the surgery for deviation measurement, and radiography was done at baseline and after 6 and 12 months, for peri-implant bone level (PIBL) analysis. Peri-implant fluid and subgingival biofilm were collected to evaluate bone markers and periodontal pathogens. RESULTS: S-CAIS showed less linear deviation at the apical point and the midpoint and less angular deviation (p < 0.05), with greater depth discrepancy in the positioning of the platform (p < 0.05). Higher values of vertical PIBL were observed for the S-CAIS group at baseline (p < 0.05), while lower values of horizontal PIBL were observed for CS (p < 0.05). Bone markers and Tf presented higher levels in CS (p < 0.05). Flapless S-CAIS allowed smaller linear and angular deviations than the conventional technique. CONCLUSION: However, PIBL was higher in S-CAIS; the conventional technique led to a greater angiogenic and bone remodeling activity by elevating the angiogenic levels and bone markers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Evaluating the different implant insertion techniques can guide clinical and surgical regarding the accuracy, the release pattern of bone markers, and the peri-implant bone level.

RESUMO

Purpose: Computer-guided surgery has been increased in recent years. Nonetheless, few data are available on the validation of this technique for immediate implant placement. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of computer-guided surgery in immediate implant placement. Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) and virtual models were obtained of eight fresh pigs hemi-mandibles to perform the digital planning of implants placement. Fifteen implants were simulated, and surgical guides were designed to transfer the digital planning to the surgical procedure. Postsurgical CBCTs were performed to compare the position of the planned implants versus the real implant position. Paired t-test and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to assess the mean differences and correlations in each outcome variable evaluated twice by one experienced researcher. Furthermore, variations were compared with the results reported in the scientific literature using a one-sample t-test P < 0.05. Results: The measurements of the outcome variables (implants position at the neck and apex level and the angular deviation) showed significant reproducibility (mean difference-0.01 mm, 0.07 mm, and 0.30°, respectively, P > 0.05). The ICC values ranged from 0.888 to 0.949. Furthermore, the mean deviation was 1.43 mm at the implant neck, 2.19 mm at the apex, and 6.81° for the angular deviation. Similarly, significant differences (P < 0.05) were found at the neck and angular deviation when comparing the results with values reported in the literature. Conclusions: Although some variations were observed, they did not have a clinically significant impact. Therefore, computer-guided surgery could be satisfactorily used in immediate implants placement.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar acurácia do posicionamento de implantes imediatos instalados na região anterior da maxila por meio de cirurgia guiada ou convencional de acordo com a experiência do cirurgião. Dez cirurgiões inexperientes e 10 cirurgiões experientes instalaram em modelos odontológico, um implante de forma guiada e convencional na região do dente 12 e 22, distribuídos aleatoriamente. A amostra foi composta por 4 grupos: experiente e guiado (EG), experiente e convencional (EC), inexperiente e guiado (IG) e inexperiente e convencional (IC) com 10 casos em cada grupo, totalizando 40 implantes. Foram impressos 20 modelos obtidos a partir do escaneamento de um manequim de treinamento padronizado (MOM). O modelo foi submetido a tomografia por feixe cônico e escaneado para planejamento da posição ideal do implante e obtenção das guias cirúrgicas, utilizando o software coDiagnostiX®. Após a instalação dos implantes foram obtidas novas tomografias dos modelos e a acurácia do posicionamento foi comparada ao planejamento inicial por meio da sobreposição das imagens nos sentidos global, e linear. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados e submetidos à análise estatística. Observamos diferenças estatísticas entre o tipo de cirurgia no grupo experiente no desvio angular e nos desvios lineares: plataforma tridimensional (P-3D), mesio distal (P-MD), vestíbulo palatino (P-VP),apical tridimensional (A-3D), mesio distal (A-MD), vestíbulo palatino (A-VP) e no grupodos cirurgiões inexperientes nos desvios lineares P-3D, P-MD, P-VP, A-3D, A-MD. Ao comparar a acurácia de acordo com a experiência do cirurgião, observamos diferenças significativas apenas na cirurgia convencional para os desvios de P-3D, PAC e A-AC. Concluímos que a acurácia dos implantes instalados de forma guiada foi maior independentemente do grau de experiência do cirurgião. (AU)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the positioning of immediate implants installed in the anterior region of the maxilla through guided or conventional surgery, according to the surgeon's experience. Ten inexperienced surgeons and 10 experienced surgeons installed, in dental models, an implant in a guided and conventional way in the region of tooth 12 and 22, randomly distributed. The sample consisted of 4 groups: experienced and guided (EG), experienced and conventional (EC), inexperienced and guided (IG) and inexperienced and conventional (IC) with 10 cases in each group, totaling 40 implants. Twenty models obtained from the scanning of a standardized training manikin (MOM) were printed. The model was submitted to cone beam tomography and scanned to plan the ideal position of the implant and obtain the surgical guides, using the coDiagnostiX® software. After implant placement, new tomography scans of the models were obtained and the positioning accuracy was compared to the initial planning by superimposing the images in the global and linear directions. The data obtained were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis. We observed statistical differences between the type of surgery in the group experienced in angular deviation and linear deviations: three-dimensional platform (P-3D), mesiodistal (P-MD), palatal vestibule (P-VP), three-dimensional apical (A-3D), mesiodistal (A-MD), vestibule palatine (A-VP) and in the group of inexperienced surgeons in linear deviations P-3D, P-MD, P-VP, A-3D, A-MD. When comparing the accuracy according to the surgeon's experience, we observed significant differences only in conventional surgery for P-3D, P-AC and A-AC deviations. We concluded that the accuracy of guided implants was higher regardless of the surgeon's experience. (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are frequent and are usually associated with other disorders of the facial skeleton. Surgery might be needed to correct TMJ anatomy and function and, in cases where pathologies coexist, a two-stage corrective surgery might be needed. However, the current fashion of single-stage procedures is feasible with the aid of new technologies such as computer-assisted surgery (CAS). This is a step forward toward performing complex procedures such as a TMJ replacement with simultaneous orthognathic surgery. CAS allows designing patient-fitted prosthesis and more predictable and accurate surgeries. Moreover, intraoperative development can be controlled in real time with intraoperative navigation, and postoperative results can be measured and compared afterwards. AIMS: The primary purpose of this article is to present the protocol used in our institution for orthognathic surgery associated with unilateral and bilateral TMJ replacement with patient-fitted prostheses guided with CAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present two cases to illustrate our protocol and its results. RESULTS: In the first case, the difference in millimeters between planning and surgical outcomes was 1.72 mm for the glenoid component and 2.16 mm for the condylar prosthesis; for the second case, differences in the right side were 2.59 mm for the glenoid component and 2.06 mm for the ramus, and in the left side, due to the anatomy the difference was a little greater, without clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Combined surgery of the midface and mandible with total TMJ replacement is feasible and beneficial for the patient. CAS facilitates the planning and design of custom-fit prosthesis and execution of these procedures.

RESUMO

The identification and management of interfering maxillary sinus septa is essential to anticipate and prevent membrane perforation and other complications during sinus grafting. A computer-guided sinus approach based on a new magnetic stackable surgical guide was planned, to transfer the exact position of the septum and optimize the positioning of the lateral access windows. This technique reduces the risk of sinus membrane injury, thereby increasing the safety and efficacy of the procedure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The high cost and low availability of virtual reality simulators in surgical specialty training programs in low- and middle-income countries make it necessary to develop and obtain sources of validity for new models of low-cost portable simulators that enable ubiquitous learning of psychomotor skills in minimally invasive surgery. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to obtain validity evidence for relationships to other variables, internal structure, and consequences of testing for the task scores of a new low-cost portable simulator mediated by gestures for learning basic psychomotor skills in minimally invasive surgery. This new simulator is called SIMISGEST-VR (Simulator of Minimally Invasive Surgery mediated by Gestures - Virtual Reality). METHODS: In this prospective observational validity study, the authors looked for multiple sources of evidence (known group construct validity, prior videogaming experience, internal structure, test-retest reliability, and consequences of testing) for the proposed SIMISGEST-VR tasks. Undergraduate students (n=100, reference group), surgical residents (n=20), and experts in minimally invasive surgery (n=28) took part in the study. After answering a demographic questionnaire and watching a video of the tasks to be performed, they individually repeated each task 10 times with each hand. The simulator provided concurrent, immediate, and terminal feedback and obtained the task metrics (time and score). From the reference group, 29 undergraduate students were randomly selected to perform the tasks 6 months later in order to determine test-retest reliability. RESULTS: Evidence from multiple sources, including strong intrarater reliability and internal consistency, considerable evidence for the hypothesized consequences of testing, and partial confirmation for relations to other variables, supports the validity of the scores and the metrics used to train and teach basic psychomotor skills for minimally invasive surgery via a new low-cost portable simulator that utilizes interaction technology mediated by gestures. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained provided multiple sources of evidence to validate SIMISGEST-VR tasks aimed at training novices with no prior experience and enabling them to learn basic psychomotor skills for minimally invasive surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Simulation in virtual environments has become a new paradigm for surgeon training in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, this technology is expensive and difficult to access. OBJECTIVE: This study aims first to describe the development of a new gesture-based simulator for learning skills in MIS and, second, to establish its fidelity to the criterion and sources of content-related validity evidence. METHODS: For the development of the gesture-mediated simulator for MIS using virtual reality (SIMISGEST-VR), a design-based research (DBR) paradigm was adopted. For the second objective, 30 participants completed a questionnaire, with responses scored on a 5-point Likert scale. A literature review on the validity of the MIS training-VR (MIST-VR) was conducted. The study of fidelity to the criterion was rated using a 10-item questionnaire, while the sources of content-related validity evidence were assessed using 10 questions about the simulator training capacity and 6 questions about MIS tasks, and an iterative process of instrument pilot testing was performed. RESULTS: A good enough prototype of a gesture-based simulator was developed with metrics and feedback for learning psychomotor skills in MIS. As per the survey conducted to assess the fidelity to the criterion, all 30 participants felt that most aspects of the simulator were adequately realistic and that it could be used as a tool for teaching basic psychomotor skills in laparoscopic surgery (Likert score: 4.07-4.73). The sources of content-related validity evidence showed that this study's simulator is a reliable training tool and that the exercises enable learning of the basic psychomotor skills required in MIS (Likert score: 4.28-4.67). CONCLUSIONS: The development of gesture-based 3D virtual environments for training and learning basic psychomotor skills in MIS opens up a new approach to low-cost, portable simulation that allows ubiquitous learning and preoperative warm-up. Fidelity to the criterion was duly evaluated, which allowed a good enough prototype to be achieved. Content-related validity evidence for SIMISGEST-VR was also obtained.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective and observational study evaluated the accuracy of a 3D virtual surgical planning (VSP) for the maxillary positioning and orientation in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, comparing the planned and postoperative outcomes. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION: Seventy consecutive patients of both sexes, who were submitted to bimaxillary orthognathic surgery between 2015 and 2019 were included in our study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The patients were evaluated by fusing preoperative planning and postoperative outcome using cone-beam computed tomography scan evaluation. Three-dimensional VSP and postoperative outcomes were compared by using three linear and three angular measurements. The main outcome interest was the difference between the VSP movement, and the surgical movement obtained. The success criterion adopted was a mean linear difference of <2 mm and a mean angular difference of <4°. RESULTS: Results were analysed using a linear mixed model with fixed and random effects, at α = .05. No significant statistical differences were found for linear and angular measurements between the planned and postsurgical outcomes (P > .05). All overlapping points presented values within the range considered clinically irrelevant (<2 mm; <1°). CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional VSP was executed with a high degree of accuracy. When comparing the planned and postsurgical outcomes, all overlapping points presented values within the range considered clinically irrelevant.
