Filter by:The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare PROMs in patients receiving single tooth replacement in posterior sites by s-CAIS and CIS.
The study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee and was conducted in compliance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki on medical research. A total of 335 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial reconstruction were recorded from Jan 2014 to Jun 2020. Reconstruction with computer-assisted surgery ( CAS), which included, virtual surgical planning, computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) surgical guides/templates and pre-bent plates on 3D printed models. Reasons for tissue defect were oncologic, osteoradionecrosis, trauma and osteoporosis. Patients undergoing dental implant placement and orthognathic surgery were excluded. Finally, 136 patients were selected and the reasons for partial or abandon surgical plan performance were described and analyzed.
For a significant number of patients suffering from back pain, even basic daily activities become impossible. It is at this time that spinal surgery becomes necessary in order to improve the patient's quality of life. To combat these symptoms, surgical implants (e.g. pedicle screws, rods, etc.) are used to aid in stabilizing and correcting the deformities of the spine, particularly after spinal decompression. Surgical navigation has a great potential to improve the accuracy of correctly implanting these devices; however, present technologies rely on intraoperative imaging that uses ionizing radiation (e.g. computed tomography, fluoroscopy, etc.), require cumbersome set-ups, the physical attachment of fiducial markers, and cannot account for patient motion. Therefore, the investigators propose a real-time intraoperative optical topographical imaging based surgical guidance system capable of accurately guiding the placement of implanted devices such as pedicle screws.
