摘要

Background

Orbital exenteration (exenteratio orbitae) is a disfiguring procedure performed with tumor resection. Rapid realization of an implant-retained craniofacial prosthesis with a secure fit for an active life is essential to restore quality of life. Osseointegrated implants are commonly used for maxillofacial rehabilitation. The precise positioning of these implants is more difficult in cases of reduced bone availability, but it enables anaplastologists to achieve an unobtrusive restoration.

Methods

After computed tomography (CT) scans of 13 cadaver heads, 104 craniomaxillofacial (CMF) implants were digitally planned. Using a split-face study design, one periorbital side was treated with customized surgical guides and one side was operated freehand.

The digital evaluation of position, axis, and insertion depth compared to the digital planning was conducted for 78 periorbital implants using digital evaluation of a postoperative CT scan to measure the linear and angular deviation from preoperative planning.

Results

The linear deviation in 3D (p = 0.0105), drilling depth (p = 0.0013), and angular deviation (p = 0.0004) were significantly greater in the freehand group than in the guided computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) group.

Conclusion

Digital planning enables the available bone support to be preoperatively estimated. CAIS with surgical guides offers significantly more accurate results for CMF implant placement than a freehand transfer of digital planning. Guided CAIS requires a larger surgical approach and therefore fails to achieve the goal of a minimally invasive technique.
