Descripción detallada
The implant-borne rehabilitation of three-dimensional and extended alveolar defects is not simple in any case: anatomic and prosthetic demands often require bone reconstructive procedures. Up to date, we can entirely virtually simulate our treatment .The design and printing of a customized mesh mimicking the ideal reconstruction eliminate the intra-operative handling and trimming, with reduced surgical timings and minimal stress for the soft tissues.
The aim is to verify if virtual planning with a customized scaffold could improve the predictability of a complex bone reconstruction in terms of bone reconstruction and implant results.
Twenty patients underwent a guided bone regenerative procedure with the application of a virtually projected customized mesh as containment and stabilizer of particulate bone graft. The entity of bone volume reconstructed after healing were digitally analysed on radiological imaging and expressed in volumetric data and in percentage of what planned before the operation. This datum was correlated with predictors variables potentially affecting the final result: six months at least after surgery, a new cone-beam CT was taken;the pre-and postoperative CT datasets were converted into three-dimensional models and digitally aligned; the reconstructed bone volumes (RBV) were calculated according to the planned bone volumes (PBVs), outlining the areas under the mesh. These values were correlated with complications, atrophies' location and the entity of virtually planned bone volume. As secondary outcome the implant results after the prosthetic loading was evaluated in terms of survival, success and complication.

Otro: Subjects undergoing virtually planned GBR for extended and complex alveolar defects.
Subjects undergoing virtually planned GBR for extended and complex alveolar defects. The subjects were selected from the population of patients referring to the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of S.Orsola-Malpighi University Hospital for oral function rehabilitation. Eligibility criteria were: the presence of horizontal and vertical alveolar defects in both jaws, inadequate for the placement of at least two fixtures, even ≤6 mm long ones; ≥ 18 years; informed consent signed. |
After local anesthesia, the surgery started with a mid-crestal incision with vertical releasing cuts followed by the full-thickness buccal and lingual/palatal flaps raising to expose the bone defect completely.
The flaps were coronally extended to assure a complete closure with a passive suture above the titanium.
Subsequently, an intra-oral mandibular ramus bone cortical block was harvested in the molar zone.
The bone block was milled and mixed with freeze-dried.
The particulate graft was put to fill the deficit above the mesh until its perfect stability and unity with the defect's borders.
Two or three titanium mini-screws were used to stabilize the device , and the flaps were carefully sutured.
Ceftriaxone was administered intravenously at a loading dose of 2 g; together with a non-steroidal analgesic, it was continued at two g/die per os beginning the day after surgery and continuing for six days.

Bone regeneration volumes
Periodo de tiempo: 6 months after surgery
|
The bone reconstruction was calculated comparing the pre-operative and postoperative volumes.
The Reconstructed Bone Volume (RBV) derived by subtracting the Lacking Bone Volume (LBV) values from Planned Bone Volume (PBV) ones.
The pre-and postoperative CT datasets were converted into 3D models using Amira imaging software, version 5.3.3.
The segmentation regarded almost the entire jaw structure to have at least six precise anatomical points of matching for the superimposition.
After that, the pre and postoperative models were digitally aligned with Geomagic Studio 12 software.
After the alignment was verified at a minimum range of tolerance of error level of ±0.37 mm in the areas no involved by the surgery, the measurements were performed.
In every single slice, the space between the mesh profile and the basal bone was virtually selected and rendered to obtain the PBV; the area representative for the empty space according to the gray-scale of pixels was rendered for the LBV.

Complication rate
Periodo de tiempo: through study completion, an average of 2 years.

Implant success
Periodo de tiempo: 1 year after implant loading at least.
|
The implant succes was calculated in respect to the bone resorption around each implant, radiographically assessed: with a dedicated software, the distance between the implant shoulder and the higher point of bone-implant contact was measured mesially and distally, attributing a mean value to each implant.
These measures, expressed in millimeters, were recorded and reported as numerical data.
