Backgrounds: The purpose of this study is to discuss the total joint reconstruction surgery for a patient with recurrent ankylosis in bilateral temporomandibular joints (TMJs) using three-dimensional (3D) virtual surgical planning, computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-fabricated surgical guides, and stock TMJ prostheses. Case presentation: A 66-year-old female patient, who had a history of multiple TMJ surgeries, complained of severe difficulty in eating and trismus. The 3D virtual surgery was performed with a virtual surgery software (FACEGIDE, MegaGen implant, Daegu, South Korea). After confirmation of the location of the upper margin for resection of the root of the zygoma and the lower margin for resection of the ankylosed condyle, and the position of the fossa and condyle components of stock TMJ prosthesis (Biomet, Jacksonville, FL, USA), the surgical guides were fabricated with CAD/CAM technology. Under general anesthesia, osteotomy and placement of the stock TMJ prosthesis (Biomet) were carried out according to the surgical planning. At 2 months after the operation, the patient was able to open her mouth up to 30 mm without complication. Conclusion: For a patient who has recurrent ankylosis in bilateral TMJs, total joint reconstruction surgery using 3D virtual surgical planning, CAD/CAM-fabricated surgical guides, and stock TMJ prostheses may be an effective surgical treatment option.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the reliability of the chair-side CAD-CAM surgical guide (CSG) in the anterior maxilla by comparing its accuracy with the laboratory 3D-printed surgical guide (3DSG) and manual surgical guide (MSG) concerning different levels of dentists' surgical experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten surgical guides of each type (MSG, 3DSG, and CSG) were fabricated on a control study model with missing right and left central incisors. Sixty implants were placed in 30 study models by two dentists (one inexperienced and one experienced) using three different types of surgical guides. Horizontal deviations at shoulder and at apex, vertical, and angular deviations were measured after superimposing the planned and placed implant positions in the software. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the accuracy of three types of surgical guides in each dentist group and the accuracy of each surgical guide between two dentists (α = .05). RESULTS. There were no significant differences in any deviations between CSG and 3DSG, apart from angular deviation, for both dentists' groups. Moreover, both CSG and 3DSG showed no significant differences in accuracy between the two dentists (P > .05). In contrast, MSG demonstrated significant differences from CSG and 3DSG and a significant difference in accuracy between the two dentists (P < .05). CONCLUSION. CSG provides superior accuracy to MSG in implant placement in the maxillary anterior region and is comparable to 3DSG at different levels of surgical experience, while offering the benefits of shorter manufacturing time and reduced patient visits.

최근 디지털 치의학 기술이 치과 치료에 다양하게 활용이 되고 있다. 본 증례는 다수의 치아 상실과 치아 마모로 수직고경이 감소한 환자의 치료에서 이러한 디지털 치의학 기술이 어떻게 적용되는지 다루고 있다. 감소한 수직고경을 주의 깊게 평가하여 회복하였고, 최종 수복물을 고려하여 설계한 수술용 가이드를 이용하여 임플란트 식립을 시행하였다. 디지털 악간관계 측정기를 이용하여 하악의 전측방 운동을 측정하여 교합기에 반영하였고, Naturgemäße Aufwachs-Technik (N.A.T.), Natural functional reconstruction (N.F.R.)을 이용한 왁스업 과정을 진행하였다. 이를 스캔하여 CAD/CAM 기술로 임시 수복물을 제작하였고, 기능적, 심미적으로 만족스러운 상태까지 진료실에서 조정과정을 거친 뒤 Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) 기술을 활용하여 최종 수복물로 그대로 이행될 수 있도록 하였다. 이와 같이 디지털 치의학 기술과 전통적인 방식의 장점을 활용하여 환자와 술자 모두 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
