Orthognathic surgery and implant placement using virtual surgical simulation and customized surgical guide in a partially edentulous patient with mandibular prognathism: case reports

부분 무치악을 가진 하악 전돌증 환자에서의 virtual surgical simulation 및 customized surgical guide를 활용한 악교정 수술과 임플란트 식립: 증례보고

 

A 48-year-old man presented with partially edentulous and mandibular prognathism. This patient needed implant treatment and orthognathic
surgery. We prepared orthognathic and implant surgery by computer-aided virtual surgical simulation and customized surgical
guide. The design of surgical guides was based on three-dimensional surgical simulation, including bilateral sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy
and implant surgery. Orthognathic surgery was done as planned by the surgical guide. And implant surgery was also done by the surgical
guide. Post-operative prosthodontic treatment was performed for 7 months. Finally, the patient’s esthetics and masticatory function were
improved after surgery and treatment. Our surgical simulation and customized surgical guide provide a reliable method and does not
require traditional surgery preparation. So we report this case with a literature review. (JOURNAL OF DENTAL IMPLANT RESEARCH
