[PMID: 38369252 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.104889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate dynamic condylar positions by integrating mandibular movement recording data and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to investigate its accuracy via dynamic model experiments. METHODS A polyvinyl chloride skull model was utilized. A robot arm was used to operate the mandible to perform mouth opening, closing, protrusion, and lateral movements. A recording device, worn on the skull, was used to record the dynamic process and an optical position tracking (OPT) system was used to simultaneously trace the movements. A self-developed software module was used to evaluate the dynamic condylar position by integrating the dynamic tracing data and a virtual skull model derived from CBCT images. Errors were defined as differences between the dynamic coordinates of six landmarks around the condylar area derived from the software module (test) and OPT system (gold standard). RESULTS The condylar position errors were 0.76 ± 0.31, 0.55 ± 0.15, and 0.68 ± 0.23 mm for mouth opening, bilateral, and protrusion movements, respectively. Furthermore, the errors for small, moderate, and large mouth opening movements were 0.62 ± 0.19, 0.69 ± 0.29, and 0.94 ± 0.31 mm, respectively. The errors for all movements, except for large mouth opening, were significantly less than 1 mm (P < 0.05). The error was not different from 1 mm in the large mouth opening movement (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our developed method of achieving dynamic condylar position by integrating mandibular movement recording data and CBCT images is clinically reliable. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study proved the reliability of evaluating dynamic condylar position using a commercial dynamic recording instrument and CBCT images.

A digital approach to fabricating a custom holder for the attachment of a mandibular sensor of an optical jaw motion tracking system: A dental technique. J Prosthet Dent 2024:S0022-3913(24)00062-3. [PMID: 38378312 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
A digital approach to fabricating a custom holder to attach a mandibular sensor of an optical jaw motion tracking system is described. Typically, jaw motion tracking systems come with standard holders. However, additional chairside time is still required to adapt the holder's arm to the individual arch and securely attach the holder to the mandibular teeth. Moreover, the placement of the standard holder is problematic in patients with a deep vertical overlap or with short clinical crowns. This technique offers a digital approach to designing and fabricating a custom holder in situations where standard holders cannot be efficiently attached. The custom holder is designed to accommodate the available space without interfering with the occlusion, thereby minimizing the time needed to attach the holder and optimizing the workflow for clinical jaw motion tracking.

[PMID: 38123416 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Precise assessment of the condylar guidance angle can aid successful prosthodontic treatment. However, the reliability and accuracy of current methods remain unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of current methods of determining the sagittal condylar guidance angle, including protrusive interocclusal records, axiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and panoramic and cephalometric radiographs. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search was conducted using BASE, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases up to June 2022. Inclusion criteria involved studies that compared protrusive interocclusal records against other methods of sagittal condylar guidance angle assessment in adult dentate and edentulous patients. Studies that did not provide the values for the right and left joint separately were excluded. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool. Data were tabulated and analyzed for correlations and their significance. RESULTS A total of 24 articles qualified for the analysis. The differences between protrusive interocclusal records and panoramic radiograph sagittal condylar guidance angle values were up to 9 degrees. Lateral cephalometric radiographs revealed greater condylar guidance values than facebow transfers or the Bonwill methods. Correlations between average sagittal condylar guidance angle values obtained from CBCT and protrusive interocclusal records differed depending on the method of registration. For protrusive interocclusal records, axiographic or pantographic measurement variance analysis showed that the condylar inclination values recorded with wax were statistically lower than those recorded with a pantograph (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Although CBCT appears to be the most suitable method of evaluating the sagittal condylar guidance angle, the limitations and discrepancies among methods, including protrusive interocclusal records and panoramic and cephalometric radiographs, should be acknowledged. Digital axiography, with its potential to capture comprehensive functional data, may surpass other techniques. The use of mean values for articulators may be a practical solution for some patients. Further research is needed to refine sagittal condylar guidance angle assessment methods and to develop more reproducible and reliable approaches for the future.

[PMID: 37939605 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2023.111189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of TMJ disc position on condylar bone remodeling after arthroscopic disc repositioning surgery. METHODS Nine patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR, 15 sides) who underwent arthroscopic disc repositioning surgery were included. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the articular disc and the condyle in the closed-mouth position was performed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Then, the CBCT and MRI images were fused and displayed together by multimodal image registration techniques. Morphological changes in the articular disc and condyle, as well as changes in their spatial relationship, were studied by comparing preoperative and 3-month postoperative CBCT-MRI fused images. RESULTS The volume and superficial area of the articular disc, as well as the area of the articular disc surface in the subarticular cavity, were significantly increased compared to that before the surgical treatment(P < 0.01). There was also a significant increase in the volume of the condyle (P < 0.001). All condyles showed bone remodeling after surgery that could be categorized as one of two types depending on the position of the articular disc, suggesting that the location of the articular disc was related to the new bone formation. CONCLUSIONS The morphology of the articular disc and condyle were significantly changed after arthroscopic disc repositioning surgery. The 3D changes in the position of the articular disc after surgery tended to have an effect on condylar bone remodeling and the location of new bone formation.

Appraisal of the Accuracy and Reliability of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and Three-Dimensional Printing for Volumetric Mandibular Condyle Measurements of a Human Condyle. Cureus 2023; 15:e46746. [PMID: 38022326 PMCID: PMC10631571 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.46746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of volumetric measurements of three-dimensional (3D)-printed human condyles from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in comparison to physical condyles using a water displacement test. Methodology A sample of 22 dry condyles was separated from the mandibular body by disc, mounted on a base made of casting wax, and scanned using the SCANORA (Scanora 3DX, Soredex, Finland) CBCT scanner. Subsequently, the projection data were reconstructed with the machine-dedicated OnDemand 3D (Cybermed Co., Seoul, Korea). The Standard Tessellation Language file was prepared for 3D printing using chitubox slicing software v1.9.1. Frozen water-washable gray resin was used for 3D printing. All condyles were printed using the same parameters and the same resin. The volumetric measurements were then performed using a customized modified pycnometer based on water volume and weight displacement. Volumetric measures were performed for both the physical human condyles and the 3D-printed replicas and the measurements were then compared. Results The volume of dry condyles using the water displacement method showed an average (±SD) of 1.925 ± 0.40 cm3. However, the volume of 3D-printed replicas using the water displacement method showed an average (±SD) of 2.109 ± 0.40 cm3. The differences in measurements were insignificant (p > 0.05), as revealed by an independent t-test. Conclusions Highly precise, accurate, and reliable CBCT for volumetric mandibular condyle was applied for measurements of a human condyle and 3D-printed replica. The modified pycnometer for volumetric measurements presented an excellent volumetric measure based on a simple water displacement device. The tested modified pycnometer can be applied in volumetric measurements in both 3D-printed and mandibular condyle. For best accuracy, the highest scanning resolution possible should be used. As it directly handles irregularly shaped solid objects in a non-destructive manner with a high level of precision and reliability, this 3D scanning approach may be seen as a superior alternative to the current measurement methods.
