Han MD, Graca S, Miloro M. What is the angular accuracy of regional voxel-based registration for segmental Le Fort I and genioplasty osteotomies? Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 53:571-577. [PMID: 38184402 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2023.12.009] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Among the accuracy analysis techniques for orthognathic surgery, regional voxel-based registration (R-VBR) has robust data, but remains unvalidated for smaller jaw segments. The purpose of this study was to validate the angular accuracy of R-VBR for segmental Le Fort I (SLFI) and genioplasty osteotomies. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of consecutive patients with three-piece SLFI or genioplasties was rotated to a known pitch/roll/yaw (P/R/Y). Using R-VBR, a copy of the raw CBCT was superimposed onto the rotated CBCT at four mutual regions of interest (ROI): anterior, right posterior, and left posterior maxilla, and chin. The P/R/Y of each was subtracted from those of the rotated CBCT to calculate the angular error. The predictor and outcome variables were ROI and absolute angular error, respectively. The accuracy threshold was 0.5°. Ten SLFI and 34 genioplasties were analyzed based on the sample size calculation. The one-sample t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied in the analysis. The mean absolute error was 0.20-0.54° for the maxillary segments (all P ≤ 0.01) and 0.83-2.51° for the genioplasty segments (all P < 0.001). R-VBR has variable angular accuracy for SLFI osteotomies and may be insufficient for genioplasty. The findings may allow the design and interpretation of studies on SLFI and genioplasty with greater rigor, thereby contributing to minimizing the discrepancy between planned and achieved outcomes.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:648-654. [PMID: 38554733 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Segmental maxillary osteotomies require precise occlusal control due to variability in individual segment positioning. The role of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) technique on occlusal control has not been validated. PURPOSE The purpose is to measure and compare the accuracy of occlusal positioning among MMF techniques. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This was a double-blinded in vitro study on experiment models to simulate a 3-piece LeFort I osteotomy. The models were constricted posteriorly and expanded using 3 different MMF techniques and compared to the unaltered baseline occlusion. Based on sample size calculation, 32 separate attempts were made for each MMF technique. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable was MMF technique (brackets, MMF screws, and embrasure wires). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variable was the visual occlusal analysis score, a 1.00 to 4.00 continuous scale measuring the similarity of the achieved occlusion to the planned (control) occlusion assessed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and an orthodontist. High visual occlusal analysis score indicated greater occlusal accuracy, with 3.50 defined as the threshold for accuracy. The secondary outcome variable was the linear error of the achieved occlusion at the canine and first molar teeth, with lower error indicating greater accuracy. An a priori accuracy threshold of 0.5 mm was set for this variable. COVARIATES None. ANALYSES Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc testing was used to analyze the difference in the outcome variables of interest. P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Thirty-two attempts for each technique showed that brackets had higher VAOS than MMF screws and embrasure wires (median differences 1.49 and 0.48, P < .001), and had lower linear occlusal error (median differences 0.35 to 0.99 mm, P < .001). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE MMF technique influences the quality of occlusal control, with greater visual rating scores and lower linear errors seen with brackets than with embrasure wires or MMF screws.

[PMID: 37762977 PMCID: PMC10532412 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12186038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: In orthognathic surgery, segmental Le Fort I osteotomies are a valuable method to correct maxillary deformities or transversal discrepancies. However, these procedures are technically challenging, and osteosynthesis can be prone to error. (2) Methods: In this retrospective, monocentric cohort study, patients were enrolled who underwent a virtually planned segmental maxillary osteotomy during their combined treatment. Positioning and osteosynthesis were achieved by either a 3D-printed splint and conventional miniplates or patient-specific implants (PSI). The preoperative CT data, virtual planning data, and postoperative CBCT data were segmented. The deviation of all the segments from the desired virtually planned position was measured using the analysis function of IPS CaseDesigner. (3) Results: 28 Patients in the PSI Group and 22 in the conventional groups were included. The PSI group showed significantly lower deviation from the planned position anteroposteriorly (-0.63 ± 1.62 mm vs. -1.3 ± 2.54 mm) and craniocaudally (-1.39 ± 1.59 mm vs. -2.7 ± 3.1 mm). For rotational deviations, the pitch (0.64 ± 2.59° vs. 2.91 ± 4.08°), as well as the inward rotation of the lateral segments, was positively influenced by PSI. (4). Conclusions: The presented data show that patient-specific osteosynthesis significantly reduces deviations from the preoperative plan in virtually planned cases. Transversal expansions and vertical positioning can be addressed better.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the surgical accuracy of 3D virtual surgical planned orthognathic surgery and the influence of posterior impaction and magnitude of the planned movements on a possible learning curve. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included subjects who underwent bimaxillary surgery between 2016 and 2020 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen. 3D virtual surgical planning (VSP) was performed with CBCT data and digitalized dentition data. By using voxel-based matching with pre- and postoperative CBCT data the maxillary movements were quantified in six degrees of freedom. The primary outcome variable, surgical accuracy, was defined as the difference between the planned and achieved maxillary movement. RESULTS Based on 124 subjects, the surgical accuracy increased annually from 2016 to 2020 in terms of vertical translations (0.82 ± 0.28 mm; p = 0.038) and yaw rotations (0.68 ± 0.22°; p = 0.028). An increase in surgical accuracy was observed when combining all six degrees of freedom (p = 0.021) and specifically between 2016 and 2020 (p = 0.004). An unfavorable learning curve was seen with posterior impaction and with a greater magnitude of movements. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated a significant increase in surgical accuracy annually and therefore supports the presence of a learning curve. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Cases with planned maxillary posterior impaction and/or a great magnitude of jaw movements should be transferred from the 3D VSP with extra care to obtain a satisfactory surgical accuracy.

Accuracy of Segmented Le Fort I Osteotomy with Virtual Planning in Orthognathic Surgery Using Patient-Specific Implants: A Case Series. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195495. [PMID: 36233363 PMCID: PMC9572233 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: When maxillary transversal expansion is needed, two protocols of treatment can be used: a maxillary orthodontic expansion followed by a classical bimaxillary osteotomy or a bimaxillary osteotomy with maxillary segmentation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy using computer-aided orthognathic surgery and patient-specific titanium plates in patients who underwent a bimaxillary osteotomy for occlusal trouble with maxillary transversal insufficiencies. Methods: A virtual simulation of a Le Fort I osteotomy with maxillary segmentation, a sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and genioplasty (if needed) was conducted on a preoperative three-dimensional (3D) model of each patient’s skull using ProPlan CMF 3.0 software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Computer-assisted osteotomy saw-and-drill guides and patient-specific implants (PSIs, titanium plates) were produced and used during the surgery. We chose to focus on the maxillary repositioning accuracy by comparing the preoperative virtual surgical planning and the postoperative 3D outcome skulls using surface superimpositions and 13 standard dental and bone landmarks. Errors between these preoperative and postoperative landmarks were calculated and compared to discover if segmental maxillary repositioning using PSIs was accurate enough to be safely used to treat transversal insufficiencies. Results: A total of 22 consecutive patients—15 females and 7 males, with a mean age of 27.4 years—who underwent bimaxillary computer-assisted orthognathic surgery with maxillary segmentation were enrolled in the study. All patients presented with occlusion trouble, 13 with Class III malocclusions (59%) and 9 (41%) with Class II malocclusions. A quantitative analysis revealed that, overall, the mean absolute discrepancies for the x-axis (transversal dimension), y-axis (anterior−posterior dimensions), and z-axis (vertical dimension) were 0.59 mm, 0.74 mm, and 0.56 mm, respectively. The total error rate of maxillary repositioning was 0.62 mm between the postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the preoperatively planned 3D skull. According to the literature, precision in maxilla repositioning is defined by an error rate (clinically relevant) at each landmark of <2 mm and a total error of <2 mm for each patient. Conclusions: A high degree of accuracy between the virtual plan and the postoperative result was observed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Asymmetry of the lips severely affects facial esthetics and is often one of the chief complaints of orthognathic patients, especially those with Class III malocclusion. The objectives of this study were to investigate the changes in lip symmetry in patients with mandibular prognathism and deviation and the relationships between jaw hard tissue and lip soft-tissue changes. METHODS Three-dimensional facial scan and cone-beam computed tomography scan data of 30 orthodontic-orthognathic patients treated with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy were combined to conduct the research. Paired-sample t test and Pearson correlation coefficient were applied to compare the differences in the same variable before and after the orthognathic surgery and the potential correlations between the changes in hard and soft variables. To explore the important hard tissue variables influencing the lip soft-tissue changes, linear regression analysis was performed. RESULTS Although there was significant upper lip asymmetry presurgery, the upper lip asymmetry was corrected postsurgery. Surgical correction of the mandibular deviation was also accompanied by lengthening of the bilateral philtrum crests. Improvement in lip asymmetry and lengthening of the philtrum crests were primarily related to the transverse correction of the mandible rather than sagittal changes. The corresponding prediction formulas were established. CONCLUSIONS The isolated mandibular bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy surgery can substantially improve the upper and lower lip asymmetry in patients with mandibular prognathism and deviation, but one should be wary of the unesthetic effects associated with lengthening of the philtrum crests.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess reliability of cone-beam CT (CBCT) for nasolabial soft tissue measurements in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion based on 3-dimensional (3D) facial scanner results. METHODS CBCT and 3D facial scan images of 20 orthognathic patients are used in this study. Eleven soft tissue landmarks and 15 linear and angular measurements are identified and performed. For qualitative evaluation, Shapiro-Wilk test and Bland-Altman plots are applied to analyze the equivalence of the measurements derived from these two kinds of images. To quantify specific deviation of CBCT measurements from facial scanner, the latter is set as a benchmark, and mean absolute difference (MAD) and relative error magnitude (REM) for each variable are also calculated. RESULTS Statistically significant differences are observed in regions of nasal base and lower lip vermilion between two methods. MAD value for all length measurements are less than 2 mm and for angular variables < 8°. The average MAD and REM for length measurements are 0.94 mm and 5.64%, and for angular measurements are 2.27° and 3.78%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The soft tissue results measured by CBCT show relatively good reliability and can be used for 3D measurement of soft tissue in the nasolabial region clinically.

Abstract
Virtual surgery planning is a non-invasive procedure, which uses digital clinical data for diagnostic, procedure selection and treatment planning purposes, including the forecast of potential outcomes. The technique begins with 3D data acquisition, using various methods, which may or may not utilize ionizing radiation, such as 3D stereophotogrammetry, 3D cone-beam CT scans, etc. Regardless of the imaging technique selected, landmark selection, whether it is manual or automated, is the key to transforming clinical data into objects that can be interrogated in virtual space. As a prerequisite, the data require alignment and correspondence such that pre- and post-operative configurations can be compared in real and statistical shape space. In addition, these data permit predictive modeling, using either model-based, data-based or hybrid modeling. These approaches provide perspectives for the development of customized surgical procedures and medical devices with accuracy, precision and intelligence. Therefore, this review briefly summarizes the current state of virtual surgery planning.

What Do We Know Beyond Reliability in Voxel-Based Registration? Validation of the Accuracy of Regional Voxel-Based Registration (R-VBR) Techniques for Orthognathic Surgery Analysis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 80:296-302. [PMID: 34758348 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Despite having excellent reproducibility, the accuracy of regional voxel-based registration (R-VBR) techniques used for postoperative orthognathic surgical analysis has not been validated. The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy of R-VBR. METHODS Preoperative (T0) and postoperative (T1) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of consecutive patients treated at a single center with nonsegmental LeFort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy were included. T1 CBCTs were oriented to match that of the standardized T0, and thus were assigned a known rotational transformation matrix in pitch/roll/yaw (P/R/Y), to create T1'. A copy of T1 (cT1) was made and was superimposed to T1' using R-VBR for 4 regions of interest (ROI): maxilla, distal mandible, right proximal mandible, and left proximal mandible, to create cT1'. The transformation matrix for each of the ROI was compared to those of T1' using paired t test and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS Twenty-eight eligible subjects' CBCTs were analyzed. Mean difference between T1' and cT1' ranged from -0.08 to 0.14° (maximum 0.73°), with no statistically significant differences (P = 0.216 to 1). Mean absolute difference ranged from 0.13 to 0.31° (maximum 0.73°). Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement between T1' and cT1', indicating excellent accuracy. CONCLUSIONS R-VBR using the maxilla, distal mandible, and the bilateral proximal mandibular segments as ROI has excellent accuracy in terms of rotational measurements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The planning accuracy and stability during follow-up of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy, often evaluated using 2D cephalometry and dental cast analysis, is controversial. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a 3D semi-automatic, voxel-based registration assessment protocol to evaluate planning accuracy and stability of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy with individualization of the maxillary segments. METHODS Preoperative, immediate postoperative and six months postoperative CBCT images were used to evaluate accuracy and stability of the individual segments in 20 patients (13 female; 7 male) who underwent segmented Le Fort I osteotomy. Three translational (left/right, intrusion/extrusion, anterior/posterior) and three rotational (pitch, roll, yaw) dimensions were calculated for each maxillary segment by means of a user-friendly module. Inter- and intra-observer Inter Class Coefficient (ICC) and mean absolute difference (MAD) were calculated. RESULTS The inter- and intra-observer reliability ICC varied between 0.93 and 0.99 for the translational and rotational accuracy and stability assessments, indicating excellent reliability. The MAD ranged between 0.21 mm and 0.32 mm for the translational error and between 0.6° and 0.9° for the rotational dimension. CONCLUSIONS The 3D assessment protocol for accuracy of segmented Le Fort I planning and short-term follow-up, proved to have high reliability with only a small margin of error. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The proposed 3D assessment protocol allows future in-depth analysis of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy and might implicate future improvement where necessary.
