Elgarba BM, Fontenele RC, Tarce M, Jacobs R. Artificial intelligence serving pre-surgical digital implant planning: A scoping review. J Dent 2024; 143:104862. [PMID: 38336018 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.104862] [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: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To conduct a scoping review focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications in presurgical dental implant planning. Additionally, to assess the automation degree of clinically available pre-surgical implant planning software. DATA AND SOURCES A systematic electronic literature search was performed in five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus), along with exploring gray literature web-based resources until November 2023. English-language studies on AI-driven tools for digital implant planning were included based on an independent evaluation by two reviewers. An assessment of automation steps in dental implant planning software available on the market up to November 2023 was also performed. STUDY SELECTION AND RESULTS From an initial 1,732 studies, 47 met eligibility criteria. Within this subset, 39 studies focused on AI networks for anatomical landmark-based segmentation, creating virtual patients. Eight studies were dedicated to AI networks for virtual implant placement. Additionally, a total of 12 commonly available implant planning software applications were identified and assessed for their level of automation in pre-surgical digital implant workflows. Notably, only six of these featured at least one fully automated step in the planning software, with none possessing a fully automated implant planning protocol. CONCLUSIONS AI plays a crucial role in achieving accurate, time-efficient, and consistent segmentation of anatomical landmarks, serving the process of virtual patient creation. Additionally, currently available systems for virtual implant placement demonstrate different degrees of automation. It is important to highlight that, as of now, full automation of this process has not been documented nor scientifically validated. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Scientific and clinical validation of AI applications for presurgical dental implant planning is currently scarce. The present review allows the clinician to identify AI-based automation in presurgical dental implant planning and assess the potential underlying scientific validation.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:7013. [PMID: 38002627 PMCID: PMC10671913 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227013] [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: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Vertical ridge augmentation is a demanding and technique-sensitive surgical procedure. In the present case series, cone beam CT (CBCT) scans from the clinical routine of patients treated using a novel approach for vertical bone augmentation were assessed. All patients showed a single-tooth class 5 defect and were treated using a modification of the original shell technique. Cortical bone plates were replaced with a lamina composed of a partially demineralized porcine xenograft. CBCT scans of six consecutive patients were treated with the lamina and particulate bone from the mandibular ramus prior to a single tooth implant in the anterior maxilla were included. Pre- and postsurgical CBCT data sets were superimposed and analyzed digitally using surface matching and Boolean subtraction. The volume of the grafted area was calculated with and without the xenograft. The vertical gain of the ridge height measured in this case series varied from 7 to 11.3 mm. The mean vertical gain was 8.97 mm. The mean volume including the xenograft was 382.59 mm3 (SD 73.39) and 250.84 mm3 (SD 53.67) without the lamina. The modified shell technique used in this case series for the vertical augmentation of single-tooth class 5 defects provided sufficient bone for single implant restorations.

Accuracy of markerless registration methods of DICOM and STL files used for computerized surgical guides in mandibles with metal restorations: An in vitro study. J Prosthet Dent 2022:S0022-3913(22)00636-9. [PMID: 36372586 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) files together with surface scans must be accurately registered in virtual implant planning software programs to match real-life dimensions and ensure correct plan transfer through computer-aided manufactured surgical guides. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3 different registration methods of DICOM data with and without metal restorations and a metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool for surface scans. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirteen dentate mandibles were assigned to each group of this study (n=39). Baseplate wax was adapted to the bone surfaces of each mandible, and 5 radiopaque markers were attached. A desktop scanner was used to obtain control scans. The groups of metal-free mandibles (MFM) and mandibles with metal restorations (MRM) were scanned to obtain DICOM data without a MAR tool. Additional DICOM data for the MRM were obtained with the MAR tool (MRM-MAR). Point-based registration (PBR), best-fit registration (BFR), and automatic registration (AR) were used to align standard tessellation language (STL) and DICOM data, and 3 data sets were exported. Radiographic markers on each data set were compared with those on the control scan, and positional deviations were calculated and statistically evaluated with 1-way ANOVA followed by multiple pairwise comparisons, independent samples t test, and 2-way ANOVA (α=.05). RESULTS Within each group, PBR had the lowest deviation values with statistical significance in the MFM and the MRM-MAR groups (P<.001). AR showed failure in the MRM and the MRM-MAR groups. Statistically significant differences were found on comparing the average deviations among the 3 groups for PBR only (P<.001). No association was found between deviation values and the presence or absence of metal restoration, while a positive association was found with the type of registration method (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS PBR had the highest accuracy level compared with AR and BFR methods. An increase in the number of calculations resulted in more deviation values. The MAR tool had a positive effect on PBR in mandibles with metal restorations.

J Dent 2021; 117:103925. [PMID: 34929339 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2021.103925] [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: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this in-vitro study was to compare the virtual techniques for registering single-implant position to the physical gold standard using a universal-coordinate system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty dentate maxillary resin models with a dental implant inserted in the incisor region were prepared. On each model, a tooth-supported acrylic stent with a 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm cubic-corner (CC) was prepared. The Cartesian x,y,z-coordinate of the implant neck and apex were measured physically by a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) with reference to this CC and served as the gold-standard. The resin models were scanned by a benchtop scanner (Group BS), cone-beam computed tomography (Group CBCT), and intraoral scanner (Group IOS). Stone casts, poured from open-tray polyether impression of the resin models, were scanned by the benchtop scanner (Group BS-cast). The implant neck and apex coordinates with reference to the CC were measured and the differences in the coordinates (∆x, ∆y, ∆z) and distance r from the gold standard were calculated. The data were analyzed by one-sample t-test and one-way ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis test with the level of significance set at 0.05. RESULTS The implant neck and apex positions of Group BS were statistically different from that of the CMM, r>0 (p<0.001). Group IOS showed a significant less ∆z and r at the implant neck than Group BS-cast (p = 0.006). No significant difference was found in the coordinates and distance at implant apex among Groups BS, CBCT, IOS and BS-cast. CONCLUSIONS The physical measurements could be adopted as the gold standard in assessing the single-implant positions. The IOS was more accurate in registering the single-implant neck positions than scanning of the cast. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE A universal-coordinate system defined by the cubic-corner allows comparing the virtual techniques in registering single-implant positions to the physical gold standard.

HUA XI KOU QIANG YI XUE ZA ZHI = HUAXI KOUQIANG YIXUE ZAZHI = WEST CHINA JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY 2021; 39:386-397.

Abstract
The correct implant site design and placement are the basic clinical techniques that must be known for implant restoration. For a long time, most implants have been placed by free hands, and the choice of site is mostly dependent on the accumulation of long-term experience of the surgeon. The selection of implant site guided by this experience analogy logic is often based on the surgeon's level of experience,which often makes it very easy to produce complications related to the implant restoration of the incorrect site. In contrast, a clinical program using digital guidance and real-time measurable verification has emerged based on the restoration-oriented implantation concept, which marks the formation of an accurate, measurable and verifiable whole-process digital implant prototype. Furthermore, from the perspective of surveying, the numerical requirements that digital implant restoration relies on are actually incomplete to the four elements of measurement, which leading to the doubts about its authenticity. This article will question the numbers in implant restoration, and conduct a preliminary demonstration, and propose a new reliable actual measurement and verification method of the correct location and the numerical requirements of the restoration space and a new clinical program that relies on numbers from the perspective of the evolution of digital restoration, guided implantology and actual measurement technology. And this article further discusses the current mainstream implant restoration technology based on experience analogy which cannot effectively support the whole process of digital implant restoration and provides a new logical cognitive basis for the final realization of the entire process of digital implant restoration.

Abstract
Artifacts from metal restorations can make it challenging or impossible to accurately orient a digital dental cast to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan data for virtual implant planning. A dual scan technique is described that uses an alginate impression with fiducial markers in a stock tray to create a digital dental cast that is precisely oriented to the scan in the same patient coordinate system for surgical guide design.

Abstract
The point-based surface registration method involves the manual selection process of paired matching points on the data of computed tomography and optical scan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of selection error and distribution of fiducial points on the accuracy of image matching between 3-dimensional (3D) images in dental planning software programs. Computed tomography and optical scan images of a partial edentulous dental arch were obtained. Image registration of the optical scan image to computed tomography was performed using the point-based surface registration method in planning software programs under different conditions of 3 fiducial points: point selection error (0, 1, or 2 mm), point distribution (unilateral, bilateral), and planning software (Implant Studio, Blue Bio Plan) (n = 5 per condition, N = 60). The accuracy of image registration at each condition was evaluated by measuring linear discrepancies between matched images at X, Y, and Z axes. Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction, and 3-way analysis of variance were used to statistically analyse the measurement data (α = 0.05). No statistically significant difference was exhibited between the 0 and 1 mm point mismatch conditions in either unilateral or bilateral point distributions. The discrepancy values in the 2 mm mismatch condition were significantly different from the other mismatch conditions, especially in the unilateral point distribution (P < 0.05). Strong interactions among point selection error, distribution, and software programs on the image registration were found (P < 0.001). Minor matching point selection error did not influence the accuracy of point-based automatic image registration in the software programs. When the fiducial points are distributed unilaterally with large point selection error, the image matching accuracy could be decreased.

Abstract
PURPOSE The image registration of optical scans to radiographic images is essential for performing computer-guided implant surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different image matching conditions on the accuracy of image registration for computer-guided implant surgery in completely edentulous jaws. MATERIALS AND METHODS The optical scan image of a completely edentulous study model was registered to the respective cone-beam computed tomography data using three different image matching conditions: small point (SP), large point (LP), and entire surface (ES). For the SP and LP groups, gutta-percha markers (1.0 and 3.0 mm in diameter) were attached to a base template, and a radiopaque impression material was relined on the intaglio surface of template in the ES group. Image registration was performed by 20 operators in the images obtained from each group at an interval of 2 weeks (n = 20 in each group), and the registration accuracy was assessed by calculating the aligned position of the edentulous arch image. One-way analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc tests was used to compare the results among the groups (α = 0.05). RESULTS The mean registration error was significantly larger in the SP group (0.52 ± 0.19 mm) than in the LP group (0.29 ± 0.08 mm) and ES group (0.27 ±0.06 mm) (F = 24.689, p < 0.001). No difference was found between the LP and ES groups. The image matching discrepancy was more homogeneously distributed on the arch in the ES group than in the other groups. CONCLUSION The accuracy of image registration is affected by the size of the congruent area shown in the optical scan and radiographic images. The entire surface-based matching method is more accurate as compared to the small point-based matching method in the image registration for implant planning in full edentulous jaws.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of the measurement of palatal mucosa thickness using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to create a conversion formula to evaluate palatal mucosa thickness more accurately. We then evaluated the palatal mucosa thickness in a Japanese population using CBCT and the conversion formula. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated palatal mucosa thickness in 10 healthy subjects at 15 sites using CBCT, digital impression, and K file. Multiple regression analysis was performed to create a conversion formula to measure thickness accurately. We then obtained CBCT data from 174 patients retrospectively, applied the conversion formula, and evaluated palatal mucosa thickness. RESULTS Sites of measurement affected measurement error. Measurement using CBCT was 0.34 ± 0.04 mm smaller than actual measurement; therefore, a conversion formula was created. Male, age ≥60 years, and probing pocket depth ≥4 mm had significant and positive associations with palatal mucosa thickness; however, no association was observed between bleeding on probing and palatal mucosa thickness. CONCLUSION CBCT is useful for the noninvasive and accurate measurement of palatal mucosa thickness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most frequently used medical imaging methods. An important application area of CT is dental implants, which require precise inspection and analysis of oral structures. Since CT provides a precise 3D model of the teeth, bones and nerves, it can be used as a surgical guide for dental implants. Along with CT, optical 3D images called stereolithography (STL) have also been widely used. STL images obtained from optical 3D images can be used to show the 3D surfaces of oral structures. Since CT data and STL data deploy different technologies to obtain dental information, we can obtain more accurate dental implants by combining the two datasets. Since the two datasets are acquired by using different sensors, the datasets need to be registered. METHODS An automatic matching algorithm is proposed for CT and STL image registration, which is based on depth maps and maximum intensity projection. Then, fine tuning was performed based on volume matching. RESULTS When applied to real-world databases, the proposed method provided an average matching error of 2.7 mm for the upper jaw and 2.3 mm for the lower jaw with an average processing time of about 19 s. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method performs accurate registration of CT and STL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of a prosthetic treatment plan incorporation into a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan using point-based registration with three registration points selected and to evaluate the impact of number of registration points on prosthetic plan accuracy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A CBCT scan of a completely dentate master model with removable teeth was exposed after removing the mandibular left first premolar, second premolar, and first molar. A digital scan of the master model with all teeth present was made by scanning a stone replica using a laboratory scanner. The digital model was registered onto the three-dimensional (3D) volume rendering of the CBCT scan using implant planning software. The point-based registration was repeated using three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10 reference points. Metrology software was used to measure the 3D deviation of the registered models for each reference point group on standard tessellation language (STL) files obtained from the CBCT scans. An STL file of the master model with all teeth present obtained from another CBCT scan was used as reference. RESULTS Using three registration points, the registered prosthetic plan had a mean absolute deviation of 17.63 µm from the reference. Increasing the number of registration points failed to demonstrate statistically significant effects on the deviation (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS For this clinical scenario, three registration points provided adequate accuracy for prosthetic plan incorporation into CBCT scans. Increasing the number of registration points had no significant impact on the prosthetic plan accuracy in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The perfect position and axis of an implant is often limited by the morphology of the alveolar ridge, especially in Asians. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency at which ideal implant placement position in the anterior maxilla of Chinese Asians would require facial bone augmentation given by an initial facial bone profile. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implants were virtually placed in 303 sites without tooth loss in the anterior maxilla. The incidence and characters of implant facial plate fenestration were analyzed. If there was no facial fenestration, the thinnest buccal plate (TB) amount adjacent to the implant was measured and recorded. RESULTS A total of 79 (26.07%) sites showed fenestrations. The mean length, width, and area of exposure in the fenestration sites were 2.94 ± 1.67 mm, 1.52 ± 0.97 mm, and 2.84 ± 3.13 mm2 , respectively. In the nonfenestrated sites, the TB of facial bone around the virtual implants was 1.10 ± 0.78 mm. Among the 224 nonfenestrated sites, 126 sites had a TB of less than 1 mm. CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that the initial facial bone profile should be considered when designing restorations and choosing an optimal implant position in the anterior maxilla.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to identify, review, analyze, and summarize available evidence on the accuracy of linear measurements when using maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) specifically in the field of implant dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS The search was undertaken in April 2017 in the National Library of Medicine database (Medline) through its online site (PubMed), followed by searches in the Cochrane, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis databases. The main inclusion criterion for studies was that linear CBCT measurements were performed for quantitative assessment (e.g., height, width) of the alveolar bone at edentulous sites or measuring distances from anatomical structures related to implant dentistry. The studies should compare these values to clinical data (humans) or ex vivo and/or experimental (animal) findings from a "gold standard." RESULTS The initial search yielded 2,516 titles. In total, 22 studies were included in the final analysis. Of those, two were clinical and 20 ex vivo investigations. The major findings of the review indicate that CBCT provides cross-sectional images that demonstrate high accuracy and reliability for bony linear measurements on cross-sectional images related to implant treatment. A wide range of error has been reported when performing linear measurements on CBCT images, with both over- and underestimation of dimensions in comparison with a gold standard. A voxel size of 0.3 to 0.4 mm is adequate to provide CBCT images of acceptable diagnostic quality for implant treatment planning. CONCLUSIONS CBCT can be considered as an appropriate diagnostic tool for 3D preoperative planning. Nevertheless, a 2 mm safety margin to adjacent anatomic structures should be considered when using CBCT. In clinical practice, the measurement accuracy and reliability of linear measurements on CBCT images are most likely reduced through factors such as patient motion, metallic artefacts, device-specific exposure parameters, the software used, and manual vs. automated procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In implant dentistry, three-dimensional (3D) imaging can be realised by dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), offering volumetric data on jaw bones and teeth with relatively low radiation doses and costs. The latter may explain why the market has been steadily growing since the first dental CBCT system appeared two decades ago. More than 85 different CBCT devices are currently available and this exponential growth has created a gap between scientific evidence and existing CBCT machines. Indeed, research for one CBCT machine cannot be automatically applied to other systems. METHODS Supported by a narrative review, recommendations for justified and optimized CBCT imaging in oral implant dentistry are provided. RESULTS The huge range in dose and diagnostic image quality requires further optimization and justification prior to clinical use. Yet, indications in implant dentistry may go beyond diagnostics. In fact, the inherent 3D datasets may further allow surgical planning and transfer to surgery via 3D printing or navigation. Nonetheless, effective radiation doses of distinct dental CBCT machines and protocols may largely vary with equivalent doses ranging between 2 to 200 panoramic radiographs, even for similar indications. Likewise, such variation is also noticed for diagnostic image quality, which reveals a massive variability amongst CBCT technologies and exposure protocols. For anatomical model making, the so-called segmentation accuracy may reach up to 200 μm, but considering wide variations in machine performance, larger inaccuracies may apply. This also holds true for linear measures, with accuracies of 200 μm being feasible, while sometimes fivefold inaccuracy levels may be reached. Diagnostic image quality may also be dramatically hampered by patient factors, such as motion and metal artefacts. Apart from radiodiagnostic possibilities, CBCT may offer a huge therapeutic potential, related to surgical guides and further prosthetic rehabilitation. Those additional opportunities may surely clarify part of the success of using CBCT for presurgical implant planning and its transfer to surgery and prosthetic solutions. CONCLUSIONS Hence, dental CBCT could be justified for presurgical diagnosis, preoperative planning and peroperative transfer for oral implant rehabilitation, whilst striving for optimisation of CBCT based machine-dependent, patient-specific and indication-oriented variables.

Abstract
Implant dentistry has become a common treatment alternative, yet only a small percentage of patients missing teeth are receiving its benefits. Significant limitations are the small percent of practitioners placing implants due to the long learning curve, as well as the time commitment on the part of the patient. This proof of concept demonstrates clinical implant treatment requiring years of manual skill development on the part of the surgeon, restorative dentist, and technician can be accomplished in 2 visits, completely digitally, without the need for conventional impressions, laboratory procedures, and advanced manual skills. This technique results in reduced learning curve and treatment time. The first visit consists of consultation, diagnosis, CT and optical surface scans of the implant site to include: soft tissue, adjacent teeth, and opposing arch. This digital information is imported and interactively reconstructed in a 3-D open format implant planning software. The implant and restoration are now precisely planned into the optimal bone position with the ideal emergence profile for biologically and esthetically designed restoration. This information is then electronically forwarded to a production facility, where all necessary models are digitally printed and the immediate crown is digitally milled. On the second visit, the patient returns for guided implant insertion and immediate restoration. As digital procedures are refined, many more dental professionals will become involved in providing implant therapy earlier in their careers. This promises to result in reduced costs, making implants available to millions more patients who could benefit from them.

Abstract
Cone-beam computed tomography imaging and 3-dimensional (3D) computer software allows for greatly enhanced visualization of bone, critical anatomy, and restorative plans. These systems allow clinicians to digitally process 3D images and restorative templates, facilitating dental implant planning. This article highlights the use of contemporary methods of digital assessment combined with traditional restorative philosophies to allow the clinician to plan implant positions based on "crown-down" clinical requirements. This approach permits clinicians to have more control over the implant treatment plan by creating ideal, virtual restorations and managing implant positions based on the virtual plan with simplified, cost-effective techniques.

Virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery using digital data transfer and an intraoral fiducial marker: the charlotte method. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2014; 73:1143-58.

Abstract
PURPOSE We describe an alternative workup protocol for virtual surgical planning of orthognathic surgery using an intraoral fiducial marker, clinical photography, and the digital transfer of occlusal data. We also discuss our initial experience using this protocol in a series of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed of consecutive patients who had undergone combined maxillary and mandibular osteotomies for the correction of dentofacial deformities at 1 center. These patients underwent treatment planning using the modified virtual surgical planning protocol described in the present report. The primary outcome evaluated was the accuracy of the method, which was determined through superimposition of the surgical plan to the postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. The secondary outcomes included the accuracy of the natural head position readings and the adequacy of the CBCT scanned stone models for the fabrication of occlusal splints. RESULTS The population included 25 patients. The root mean standard deviation (RMSD) from the preoperative plan to the postoperative scan at the maxillary cephalometric points was 1.2, 1.4, and 2.1 mm in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes, respectively. The RMSD of the superimposed plan to the postoperative scan at the 3 mandibular cephalometric points was 1.2, 0.8, and 0.7 mm in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes, respectively. The average variance from the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes for the natural head position was 0.05, 2.22, and 0.69 mm, respectively. All splints fabricated from the CBCT occlusal data fit the stone models and were used intraoperatively. In the subset of patients whose models were both digitally transferred and laser scanned, the superimposition of the laser scan data to the CBCT scanned data was found to have a maximum variation of 0.2 mm at the occlusal level. CONCLUSIONS The use of an intraoral fiducial marker changed the workflow for the data collection needed for virtual surgical planning of the correction of dentofacial deformities, while still obtaining accurate results. Because the device does not cause lip distortion, the possibility of virtually predicting a more expectant postoperative lip position exists without the need for additional scans. Furthermore, this work flow allows the transfer of data to be isolated to digital media.

Abstract
Cone beam computed tomography has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and planning for implant dentistry. New hardware and software developments have emerged to help implant surgeons to successfully adopt and use different systems in patients requiring prosthetically driven implant dentistry. However, there is the need to develop an adequate planning protocol that includes appropriate acquisition/data manipulation, appropriate use of software tools for interpretation, and appropriate application of such systems during implant surgery. This article examines essential characteristics of the entire implant-guided surgery planning process and points out potential sources of error that could affect clinical accuracy outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The initial stability and survival rate of orthodontic mini-implants are highly dependent on the amount of cortical bone at their insertion site. In areas with limited bone availability, mini-plates are preferred to provide effective skeletal anchorage. The purpose of this paper was to present a new clinical technique for the insertion of mini-plates. METHODS In order to apply this new technique, a cone-beam image of the insertion area is required. A software (Galaxy Sirona, Bensheim, Germany) is used to construct a three-dimensional image of the scanned area and to virtually determine the exact location of the mini-plate as well as the position of the fixation screws. A stereolithographic model (STL) is then created by means of a three-dimensional scanner.Prior to its surgical insertion, the bone plate is adapted to the stereo-lithographic model. Finally, a custom transfer jig is fabricated in order to assist with accurate placement of the mini-plate intra-operatively. RESULTS The presented technique minimizes intra-operative decision making, because the final position of the bone plate is determined pre-surgically. This significantly reduces the duration of the surgical procedure and improves its outcome. CONCLUSIONS A novel method for surgical placement of orthodontic mini-plates is presented. The technique facilitates accurate adaptation of mini-plates and insertion of retaining surgical screws; thereby enabling clinicians to more confidently increase the use of bone plates, especially in anatomical areas where the success of non-osseointegrated mini-screws is less favorable.
