Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Maxillary posterior tooth defects can be repaired using the dental implant. However, implantation accuracy is not ensured by traditional plaster models used as implant template, which leads to the incidence of complications, and affects the repair effects.
OBJECTIVE: To study application effects of surgical guide plates designed using the computer aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM) technology for the repair of maxillary posterior tooth defects.
METHODS: Implant treatment was performed in 30 patients with maxillary posterior tooth defects. Surgical guide plate was made using the CAD/CAM technology after CT scan of the jaw bone. The repair was conducted with guide plate assistant. The deviation between the virtual and actual implant position was measured after implantation. The clinical repair effects and periodontal tissues were observed during the 12-month follow-up.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Thirty-six CAD/CAM surgical guide plates in 30 patients were stabilized after implantation. Thirty-six implants were emplaced precisely with the assist of the surgical guide plates. There was no any problem during the process of implantation. The deviation of the head between the virtual and actual implant position was very small, which did not affect the accuracy of implant placement. Before and 6 and 12 months after the repair, gingival crevicular fluid, tumor necrosis factor-α, and sulcus bleeding index were not obviously changed in the patients. Our results suggest that the implant head deviation and angle deviation appear during the repair process of maxillary posterior tooth defects using CAD/CAM surgical guide for dental implants; however, the implantation accuracy is not affected. The repair effect is ideal and periodontal tissue is in good status after implantation.
