Aplication of digitally modified fence technique in vertical bone reconstruction
Abstract
Objective To propose a digitally modified and guided bone regeneration technique supported by a nonabsorbable titanium plate and explore its effect on vertical bone regeneration. Methods A total of 8 patients with severe vertical bone defects in the edentulous area who wanted to be treated with implants were included in this study. A digitally modified and guided bone regeneration technique supported by a nonabsorbable titanium plate (fence technique) was used for bone augmentation. The patient's jaw, dentition, and soft tissue data were obtained for prosthetically guided implantation and bone regeneration. After virtual bone augmentation, a model of the jaw was obtained through 3D printing technology, and the titanium plate was bent accordingly. The virtual design was transformed through the template (including the base template and the attachment of a periosteal screw and bone block), so the actual osteogenesis space consistent with the design could be realized in the operation. Guided bone regeneration was performed according to the improved procedure and technical process. After 6 ~ 8 months of bone augmentation, cone beam CT was taken to evaluate the effect of bone augmentation. The implant was implanted according to the initial implant design, and bone tissue was obtained for HE and Masson staining. Results After 6 ~ 8 months of bone augmentation, the vertical linear bone increment reached (5.44 ± 1.73) mm. The implant was implanted according to the initial implant design, and the bone tissue was obtained for histological examination to show the formation of new bone. Conclusion Digital improved fence technique can simplify the preoperative and surgical procedures, and obtain good vertical bone augmentation results. In short, it is a kind of vertical bone augmentation technique worth popularizing and applying.
