Three-dimensional measurement of radiographic bone–implant contact lengths of zygomatic implants in zygomatic bone: a retrospective study of 66 implants in 28 patients

Zygomatic implant treatment is widely applied for severe maxillary atrophy to help rehabilitate the maxillary dentition. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the actual radiographic bone–implant contact (rBIC) lengths of zygomatic implants. The records of 28 patients who underwent zygomatic implant surgery and subsequent follow-up examinations between August 2013 and September 2018 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital were reviewed. The surgeries were performed by a single surgeon using the same treatment protocol. All patients had a computed tomography scan at 1 year after the surgery. Using three-dimensional imaging software, an investigator measured the rBIC lengths of 66 implants and documented their clinical status. The implant survival rate was 100%. The mean rBIC length was significantly longer in male patients than in female patients (20.80 ± 5.88 mm versus 17.79 ± 6.34 mm; P = 0.028). The mean rBIC length of double zygomatic implants was significantly longer when compared to that of single implants (21.11 ± 6.23 mm versus 17.75 ± 5.85 mm; P = 0.027). This article is novel in reporting the exact rBIC lengths of zygomatic implants in a clinical setting. The results showed that zygomatic implants are a viable treatment modality for full-mouth rehabilitation.     

眶周小切口在颧骨颧弓骨折中的应用

目的探讨下睑缘和眉弓及前庭切口在颧骨骨折中的应用.方法本组42例额骨复合体骨折患者,采用睑下缘、眉弓外1/3及上颌前庭切口充分暴露骨折线,使颧颌段、眶下缘、颧颞段及颧牙槽嵴充分复位,选用合适的微型钛板行坚强内固定.结果42例患者伤口均一期愈合,经3月~2 a复诊,外形和功能恢复良好,局部无明显瘢痕遗留.结论局部眶周小切口行颧骨骨折复位并作坚强内固定,创伤小,径路短,能有效恢复颧部外形和口腔功能.     

Use of Mono Cortical Screws as an Aid to Zygomatic Complex Fracture Reduction

Introduction

Zygomatic complex fractures by virtue of its anatomic area poses a great challenge in reduction of the fracture. Uses of various methods have been mentioned in English literature.

Method

A new technique describing the use of reduction screw with a self-holding screwdriver in reduction of the zygomatic complex fracture.

Conclusion

We found the method to be simple and effective and recommend its application in daily practice.     

Use of N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate (Glubran2?) in Fractures of Orbital-Maxillo-Zygomatic Complex

Introduction

Fractures of the orbital-maxillo-zygomatic complex are among the most common fractures affecting the facial skeleton. Goal of surgical treatment is the realignment of fracture lines for a complete functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.

Materials and Methods

From January 2008 to January 2011 in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of Complesso Integrato Columbus of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome, 25 patients, affected by comminute fractures of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus associated with fractures of the orbital-maxillary complex were selected. The synthesis of the larger fracture fragments was performed by plates and screws (1.5 mm) while a biocompatible glue (N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate–Glubran2^®) was applied to treat the comminute fractures of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus.

Results and Conclusion

The aim of our article is to report our experience and a review of the literature on application of–Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate for treatment of comminute fractures of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus. According to the results achieved in our study the N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate can be indicated to treat comminuted fractures of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus which could not easily be treated with internal rigid fixation.     

交叉专科护理在颧骨复合体骨折患者中的应用分析

目的:分析交叉专科护理在颧骨复合体骨折患者治疗中的作用价值,为后续临床护理提供方法参考.方法:25例颧骨复合体骨折患者于2017年1月-2019年1月期间在我科室接受治疗,患者围术期均采取眼科及口科的交叉专科护理,分析护理效果.结果:25例患者术后颜面情况恢复良好,术后并发症较少;随访6个月后患者眼球内陷等状况改善,咬合状况良好.结论:颧骨复合体骨折临床治疗中采取交叉专科治疗可明显提高治疗效果,降低术后并发症发生率,具有临床推广价值.     

成人不同垂直骨面型颧牙槽嵴区骨皮质密度分析

目的 通过三维重建技术对成人颧牙槽嵴区骨皮质密度进行测量分析,比较不同骨面型间颧牙槽嵴区骨皮质密度以及不同位点间骨皮质密度的差异。方法 选取成人患者螺旋 CT 图像60例（男28例,女32例）进行三维重建,根据下颌平面角( FH-MP) 的大小分为低角、均角、高角3组,分别测量上颌左侧颧牙槽嵴区不同层面基准线上方13、15、17 mm处的骨皮质密度,采用 SPSS 17.0软件包进行数据分析。结果 颧牙槽嵴区骨密度在性别之间无统计学差异;在不同垂直骨面型间存在统计学差异（P<0.05),其中,低角组[(1331.65±185.70) HU]的骨密度最高,高角组[(1245.62±207.63) HU]最低;在不同垂直骨面型组的不同位点之间骨密度存在统计学差异（P<0.05),各组骨密度的集中区域是,高角组位于第一磨牙近中颊根层面,均角组位于近、远中颊根之间,低角组位于第一磨牙远中颊根层面。结论 成人不同垂直骨面型间颧牙槽嵴区骨皮质的密度以及位点分布存在显著差异,该研究为成人选择微种植支抗钉的适宜部位,保证正畸治疗中支抗钉的稳定性提供了参考依据。
