Abstract
Objectives: To investigate and compare the transfer accuracy of five different surgical guides (SGs) for the insertion of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) in the anterior palate.
Materials and methods: Stereolithographic files of 10 maxillary patient models and their corresponding lateral cephalograms were virtually matched and used for planning the position of two parallel OMIs in the paramedian region of the anterior palate. For each patient model, three 3-dimensional (3D)-printed and two conventional SGs were manufactured from different materials, and a total of 96 OMIs were transferred to the anterior palates of the respective 50 molded resin models. The planned (T0) and the actual (T1) OMI positions were analyzed and compared after superimposition of the digitized models. The deviations between the OMI positions in T0 and T1 were described as the distance between the head and the tip, respectively, of each OMI in millimeters and the deviating angle between the OMI axes for each patient and SG.
Results: The conventionally manufactured SGs of Pattern Resin LS (GC Europe N.V., Leuven, Belgium) showed the highest linear and angular transfer accuracy for the insertion of OMIs. The highest deviations were found with the SGs made of IMPRIMO LC Splint (3D-printed; Scheu-Dental, Iserlohn, Germany) and Memosil 2 (conventional SG; Kulzer, Hanau, Germany).
Conclusions: The 3D-printed SGs did not reach the accuracy of the conventional SGs made of Pattern Resin but may provide sufficient accuracy for palatal OMI placement.
