UTILIZAÇÃO DE GUIA CIRÚRGICO PARA REMOÇÃO DE TERCEIRO MOLAR EM SEIO MAXILAR: relato de caso

Abstract

This study aims to describe a clinical case of removal of a maxillary third molar from the maxillary sinus by the Caldwell-Luc technique using a surgical guide made from digital planning and three-dimensional printing. From a methodological point of view, this work is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, based on a clinical case report indirectly observed in São Luís-MA. 3 Revista de Estudos Multidisciplinares, São Luís, v. 3, n. 1 (Número Especial XV Encontro Científico da UNDB), jan./mar. 2023. ISSN 2238-7897. Regarding the qualification of literary findings, the descriptors in health science (DeCS BVS) were used for the search. The research was based on scientific articles indexed in the SciELO, Google Scholar, PubMed and Virtual Health Library databases. The inclusion criteria were works published between 2010 and 2022, written in Portuguese, English and Spanish that were in accordance with the proposed theme. This work addresses concepts related to "Maxillary Sinus Anatomy", "Foreign Body in the Maxillary Sinus", "Virtual Planning in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery" and "Guided Surgery". From the results obtained, it is possible to perceive that digital dentistry supports the planning and surgical treatment in the oral and maxillofacial scope, and its advantages are proven by the literature and also by the report presented here. Thus, it was concluded that prototypes and virtual planning are innovations in the area of oral and maxillofacial surgery that result in reduced surgical time, increased predictability, greater comfort for the patient and precision in the procedures, and may have different applicability in dentistry.
