- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Adult
Who may be able to join
- Age ranged from 18 to 40 years old.
- Patients were diagnosed with dentofacial deformity and received treatment at the Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The diagnosis was confirmed via comprehensive evaluation by two senior attending plastic surgeons.
- Patients were scheduled for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, with optional adjunctive procedures including maxillary and mandibular subapical osteotomy and genioplasty.

About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Single-blind Study on the Hybrid Tooth and Bone-supported Cutting and Repositioning Guides Versus Computer-aided Design/Computer-aided Manufactured Splints in "Surgery-first" Orthognathic Surgery
Dentofacial deformity refers to a group of disorders characterized by malocclusion and facial asymmetry resulting from developmental abnormalities of the maxilla and mandible, which cause morphological and positional anomalies of the jaws. Compared with the traditional orthodontics-orthognathic surgery-orthodontics treatment protocol, the surgery-first approach has witnessed a continuous expansion of its clinical application scope. Nevertheless, academic controversies persist regarding its indication boundaries, postoperative jaw stability, and adaptive changes of the temporomandibular joint.
In orthognathic surgery, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) surgical guides indirectly determine the three-dimensional spatial positions of the maxilla and mandible through occlusal relationships. The tooth-bone dual-supported osteotomy and positioning guide combined with pre-bent patient-specific implants (PSIs) forms a novel surgical guide system that enables independent and direct positioning of the maxilla. Theoretically, this system can eliminate errors derived from mandibular positional instability and thereby improve surgical accuracy. However, comparative studies investigating the clinical application of these two types of guides in surgery-first orthognathic surgery are still lacking.
This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical study aimed to explore the clinical value of PSIs and conventional CAD/CAM guides in surgery-first orthognathic surgery, with primary outcomes focusing on surgical accuracy, postoperative jaw stability, and temporomandibular joint alterations. The findings will provide evidence-based medical support for the expanded application of this novel technique in precision orthognathic surgery.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
bimaxillary surgery(Lefort I and SSRO)Procedure or surgery
All patients underwent surgery-first bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, with concomitant optional procedures including maxillary and mandibular subapical osteotomy and genioplasty.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| PSI group | Experimental | Tooth-bone borne osteotomy and repositioning guides combined with patient-specific implants constitute the PSI group for short. Preoperative craniomaxillofacial computed tomography (CT) data of patients were imported for three-dimensional reconstruction. Surgical plans, including genioplasty procedures, were collaboratively formulated by surgeons and orthodontists with full consideration of patients' personal preferences. Custom tooth-bone dual-supported osteotomy and positioning guides for both the maxilla and mandible were digitally designed and subsequently fabricated. A partial skull model was printed preoperatively, on which custom titanium plates were pre-bent in advance in strict accordance with the established surgical protocol. Receives: Procedure: bimaxillary surgery(Lefort I and SSRO) |
| CAD/CAM group | Active comparator | Patients' preoperative craniomaxillofacial computed tomography (CT) data were imported for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. Surgeons and orthodontists collaboratively formulated individualized surgical plans based on patients' preferences, including genioplasty procedures, followed by the design and fabrication of CAD/CAM intermediate and final surgical guides. Receives: Procedure: bimaxillary surgery(Lefort I and SSRO) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Linear deviation
Following the superimposition of preoperative virtual surgical planning models and postoperative actual craniomaxillofacial computed tomography (CT) datasets, manual registration was performed based on anatomical landmarks including the nasion, foramen magnum, infraorbital point, zygomatic bone, and zygomatic arch. Linear deviations of the A-point, B-point, canine teeth, and first molars relative to the Frankfort horizontal plane, facial midsagittal plane, and coronal plane were measured and recorded.
Measured: 7 days and 1 year
Secondary outcomes (3)
Angular deviation
Following the superimposition of preoperative virtual surgical planning models and postoperative actual craniomaxillofacial computed tomography (CT) datasets, manual registration was performed based on anatomical landmarks including the nasion, foramen magnum, infraorbital point, zygomatic bone, and zygomatic arch. Angular deviations of the A-point, B-point, canine teeth, and first molars relative to the Frankfort horizontal plane, facial midsagittal plane, and coronal plane were measured and recorded.
Measured: 7 days and 1 year
Soft tissue change
Soft tissue changes were evaluated based on three-dimensional facial scan data acquired using a 3dMD system. Following the superimposition of preoperative virtual surgical planning models and postoperative actual facial scan datasets, changes in soft tissue landmarks were assessed, including the nasal base, lips, nose, etc.
Measured: 1 year
