Abstract

Introduction: Accurate and efficient dental implant placement is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. Traditional implant placement techniques rely on 2D imaging and freehand surgery, which can be associated with inaccuracies and prolonged surgical time. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 3D printing technology, specifically the use of patient-specific surgical guides, on the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement in Semarang, Indonesia. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 60 patients requiring a single dental implant in the posterior mandible. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (conventional freehand implant placement) or the experimental group (3D printed surgical guide-assisted implant placement). Primary outcome measures were implant placement accuracy (deviation from planned implant position) and surgical time. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, swelling, and patient satisfaction. Results: The use of 3D printed surgical guides significantly improved implant placement accuracy in all three dimensions (mesiodistal, buccolingual, and apicocoronal) compared to the freehand technique (p<0.001). Surgical time was also significantly reduced in the experimental group (p=0.02). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of postoperative pain, swelling, or patient satisfaction. Conclusion: 3D printing technology significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement. The use of patient-specific surgical guides resulted in more precise implant positioning and reduced surgical time, contributing to improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Severe Mental Illness (SMI) often leads to neglect of personal care, including oral hygiene, and may be associated with specific oral health challenges. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of SMI on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in a population in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 participants with SMI (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder with psychotic features) recruited from a tertiary psychiatric hospital and community mental health centers in Surabaya, and 120 age- and sex-matched controls without SMI. OHRQoL was assessed quantitatively using the Indonesian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a subset of 30 participants with SMI to explore their experiences and perceptions regarding oral health. Oral examinations were performed on all participants to assess Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, Community Periodontal Index (CPI), and presence of oral mucosal lesions. Results: Participants with SMI had significantly higher mean OHIP-14 scores (32.5 ± 8.2) compared to controls (14.1 ± 4.5) (p < 0.001), indicating poorer OHRQoL. The DMFT index was also significantly higher in the SMI group (12.8 ± 3.7) compared to controls (6.2 ± 2.1) (p < 0.001), and CPI scores indicated worse periodontal health in the SMI group. Qualitative analysis revealed key themes: barriers to accessing dental care (financial constraints, fear, lack of transportation), challenges with daily oral hygiene practices (forgetfulness, lack of motivation, side effects of medication), and limited awareness of the importance of oral health. Conclusion: Individuals with SMI in Surabaya, Indonesia, experience significantly poorer OHRQoL compared to the general population. This is associated with poorer objective oral health status and multiple, interlinked barriers to care. Integrated mental health and oral health services, tailored interventions to improve oral hygiene practices, and increased awareness campaigns are crucial to address this disparity.
