To compare the bracket bonding accuracy, efficiency, reproducibility, and three-dimensional (3D) printing duration of the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) unilateral contact guided bonding device (GBD-U) and the bilateral contact guided bonding device (GBD-B) in vitro.
Five resin dental model sets were scanned and virtually bonded with brackets. GBD-U and GBD-B were designed and 3D printed for each model. GBD-Us had guide blocks that fit the occlusal sides of the bracket tie-wings, while GBD-Bs had guide arms that fit the occlusal and distal sides of the tie-wings. Five orthodontic residents were recruited to bond brackets on the same 3D-printed copies of resin models in a dental mannequin using GBD-Us and GBD-Bs, respectively. The time for 3D printing of GBDs and bracket bonding was recorded. The linear and angular deviations between the bonded brackets and the virtually bonded ones were measured.
A total of 50 sets of resin models (1000 brackets/tubes) were bonded. The time for 3D printing and bracket bonding was shorter for GBD-Us (41.96 mins/6.38 mins) than for GBD-Bs (78.04 mins/7.20 mins). In both devices, 100% linear deviations and over 95% angular deviations were below 0.5 mm or 2°, respectively. Deviations in the mesiodistal dimension, torque, angulation, and rotation were significantly lower in the GBD-U group (P<0.01). High inter-operator reproducibility of bracket bonding was confirmed for both devices.
GBD-U was more time-efficient in 3D printing. Both GBDs showed clinically acceptable accuracy, whereas GBD-U had higher bonding accuracy in the mesiodistal dimension, torque, angulation, and rotation than GBD-B.
CAD/CAM GBD-U provides high bracket bonding accuracy in a time-efficient manner and has the potential to be clinically applied.
比较计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造(CAD/CAM)单侧接触引导粘接装置(GBD-U)和双侧接触引导粘接装置(GBD-B)在体外的托槽粘接准确性、效率、可重复性和三维(3D)打印持续时间。
扫描五个树脂牙模并虚拟粘接托槽。为每个模型设计和 3D 打印 GBD-U 和 GBD-B。GBD-U 有适合托槽结扎翼的咬合侧的导块,而 GBD-B 有适合结扎翼的咬合侧和远中侧的导臂。招募了五名正畸医生,分别使用 GBD-U 和 GBD-B 将托槽粘接到相同的 3D 打印树脂模型副本上。记录 GBD 3D 打印和托槽粘接的时间。测量粘接托槽与虚拟托槽之间的线性和角度偏差。
共粘接了 50 套树脂模型(1000 个托槽/管)。GBD-U 的 3D 打印和托槽粘接时间(41.96 分钟/6.38 分钟)短于 GBD-B(78.04 分钟/7.20 分钟)。在两种装置中,100%的线性偏差和超过 95%的角度偏差均低于 0.5 毫米或 2°。在 GBD-U 组中,近远中尺寸、转矩、角度和旋转的偏差明显较低(P<0.01)。两种装置的托槽粘接均具有较高的操作者间重现性。
GBD-U 在 3D 打印方面更省时。两种 GBD 均表现出可接受的临床准确性,而 GBD-U 在近远中尺寸、转矩、角度和旋转方面的粘接准确性高于 GBD-B。
CAD/CAM GBD-U 以高效的方式提供了高的托槽粘接准确性,并有潜力在临床上应用。
