Abstract
Purpose: Genitoplasty is becoming more and more common, and it is important to improve the accuracy of the procedure and simplify the procedure. This experiment explores the feasibility of using augmented reality (AR) technology combined with PSI titanium plates for navigational assistance in genioplasty performed on models, aiming to study the precision of such surgical interventions.Methods: Twelve genioplasty procedures were designed and implemented on 3D-printed resin mandibular models by the same surgeon using three different approaches: AR+3DT group (AR+PSI) , 3DT group (patient-specific titanium plate) , and a traditional free-hand group(FH group). Postoperative models were assessed using CBCT to evaluate surgical accuracy.Results: In terms of osteotomy accuracy, the AR group demonstrated a surgical error of 0.9440±0.5441 mm, significantly lower than the control group, which had an error of 1.685±0.8907 mm (P < 0.0001). In experiments positioning the distal segment of the chin, the overall centroid shift in the AR group was 0.3661±0.1360 mm, significantly less than the 2.304±0.9629 mm in the 3DT group and 1.562±0.9799 mm in the FH group (P < 0.0001). Regarding angular error, the AR+3DT group showed 2.825±1.373°, significantly <8.283±3.640° in the 3DT group and 7.234±5.241° in the FH group.Conclusion: AR navigation technology combined with PSI titanium plates demonstrates higher surgical accuracy compared to traditional methods and shows feasibility for use. Further validation through clinical trials is necessary.
