Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery volume 46, Article number: 29 (2024)
Abstract
Introduction
Orthognathic surgery (OGS) is a highly sophisticated surgical technique that aims to repair a variety of skeletal and dental abnormalities, including misaligned jaws and teeth. It requires precise preoperative preparation and advanced surgical skills, which are typically learned through years of practical experience in operating rooms or laboratory-based surgical training facilities utilizing cadavers or models. The traditional physical hands-on method of surgical training is still used at OGS. However, this method requires a longer time of preparation. Currently, mixed reality (MR)—a combination of virtual reality and augmented reality technology—is an innovation of OGS. The present study aimed to present a comprehensive review of studies that assessed the advantages of utilizing mixed reality technology in OGS.
Methods
A modified Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome strategy was performed using a combination of electronic (PubMed, Cochrane, Embase) and manual searches between 2013 and 2023 exploring mixed reality (MR) technology in OGS in the last 10 years. The inclusion criteria were limited to the patient and study model focusing on the clinical application of MR and the associated field of OGS.
Result
The initial search indicated 1731 studies, of which 17 studies were included for analysis. The main results indicated that the use of MR technology in OGS led to high accuracy and time reduction as primary outcomes and cost-effectiveness and skill improvement as secondary outcomes. The review firmly concluded that MR technology exhibited a positive impact on students, trainees, and oromaxillofacial surgeons. However, due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, meta-analyses could not be performed. Collectively, these findings provide strong evidence for the advantages of MR technology in orthognathic surgery.
Conclusion
MR technology significantly improves OGS planning efficiency by providing pre-surgical information and serving as an intraoperative navigation tool, reducing surgical time without compromising outcomes. Virtual training using MR technology exerts a positive impact on knowledge and skill improvement for OGS. This innovative technology will revolutionize the healthcare system and enhance patient care.
Introduction
Orthognathic surgery (OGS), also called corrective jaw surgery, is the use of surgical procedures to correct imbalances in the upper and lower jaws [1, 2]. OGS enhances the soft tissues and bone structure of the face, resulting in improvements to both function and appearance [2, 3]. This procedure involves the conduct of osteotomies and realignment of the chin, mandible, and maxilla [2, 4].
A thorough assessment, precise planning, and professional understanding are necessary for this type of surgical management [2, 3, 5]. Surgeons accomplish extensive and comprehensive training to become familiar with these skills under the guidance of an experienced surgeon [6, 7]. However, due to several considerations, such as the effect on the patient’s comfort, the length of the surgical plan process, the time and cost of the surgery, and the probability of complications, this type of study approach is out of date [6,7,8,9,10].
Today, surgical simulators have been developed based on mixed reality (MR) technology [11, 12]. As MR consists of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, the relationship between both technologies relies on the use of virtual data as a 3D image to alter the physical world around the user, which allows surgeons to conduct correct surgical procedures, intraoperative tracking, and postoperative evaluation [13,14,15,16].
Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of utilizing MR technology in various surgical procedures by improving the quality of the operation, accuracy, and precision, as well as shortened duration [17, 18]. However, the benefits of MR technology in OGS have not been sufficiently investigated [13, 19, 20]. The present systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the studies addressing MR technology utilization in OGS for the period between 2013 and 2023. In addition, attention is drawn to students, trainees, and oromaxillofacial surgeons about this technology to improve outcomes and shorten the duration of the operation.
Materials and methods
Review strategy and study registration
The present systematic review was accomplished and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines [21]. The protocol for the systematic review was registered to PROSPERO (CRD42023455788).
Focus question
The PICO framework for this investigation includes the following: the study population consisting of patients, animal, and study model receiving OGS/osteotomy procedure combined with MR (VR/AR) technology. The intervention examines OGS procedure on a study model or person with MR technology. Comparisons were made with alternative approaches for OGS between conventional OGS/osteotomy procedure and MR-based orthognathic procedure. Outcomes were assessed encompassing duration and accuracy as the primary outcome with cost-effective and knowledge improvement as secondary outcome as tabulated in Table 1.
Information sources and search approach
We performed an exhaustive search of electronic databases, including Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase. The time frame for the published research articles is restricted to the last 10 years (2013–2023) to reflect the latest information. The initial search was carried out in December 2022 and updated in December 2023.
The article was limited to randomized clinical trial and clinical trial literatures using search terms such as “orthognathic surgery,” “mixed reality,” “augmented reality,” “virtual reality,” “surgical simulation,” “surgical planning accuracy,” “skill acquisition,” “conventional OGS,” and “training effectiveness.” Manual searches of notable journals related to MR technology utilization in OGS were also carried out. The search strategy was tailored for each specific database. A summary of the search strategies and the total number of studies retrieved are provided in Table 2.
Eligibility criteria and study selection
The eligible studies for inclusion in the present review were the following: (1) studies examining the outcomes of patients, animal, and study model receiving OGS/osteotomy procedure with MR technology, (2) analytical cross-section, cohort, case report, randomized controlled trial (RCT), or clinical trial study designs, and (3) human, animal, or study models as the study population.
Exclusion criteria were defined as follows: (1) review or systematic review articles, (2) research not involving MR technology in OGS/osteotomy procedure, and (3) not describing the advantage or outcome of the MR technology usage in OGS/osteotomy procedures.
Two review authors (C. S. and F. N.) independently screened the titles and abstracts of search results to identify relevant studies, considering the PICO question and the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Irrelevant studies were excluded from the review, and the rationale for their exclusion was documented. In cases of disagreement between the authors, a third author (M. R.) was consulted for resolution. The full texts of potentially relevant articles were further evaluated, with those not adhering to the PICO framework or the inclusion and exclusion criteria being eliminated and reasons for their exclusion provided.
Data items and collection process
One researcher (C. S.) extracted data from the selected articles, while another researcher (F. N.) confirmed the accuracy of the data extraction. Information of interest included the study author’s names, publication year, country of origin, the number of samples in treatment and the case, platform and devices, intervention, and outcomes such as duration/TCT, accuracy, cost-effective, and knowledge improvement. A summary of the data related to the duration/TCT of MR technology utilization in OGS is presented in Table 3, while a summary of the accuracy obtained of MR technology utilization in OGS is presented in Table 4.
Assessing risk of bias
All studies included in the present systematic review consisted of 4 types of study designs, namely cross-sectional [22, 34,35,36], case report [33], prospective cohort [25], and randomized controlled trial [11, 16, 23, 24, 26,27,28,29,30,31,32]. We evaluated their risk of bias using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) assessment tool based on the type of study design of studies involved. The results of this assessment are tabulated in Table 5.
Synthesis of the summary measures
The data obtained from the selected articles were deemed appropriate as the primary outcome if they showed the effectiveness of MR technology usage in OGS/osteotomy procedure in terms of duration/TCT and accuracy. Other findings, such as cost-effectiveness and knowledge improvement, were considered secondary outcomes. Validated comparisons among selected publications were not feasible due to heterogeneity present in the field of OGS and MR technology, and meta-analyses were not accomplished.
The data was assembled using the following parameters and subsequently organized according to predefined schemes as mentioned below:
-
“Author, country”—It was used to reveal the first author and country where the study was conducted.
-
“Year” —described the year of publication of literature.
-
“Number of subjects” —It was used to describe the type and size of samples used.
-
“Case”—It was used to describe the condition of maxillofacial abnormalities which need OGS procedure.
-
“Platform, devices”—It was used to explain which platforms and devices are used in literature.
-
“Accuracy”—It was used to show the deviation between virtual intervention and actual intervention performed in the research.
-
“Duration/Time completion task (TCT)”—It was used to describe the duration required for completing the training task/the operation.
-
“Knowledge improvement”—It was used to describe the measurement indicators used in assessing the knowledge of virtual training participants.
-
“Cost-effective”—it was used to describe the reducement of production cost.
Result
Study selection
After eliminating duplicate entries, 1747 articles were identified through the search approach. A thorough assessment of titles and abstracts led to the exclusion of articles, leaving 84 articles with potential relevance.
The 84 full-text articles from databases underwent a screening process based on predeterminated inclusion and exclusion parameters. Upon examining the reference lists of these articles, 29 more studies were added. In the end, seventeen studies met the criteria and were incorporated into the review, while 38 were dismissed after a full-text evaluation.
A flowchart depicting the process of identifying, including, and excluding studies along with the reasons for exclusion is presented in Fig. 1.
Study characteristics
The systematic review encompassed seventeen studies, with four being cross-sectional [22, 34,35,36], one case report [33], one prospective cohort [41], and eleven randomized controlled trials [11, 16, 23, 24, 26,27,28,29,30,31,32, 40] (Fig. 2). These studies took place between 2013 and 2023, with patients involved in ten studies [22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 31,32,33, 35, 36], animals involved in one study [36], and dental study models involved in five studies [16, 26, 27, 30, 36]. Surgical planning was evaluated in six studies which focused on preoperative maxillary repositioning, occlusion determination, osteotomy plan, cutting, and drilling [16, 22, 25, 27, 30, 36]. The effectiveness of MR technology as an intraoperative navigator was evaluated in six studies [11, 23, 26, 31,32,33]. The intervention was performed using real-time 3D visualization for maxillary reposition, Le Fort I osteotomy, intermediate splint, bimaxillary osteotomy, and mandibular osteotomy.
The remaining five studies demonstrated the effectiveness of MR technology as a training tool for students, trainees, and oromaxillofacial surgeons to escalate their understanding regarding OGS [6, 7]. The intervention performed on the simulator included face analysis, cephalometry analysis drilling, cutting, oscillating saw usage, osteotomy Le Fort I, mandibular osteotomy, and case-based training. These studies showed the improvement of technical skills and performance between novices and experienced surgeons, as well as the reduction in duration/TCT of OGS procedure.
Among the included studies, the most commonly used software was Dolphin [25], Mimics [33], ManMos [11], VR-Med [33], and Unity 3D engine [26, 33]. The summary of the duration/TCT analysis is presented in Table 3, and the summary of accuracy is presented in Table 4.
Risk of bias
Upon evaluating the seventeen studies using the JBI assessment tool, the risk of bias was found to be diverse, with final assessment scores ranging from 68% (moderate risk) [22, 34,35,36] to 100% (low risk) [11, 16, 23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]. The study exhibits a mix of methodological which should be assessed based on the study designs for interpreting the results.
Out of seventeen studies, five studies included the control group [24,25,26,27,28], facilitating more robust comparisons and outcome evaluations. In contrast, the remaining twelve studies without control groups had limited generalizability and introduced bias into their results [11, 16, 22, 23, 29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36]. The risk of bias assessment of all the studies can be found in Table 5.
Summary of results
In the studies reviewed, various assessments were conducted to evaluate the benefits of MR technology in OGS procedure as planning, intraoperative navigation, and pre-surgical training tools by assessing the accuracy, duration/TCT, cost-effective, and knowledge improvements.
Out of the seventeen studies that met the criteria, five studies described the advantages of MR technology about accuracy and TCT/duration [22, 23, 26, 28, 40], three studies explained the advantages about TCT/duration only [16, 25, 27] and six studies described the advantages of MR technology in terms of accuracy only [11, 29,30,31,32,33], while the remaining studies explained the advantages of MR in cost-effective and knowledge improvement [34,35,36].
Accuracy analysis result
The accuracy defines how close a measurement is to the actual value by comparing the position error (PE), linear/distance error (L/DE), angular error (AE), cutting error (CE), translation error (TE), and orientation error (OE), the accuracy may be evaluated [42]. Gao et al. [26] reported that the position error of the cutting plan and osteotomy by the surgeon was 1.38–4.43 mm, while the engineer position error hits 1.36–3.22 mm. The orientation error was reported similarly between surgeon and engineer (0.88–3.18 mm). In line with that, Ahn et al. [31] indicated a low position error of maxilla reposition, with a mean error of 0.0596 mm.
Distance error was evaluated by several studies to promote the accuracy of MR technology. Koyachi et al. [32] described X-axis as the middle point that passes between the orbitales on both sides, the Y-axis as the vertical cranial direction from the Frankfort horizontal plane, and the Z-axis as the right-hand direction from the center. Zinser et al. [22] observed remarkable accuracy of bimaxillary osteotomy on 16 malocclusion skeletal class III patients with distance error between maxillary landmark to mandibular plane (0.01–0.2 mm), maxillary landmark to coronal plane (0.19–0.37 mm), and vertical dimension to Frankfurt horizontal plane (FHP) to frontozygomatic line (0.12–0.37 mm) with the acceptable angular error between occlusal plane and FHP (< 0.35°).
Ricciardi et al. [29] reveal that MR technology utilization for reconstruction planning and drilling guidance has low distance error and varies between 1.37 and 1.43 mm. Studies by Koyachi et al. [32] and Jo et al. [33] also found low distance error on osteotomy Le Fort I and maxillary reposition, with XYZ deviation 0.38 mm, accuracy of more than 90%, and 2–3 mm distance error. Similarly, Fushima et al. [11] found distance error of mandibular osteotomy approximately < 0.32 mm.
In XYZ direction, Badialli et al. [23] show low distance error on virtual planned osteotomy and maxilla-mandible reposition, with deviation on frontal (1.91 mm), caudal-cranial (0.59 mm), and lateral (1.02 mm). Similarly, Wu et al. [30] found distance error in X direction (0.022–0.648 mm), Y direction (0.047–0.371 mm), and Z direction (0.019–1.139 mm).
Medellin et al. [28] evaluated cutting error after virtual training with and without haptic for mentoplasty and sagittal osteotomy. The use of virtual training only shows cutting error of mentoplasty within 14.6% and sagittal osteotomy within 21.2%. This value was significantly reduced with the combination of haptic-enabled device. The cutting error was reduced to 6.4% for mentoplasty and 4.9% for sagittal osteotomy.
Translation error is defined as the Euclidean distance between the centers of source and target [42]. Lutz et al. [24] utilized VR-Med software and electromagnetic (EM) tracking system for maxilla reposition with translation error within 1.11 mm.
In response to this research, MR technology has proven to be a valuable asset in orthognathic surgery practice, with excellent precision and accuracy. Through seamlessly merging virtual aspects with the actual world, it improves spatial awareness and offers surgeons with comprehensive anatomical visualization. This exact integration improves preoperative planning and provides surgeons with real-time data throughout treatments, providing more predictable and successful outcomes for patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
Duration/TCT analysis result
TCT is described as the reducement of time or duration needed for surgeons to complete the OGS procedure with the utilization of MR technology [28]. Face analysis and cephalometric analysis are considered important steps in OGS planning. Zaragoza et al. [27] evaluated five modules of OGS procedure, consisting of face analysis, cephalometric analysis, surgical template, model surgery, and case-based study. According to the study, the face analysis performed by novices and experts takes almost the same amount of time, 5.5 min and 3.2 min respectively. Similarly, the cephalometric analysis performed by novices and experts had slightly different durations of 7.5 min and 8.2 min, respectively [27].
Another study by Medellin et al. [28] reported cephalometric analysis performed by novices using OSSys system reduced the TCT by less than 2 min. In line with that, Sakowitz et al. [16] evaluated cephalometric analysis in 3 cases (trial case, simple discrepancy, and discrepancy on both jaws) utilizing VR technology. The duration required to solve cases 2 and 3 is relatively fast, with 15.05 min and 15.5 min, respectively.
Medellin et al. [28] also evaluated the use of virtual and haptic device on sagittal osteotomy and mentoplasty procedure. It reveals that the TCT reduced when combining virtual and haptic-enabled device, which was 21.5 s for sagittal osteotomy and 11.6 s for mentoplasty, while the use of virtual only needs longer duration, which was 53 s for sagittal osteotomy and 19.4 s for mentoplasty [28]. In line with that, Gao et al. [26] compared the TCT of sagittal osteotomy between surgeon and engineer and found that there are slight differences. The surgeon needs 6.45–8.81 min, while the engineer needs 6.26–9.22 min to complete the procedure. In accordance, Badiali et al. [23] discovered lower TCT on Le Fort I osteotomy, which was 180–240 min.
Steinhuber et al. [25] evaluated the use of virtual surgical planning (VSP) in the management of single-jaw and double-jaw osteotomies performed by surgeon, assistant, and technician. They discovered that the duration of single-jaw surgery performed by an assistant was lower than surgeon and technician, which was 22.8 min, while the surgeon and technician were 41.2 min and 45.3 min, respectively. Similarly, in the case of double-jaw surgery, the duration needed by the assistant was lower than surgeon and technician, which was 20.9 min, while the surgeon and technician were 53.6 min and 75.1 min, respectively [25].
Lutz et al. [24] discovered the reduced time for maxillary reposition by comparing experts and trainees. Trainees perform the maxillary reposition 10.99 s faster than experts. In another study, Lutz et al. [40] developed a semi-automated segmentation pipeline using VR-Med software. Concerning accuracy, the mean distance error range was 0.72–1.68 mm, with the number of outliers not exceeding 25%. The accuracy of the simulation model was < 1 mm, providing realistic simulation, as expected from the comparison with clinical images. Navigation significantly improved accuracy and operative time for less experienced surgeons, notably in complex bone movements along multiple axes [40].
Medellin et al. [28] and Zaragoza et al. [27] demonstrated the use of MR technology as a tool for clinical learning, facial analysis, and cephalometry, training in managing sagittal osteotomies and mentoplasty, and creating surgical templates. Compared with traditional techniques, MR technology can reduce the whole procedure time to 240.9 min (± 4 h) for experienced surgeons and 456.6 min (± 7 h) for novice surgeons.
All of this study reinforces that MR technology helps reduce the skill gap between surgeons and novices. The skill gap helps surgeons improve surgical outcomes by performing correct procedures and minimizing surgical complications.
Knowledge improvements
Education centers are encouraged to explore innovative methods that complement traditional training for understanding OGS. Cost-effective and knowledge improvement were reported in several studies as the benefits of MR, enabling students to explore the anatomy and identify anomalies in a virtual environment and positively impacts the training method of OGS, increasing student engagement in the subject so that information can be distributed effectively and motor skills can be improved.
Pulijala et al. [43] reported that first year residents exhibited a significantly higher level of confidence in performing Le Fort I osteotomy in comparison to those in the second and third years. In another study, Pulijala et al. [9] evaluate the validity of virtual reality surgery using a questionnaire. The result indicated that the VR-based training tool developed exhibited a satisfactory level of validity. It can be used among surgical trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery to enhance their non-surgical skills and improve their knowledge of OGS.
Pham Dang et al. [11] utilized MR technology to identify significant structures that are not clinically visible during surgery. MR technology accurately identified the human dental cusp, as well as the two mental foramina of the porcine head and the inferior alveolar nerve on phantoms. It is believed that this will aid surgeons in anticipating the challenges they will face during surgery to reduce the risk of complications. Similarly, Arikatla et al. [35] develop complicated OGS techniques that offer accurate simulation for a crucial aspect of the treatment, particularly real-time bone cutting by utilizing MR technology.
Based on a thorough review of these studies, it is recommended that MR technology supports the improvement of skills and knowledge of students, trainees, and orthomaxillofacial surgeons by enabling real-time OGS training to complement educational methods. This innovation encourages students, trainees, and orthomaxillofacial surgeons to explore more about OGS and possible complications.
Cost-effective
Despite the numerous benefits of using MR technology, its use is limited in developing nations due to its costly production and the investment required for accurate surgical simulators [44]. Bengtsson et al. [45] compared the financial costs for radiographic examination and surgical planning between VSP and TSP method. Time spent is converted to financial cost using the economic cost/unit of time according to the local average salary of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The cost of the initial investment was higher for VSP ($16,471) than TSP ($2588). Abbate et al. [46] estimated a cost of approximately 6.3 Euros per case. While it may require a significant initial investment, the long-term benefits of using MR technology can outweigh the costs, notably for countries with limited resources.
However, there is a growing interest in analyzing the cost–benefit of using MR technology for routine surgery, as it may be a worthwhile investment in the future compared with 3D models [47, 48]. This is in line with research conducted by Sutherland et al. [49] that use two smartphones and a VR headset for slit lamp and surgical videos in 3D view. This demonstrates that MR technology can provide in a simpler and low-cost component.
All of these included studies underscore the potential benefits of employing MR technology as an investment for the development of the field of education, especially oral and maxillofacial surgery. Lectures can utilize this technology continuously and can be developed in more in-depth learning modules. Case scenarios allow students to learn and prepare themselves before performing the actual surgery.
Discussion
The present systematic review focuses on clinical research exploring the application of MR technology in OGS. Clinical studies of OGS that use MR technologies are mainly experimental and are utilized for science projects or educational purposes that follow specific surgical protocols. The latest computing hardware and supporting software are essential for enabling the use of MR in healthcare activities. MR technology has a proven track record of effectively reducing planning time with optimal reliability.
All of the seventeen studies that were analyzed in the present systematic review indicated that MR technology was highly accurate in OGS planning as well as during the actual procedure. Following a thorough review, it was found that every publication demonstrated minimal deviation between predicted and actual outcomes for repositioning and osteotomy surgeries. The present study is consistent with the findings of Ayoub et al. [13], who discovered the accuracy of virtual planning for orthognathic surgery. According to their evaluation, virtual planning is a reliable method that aids the majority of the clinicians to reduce preparation time.
Furthermore, a study done by Wilkat et al. [12] developed a prototype tool for virtual occlusion and compared it with the conventional method. It concluded that MR technology helps reduce the material cost and personal effort, leading to less operation time and providing interactive and highly informative platform. Similarly, Koyachi et al. [50] reported that the overlay error of genioplasty procedure between the operative virtual operation and 1-month postoperative CT data within 2 mm was 100%, by utilizing the combination of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) with MR technology. It shows that the combination of CAD/CAM and MR technology enabled accurate planning for genioplasty.
Another systematic review was done by Chen et al. [51] evaluating randomized clinical trials about VSP and TSP and concluded that VSP shortened the planning and operating time, giving the same satisfaction to the patient’s post operative outcome, and the cost-effective between conventional and virtual surgical plan remain similar considering the time production and printed model costs.
Although only seventeen studies were included in the present systematic review, the increasing number of published articles per year indicates the high public interest in using MR in the healthcare field. MR technology has both potential and limitations, specifically regarding technical performance, sensor tracking, and clinical use regulation [52, 53]. According to FDA regulations [54], MR technology is allowed for clinical use in the medical field to promote safety and effectiveness of healthcare as well as increase patient’s compliance and adherence to the therapy. A specialized training is considered for clinicians to utilize MR technology safely and avoid malfunction. Developed MR technology should be registered to the FDA’s medical reporting tool, MedWatch, before it can be widely distributed. Similarly, John et al. [19] found that MR technology in the medical field can enhance the effectiveness of medical education and training, raise the level of diagnosis and treatment, improve the doctor-patient relationship, and boost the efficiency of medical implementation.
Limitations and suggestions for further research
High heterogeneity in the included publications was observed, resulting in comparisons, validation, and meta-analysis not being possible. Standardized parameters for evaluating surgical simulators are required to enable fairer comparisons and focus on important aspects for the targeted application.
Conclusion
MR technology has provided benefits to OGS education and practice. Students, trainees, and oromaxillofacial surgeons are expected to use the technical skills they learn in virtual surgical simulators to prepare their minds and bodies for actual surgery. Pre-surgical training can help reduce the stressful operating theater environment and the difficulty of surgery and anticipate difficult circumstances. As a result, the skill gap between novice surgeons and experienced surgeons can be reduced. The importance of this breakthrough in improving patient care standards has been mentioned in most papers. In the near future, we will see the full potential of MR technology in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery as a result of ongoing technological developments.
