DISPOSITIVO DE LOCALIZACION DEL PLANO OCLUSAL EN UN ARTICULADOR TRADICIONAL A PARTIR DE UN TRABAJO VIRTUALDEVICE FOR LOCALIZATION OF THE OCLUSAL PLANE IN A TRADITIONAL ARTICULATOR FROM A VIRTUAL WORK

SECTOR DE LA TECNICATECHNICAL SECTOR

El dispositivo de control de posicionamiento del piano oclusal en un articulador es de aplicacion en la industria de la implantologla dental principalmente en la realization de ciruglas ortognaticas donde la localizacion del piano oclusal para realizar la cirugla ortognatica a partir de unos datos reales es de vital importancia en el exito de la cirugla.The positioning control device of the occlusal piano in an articulator is of application in the dental implantology industry mainly in the realization of orthognathic surgeries where the location of the occlusal piano to perform orthognathic surgery from real data is of vital importance in the success of the surgery.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCION Y PROBLEMA TECNICO A RESOLVERBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED

En muchas ocasiones, las alteraciones en el esqueleto facial provocan defectos en la oclusion dentaria que no se pueden corregir mediante una ortodoncia y que requieren de un tratamiento de cirugla ortognatica, en el que se corrigen los defectos a los que un tratamiento de ortodoncia no llega.In many cases, alterations in the facial skeleton cause defects in dental occlusion that cannot be corrected by orthodontics and that require orthognathic surgery treatment, in which the defects that an orthodontic treatment does not reach are corrected .

El objetivo de la correction de los huesos maxilares realizada por la cirugla ortognatica es lograr una oclusion adecuada, restablecer la funcion masticatoria y mejorar la estetica facial, para lo que se modifica el piano oclusal del paciente. Para ello se corrige la posicion de los huesos maxilares, es decir, el maxilar superior y/o la mandlbula, de modo que la mandlbula se mueve a una posicion mas adecuada, mas estetica, mas funcional y mas saludable; esto se logra a traves de la combination de dos areas o especialidades medico-odontologicas: la ortodoncia que mueve los dientes y la cirugla maxilofacial que mueve los huesos en los que se apoyan los dientes.The objective of the correction of the maxillary bones performed by the orthognathic surgery is to achieve an adequate occlusion, restore the masticatory function and improve facial aesthetics, for which the patient's occlusal piano is modified. For this, the position of the maxillary bones is corrected, that is, the upper jaw and / or the jaw, so that the jaw moves to a more adequate, more aesthetic, more functional and healthier position; This is achieved through the combination of two areas or medical-dental specialties: orthodontics that moves the teeth and the maxillofacial surgery that moves the bones on which the teeth rest.

En la cirugla ortognatica, despues del primer analisis facial, se realizan una serie de mediciones (estudio cefalometrico) y se cuantifica la magnitud de la desproporcion entre los huesos maxilares y se planifican unos movimientos quirurgicos a realizar en los citados huesos maxilares, siendo muy exacta la relation entre dicha planificacion y el resultado final.In the orthognathic surgery, after the first facial analysis, a series of measurements are made (cephalometric study) and the magnitude of the disproportion between the maxillary bones is quantified and surgical movements are planned to be performed in said maxillary bones, being very exact the relationship between said planning and the final result.

La planificacion de los movimientos a realizar en la cirugla ortognatica, que sirve de gula al cirujano, se plasma en una ferula quirurgica, en la que se muestra la oclusion final que debe tener el grupo de huesos que se esta operando, utilizando como referenda siempre el grupoThe planning of the movements to be performed in the orthognathic surgery, which serves as a gluttony to the surgeon, is reflected in a surgical splint, which shows the final occlusion that the group of bones that are being operated must have, using as reference always the group

opuesto dp huesos, esto es si se esta operando el maxilar superior, la ferula quirurgica se apoya en la mandibula para mostrar la oclusion de los dientes del maxilar superior sobre la mandibula, y viceversa si se esta operando la mandibula de un paciente la ferula quirurgica se apoya en el maxilar superior para mostrar la oclusion de los dientes de la mandibula sobre el maxilar superior, y si son los dos grupos de huesos los que se tienen que operar se realizan dos ferulas quirurgicas, una primera que se apoya en el grupo de huesos sin operar y una segunda en la que la referenda es el grupo de huesos ya operado.opposite dp bones, that is if the upper jaw is being operated, the surgical splint rests on the jaw to show the occlusion of the teeth of the upper jaw on the jaw, and vice versa if a patient's jaw is being operated the surgical splint it rests on the upper jaw to show the occlusion of the jaw teeth on the upper jaw, and if it is the two groups of bones that have to be operated, two surgical splints are performed, a first that is supported by the group of bones without operating and a second one in which the reference is the group of bones already operated.

Los movimientos a aplicar en la cirugia ortognatica, se plasman en desplazamientos que se cuantifican en los tres ejes del espacio como los desplazamientos del extremo apical de una serie de dientes que se emplean como referencia.The movements to be applied in orthognathic surgery, are reflected in displacements that are quantified in the three axes of space such as displacements of the apical end of a series of teeth that are used as a reference.

Para poder trabajar en los movimientos que se quieren realizar en un paciente es necesario establecer un punto de partida, que viene determinado por el piano oclusal del paciente. Ese punto de partida en la actualidad se obtiene mediante el dispositivo conocido como arco facial, cuya mision es localizar, de forma manual y mediante apoyo en tejido blando, el piano oclusal del paciente. Oicho arco facial, en colaboracion con un articulador, permite posicionar una reproduccion dentaria del paciente en el articulador, con la misma disposition que presenta en el craneo y en concreto con las articulaciones temporomandibulares. En resumen, el arco facial es un instrumento capaz de determinar las relaciones entre los arcos dentarios, pudiendo ser transferidas del paciente al articulador con los mecanismos condilares del articulador.In order to work on the movements that you want to perform on a patient, it is necessary to establish a starting point, which is determined by the patient's occlusal piano. This starting point is currently obtained by means of the device known as the facial arch, whose mission is to locate, manually and through soft tissue support, the patient's occlusal piano. Oicho facial arch, in collaboration with an articulator, allows to position a dental reproduction of the patient in the articulator, with the same disposition that it presents in the skull and specifically with the temporomandibular joints. In summary, the facial arch is an instrument capable of determining the relationships between the dental arches, and can be transferred from the patient to the articulator with the condylar mechanisms of the articulator.

En el estado de la fecnica, una vez se ha localizado el piano oclusal del paciente, se desarrollan las ferulas quirurgicas, a partir del movimiento realizado en reproducciones dentarias del paciente fabricadas en cera y escayola que el tecnico de laboratorio se encargaba de modelar a mano y se busca la posicion final de la dentadura del paciente reproduciendo los movimientos planificados por un cirujano a mano en un articulador, para finalmente, una vez se habia obtenido en la reproduccion dentaria dicha posicion se comprobaba mediante un calibre asociado a una mesa de medida, que los desplazamientos de los dientes de referencia eran correctos.In the state of the art, once the patient's occlusal piano has been located, the surgical splints are developed, based on the movement made in dental reproductions of the patient made of wax and plaster that the laboratory technician was responsible for modeling by hand and the final position of the patient's denture is sought by reproducing the movements planned by a surgeon by hand in an articulator, finally, once the dental reproduction had been obtained, said position was checked by means of a caliber associated with a measuring table, that the displacements of the reference teeth were correct.

Todo el trabajo que se ha realizado hasta el momento parte de la identification del piano oclusal del paciente realizado con un arco facial que se apoya en tejido blando, y donde tienes que imaginar que el piano oseo que pretendes utilizar como referencia para el montaje de los parametros seleccionados, es el real a partir de los tejidos blandos del paciente y laAll the work that has been done so far starts with the identification of the patient's occlusal piano performed with a facial arch that is supported by soft tissue, and where you have to imagine that the bone piano that you intend to use as a reference for the assembly of the Selected parameters, is the real one from the patient's soft tissues and the

experiencia indica que el porcentaje de error en la localizacion del piano oclusal del paciente mediante el empleo del arco facial es muy alto, lo que se traduce en que la information de partida a partir de la que se desarrollan los estudios para realization de ciruglas ortognaticas es erronea.experience indicates that the percentage of error in the location of the occlusal piano of the patient through the use of the facial arch is very high, which translates into the fact that the starting information from which studies are carried out to perform orthognathic surgeries is wrong.

En la actualidad gracias al desarrollo de la tecnologia de trabajo virtual, el trabajo anterior se esta desarrollando de forma virtual, donde a partir del estudio realizado por un cirujano se desarrollan las ferulas quirurgicas mediante programas de generation de imagenes y movimiento virtual de cirugia ortognatica, que tienen una precision mucho mayor comparada con los metodos tradicionales.At present, thanks to the development of virtual work technology, the previous work is being developed in a virtual way, where from the study carried out by a surgeon the surgical splints are developed through programs of generation of images and virtual movement of orthognathic surgery, which have a much greater precision compared to traditional methods.

Ahora bien, los programas que se emplean para realizar los movimientos virtuales son manejados portecnicos expertos en su trabajo, pero que no estan exentos de poder introducir algun error en los protocolos de fabricacion de la ferula, esto es durante la introduction de los movimientos virtuales en el programa, y el programa reproducira fielmente el error cometido con exactitud para posteriormente fabricar dicha ferula quirurgica mediante una impresora 3d o cualquier otro metodo. E igualmente se parte de la posicion initial que ha proporcionado un arco facial en colaboracion con un articulador, que como ya se ha expuesto, se apoya en tejidos blandos del paciente lo que implica errores de partida en la posicion del piano oclusal del paciente.However, the programs used to perform virtual movements are handled by experts in their work, but they are not exempt from being able to introduce any error in the manufacturing protocols of the splint, that is during the introduction of virtual movements in the program, and the program will faithfully reproduce the mistake made exactly to later manufacture said surgical splint using a 3d printer or any other method. And it also starts from the initial position that has provided a facial arch in collaboration with an articulator, which, as already stated, relies on the patient's soft tissues, which implies starting errors in the position of the patient's occlusal piano.

No se conoce en el estado de la tecnica ningun instrumento que realice un control de la fabricacion precisa de las ferulas quirurgicas obtenidas mediante programas informaticos, que si bien ofrecen una capacidad de trabajo con una exactitud mucho mayor que el trabajo manual que se realizaba antes, no existe en la actualidad capacidad de controlar si los movimientos introducidos en el programa estan bien ejecutados o por el contrario se ha introducido algun error que posteriormente se transmite a la fabricacion de la ferula quirurgica.It is not known in the state of the art any instrument that performs a precise manufacturing control of the surgical splints obtained through computer programs, which although they offer a work capacity with much greater accuracy than the manual work that was done before, There is currently no ability to control whether the movements introduced in the program are well executed or, on the contrary, an error has been introduced that is subsequently transmitted to the manufacturing of the surgical splint.

El piano oclusal del paciente queda localizado en el espacio mediante la ferula (1) ya que dicha ferula incorpora una huella dentaria (6) de la posicion de los molares, premolares e incisivos del maxilar o la mandibula del paciente, de modo que, como ya se ha expuesto, la huella dentaria (6) de la ferula (1) es diferente segun cada paciente.The patient's occlusal piano is located in the space by means of the splint (1) since said splint incorporates a tooth imprint (6) of the position of the molars, premolars and incisors of the jaw or jaw of the patient, so that, as It has already been exposed, the tooth mark (6) of the splint (1) is different according to each patient.

Para localizar en el espacio el piano oclusal del paciente, la ferula (1) se situa sobre la superficie de recepcion de la ferula (5) del cuerpo base (3) y dicho cuerpo base (3) se fija sobre un articulador (2) tradicional. De esta manera se puede conocer la posicion en el espacio del piano oclusal del paciente, respecto el piano horizontal del articulador (2).To locate the patient's occlusal piano in space, the splint (1) is placed on the receiving surface of the splint (5) of the base body (3) and said base body (3) is fixed on an articulator (2) traditional. In this way, the position in the patient's occlusal piano space can be known, relative to the horizontal articulator piano (2).

La ferula (1) comprende en un lateral la huella dentaria (6) en la posicion de oclusion, en el lateral opuesto comprende una estructura de apoyo (7) sobre la superficie de recepcion de la ferula (5) del cuerpo base (3) y unos elementos de conexion (8) entre la huella dentaria (6) y la estructura de apoyo (7).The splint (1) comprises on one side the dental footprint (6) in the occlusion position, on the opposite side it comprises a support structure (7) on the receiving surface of the splint (5) of the base body (3) and connection elements (8) between the dental footprint (6) and the support structure (7).

Para relacionar los datos obtenidos del paciente con el articulador (2) y por tanto posicionar el piano oclusal del paciente en el articulador (2) se relacionan los datos radiologicos obtenidos con el piano de referenda del articulador, que como ya se ha comentado es la horizontal verdadera. Para obtener dicha referenda se realiza un protocolo de trabajo virtual en el que se emplean dos pianos de referenda.To relate the data obtained from the patient with the articulator (2) and therefore position the patient's occlusal piano in the articulator (2), the radiological data obtained is related to the reference piano of the articulator, which as already mentioned is the true horizontal. To obtain this reference, a virtual work protocol is performed in which two reference pianos are used.

Se parte de unas imagenes radiograficas del craneo (15) de un paciente, una vez tienes las citadas imagenes radiograficas se toma como referenda un primer piano de referenda (14) del paciente determinado por varios puntos oseos, con la condicion de que dicho primer piano de referenda (14) sea un piano paralelo a la horizontal verdadera del paciente y consecuentemente a la parte del articulador (2) que representa dicha horizontal verdadera. (ver figura 4)It is based on some radiographic images of the skull (15) of a patient, once you have the aforementioned radiographic images, a first reference piano (14) of the patient determined by several bone points is taken as a reference, with the condition that said first piano of reference (14) is a piano parallel to the true horizontal of the patient and consequently to the part of the articulator (2) that represents said true horizontal. (see figure 4)

El segundo piano de referenda (16) que se utiliza es la vertical verdadera que se emplea como referenda para el centrado del craneo (15) y relacionar la vertical verdadera con los registros obtenidos de las estructuras oseas, al igual que ocurre con el arco facial.The second reference piano (16) that is used is the true vertical that is used as a reference for the centering of the skull (15) and relate the true vertical with the records obtained from the bone structures, as is the case with the facial arch .
