We indicate some potential areas for the application of the model to integrate critical systems thinking in collaborative practices.

To use three-dimensional reconstruction measurement, preoperative diagnosis, surgical design, surgical simulation, guide plate production, navigation verification and effect evaluation of orthognathic surgery assisted by digital technology, in order to explore more scientific and reasonable programs and procedures of orthognathic surgery.

Twenty-five patients with congenital dental and maxillofacial deformity were selected as the experimental subjects, craniofacial spiral CT was conducted before surgery and CT data were imported into Mimics 20.0 software to establish a 3D head digital model. The bone landmarks in three-dimensional reconstruction digital model were selected, measured, analyzed and diagnosed, and the design of the surgical plan and the production of the guide plates were performed. Surgical navigation system was used to confirm the maxillary position, verify the bone retention and guide precise bone grinding during operation. Craniofacial spiral CT was conducted 1 week after surgery for postoperative validation of the surgical design protocol. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 software package.

All 25 patients were operated according to the digital orthognathic surgery design and procedure.There were no significant differences in X, Y and Z three-dimensional directions in 10 actual landmarks between the postoperative actual head model and the preoperative predictive head model（P>0.05）.

Orthognathic surgery assisted by digital technology has the advantages of precision and minimal invasiveness.

To investigate the 5-year survival and complication rates of implants placed in grafted sinuses with different surgical approaches and analyze the causes for failure.

This study retrospectively observed the prognosis of patients who underwent maxillary sinus augmentation by means of lateral window technique(LWT) or transalveolar osteotomy technique (TOT) and simultaneously installed implants performed, in Hefei Stomatological Hospital. The primary predictor variables were surgical approaches, including LWT and TOT. The primary outcome measurement was the 5-year implant survival rate, complication rates and failure causes. Potential confounders included diabetes, age at surgery, gender, smoking habit, oral hygiene, tooth position, length and diameter of implants and type of prosthesis. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed with SPSS 21.0 software package.

Fifty-nine patients (31 males and 28 females), installed with 93 implants, with a mean age of (61.3±10.1) years old, were enrates(P=0.014), and the occurrence incidence of controllable peri-implantitis in patient having a smoking habit was relatively higher, accounting for 6.8%(6/88), compared with patients without smoking habit. VB124 manufacturer Significant relationship between surgical approaches and implant complications was not observed(P=0.051).

Different surgical approaches for maxillary sinus augmentation do not significantly correlate with implant survival rates and implant complications. However, surgical approach is markedly related to the causes of failed implants. Smoking will lead to a decreased implant survival rate and controllable peri-implantitis.

To investigate the clinical effect of modified posterior dental splint in the treatment of anterior disk displacement without reduction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Eight-nine patients with anterior disk displacement without reduction of the TMJ who were treated in Stomatology Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2016 to October 2017 were selected in the study. 47 patients in the first group were treated by modified posterior dental splint, while 42 patients in the second group were treated by stabilization splint. The patients' pain index, mouth opening degrees were collected before treatment,3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after treatment. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 18.0 software package, multivariate test was used to compare the indicators between the two groups.

The effect of modified posterior dental splint on treating limited mouth opening was better than those of stabilization splint(P<0.05). In the treatment of joint pain, the two splints had no significant difference(P>0.05).

Modified posterior dental splint is a new type of splint for the treatment of TMJ disorders. It is suitable for clinical application.

To evaluate the sedative effect of dexmedetomidine in awake intubation and its influence on swallowing function.

Fifty patients with awake intubation in oral and maxillofacial surgery were randomly divided into two groups dexmedetomidine(DEX) group and midazolam+fentanyl(MF) group. 15 min before intubation, patients in DEX group were intravenously given 50 mL dexmedetomidine(1.0 μg/kg), and others in MF group were intravenously given 50 mL normal saline respectively. 5 min before intubation, 10 mL normal saline was given to DEX group, 0.02 mg/kg midazolam and 2.0 μg/kg fentanyl were given to MF group. HR, MAP, RR, SpO2, Ramsay sedation score and swallowing time were measured at different time points (before induction-T0, before intubation-T1 and after intubation-T2). SPSS 20.0 software package was used for data analysis.

There was no significant difference in HR, RR, MAP, SpO2 and swallowing time between the two groups at T0 time point(P>0.05). Compared with MF group, HR significantly decreased and swallowing time significantly shortened(P<0.
