      Abstract

      Purpose

      Surgical guide plate can improve the accuracy of surgery, while its design process is complex and time-consuming. This study aimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to design standardized mandibular angle ostectomy guide plates and reduce clinician workload.

      Methods

      An intelligence algorithm was designed and trained to design guide plates, with a safety-ensuring penalty factor added. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to test the algorithm among patients who visited our hospital between 2020 and 2021 for mandibular angle ostectomy. We included patients diagnosed with mandibular angle hypertrophy and excluded those combined with other facial malformations. The guide plate design method acted as the primary predictor, which was AI algorithm vs experienced residents and the symmetry of plate-guided ostectomy was chosen as the primary outcome. The safety, shape, location, effectiveness and design duration of the guide plate were also recorded. The independent-samples t-test and Pearson's chi-squared test were used and P-values < 0.05 were considered significant.

      Results

      Fifty patients (7 male, 43 female; 27±4 years) were included. There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of safety (7.02 vs 5.25, p < 0.05) and design duration (24.98 vs 1685.08, p <0.05). There was no significant difference in ostectomy symmetry and shape, location, and effectiveness of the guide plates between the two groups.

      Conclusions

      The intelligent algorithm can improve safety and save time for guide plate design, ensuring other quality of the guide plates. It has good application prospects accurate mandibular angle ostectomy.
