Professor Yang Byung-eun of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital passed on the digital orthodontic surgery method to overseas medical staff
Nov 05, 2024
Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital Director Kim Hyung-soo) is leading the world's field of correction surgery with patient-specific surgery using digital technology.
Yang Byung-eun, a professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, recently taught Han, a professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Montefiore Medical Center, one of the top five hospitals in New York, the United States, a digital orthodontic surgery method using a face guide system and a patient-specific plate.
The face guide system is the first correction surgery method developed in Korea by Professor Yang Byung-eun in 2019. By implementing a patient's face as a 3D image with a digital simulation before surgery, virtual correction surgery is performed, and a surgical plan is made based on the results, it is possible to reduce the range of errors in bone joints that may occur during actual surgery. In addition, thanks to the production of patient-tailored fracture guides and bone joints through 3D printing technology, the adjustment process of cutting or bending ready-made plywood during surgery can be reduced, increasing surgical accuracy and shortening surgical time.
Professor Han observed Professor Yang Byung-eun's malocclusion and asymmetric correction surgery, looked at the surgical plan established with the face guide system, and confirmed how it was used in the actual surgery site. In addition, he acquired the know-how of Professor Yang and practiced how to make patient-specific osteophytes and bone joints through 3D printing and milling technologies.
Professor Han is interested in making correction plates using 3D printing and confirms related studies Yang Byung, a master of digital orthodontic surgery, said, "I got to know the professor. I was surprised to see that he shortened the operation time by accurately holding the jaw at the surgery site, and when I actually observed it, it seems that he is performing faster and more sophisticated surgery compared to the U.S. system." I want to go back to the U.S. and perform the correction surgery using the face guide I learned this time," he added.
Professor Yang said, "Digital orthodontic surgery can increase predictability, accuracy, and stability of surgery"In the future, we will continue research that will be more practically helpful to patients, such as changing patient-specific metal plates into 3D-printed bioabsorbent materials." he expressed his ambition.
Professor Yang Byung-eun is serving as the head of the dental school at Hallym University School of Medicine, the head of Hallym University's Graduate School of Clinical Dentistry, and the head of the dental clinical department at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital. He is also actively engaged in foreign academic activities by serving as the insurance director of the Korean Gangak Eye Surgery Association and Policy Development Committee of the Korean Aak Eye Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery Association. In 2024, he received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award for leading the development of medical technology.
