Rotational Stability and Vault Outcomes of the EVO ICL Using Oblique Implanting Orientation Compared to Horizontal/Vertical Implanting Orientation

Key Points

This research aims to compare the rotational stability and vault outcomes of oblique versus horizontal/vertical implantation orientations of ICL.
Used UBM (Ultrasound Biomicroscopy) to guide implantation techniques
Compared oblique implantation with traditional horizontal/vertical orientations
Evaluated safety, efficacy, and vault predictability
Oblique implantation achieved safety and efficacy comparable to traditional methods
Good rotational stability was observed in the oblique group
Vault predictability was optimally maintained with oblique orientation

Abstract

UBM-guided customized oblique implantation of an ICL achieved safety, efficacy, and vault predictability comparable to traditional implanting orientations, with good rotational stability, offering an alternative design to achieve optimal vault. Long-term rotational stability requires further observation.
