Long-term effects of palate repair on craniofacial morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the long-term effects of palate repair on craniofacial growth in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING: Sri Lankan Cleft Lip and Palate Project. SUBJECTS: Forty-eight adults with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate, 29 men and 19 women, had lip repair only (LRO group). Fifty-eight adults with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate, 35 men and 23 women, had lip and palate repairs by the age of 9 (LPR group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical notes were used to record surgical treatment histories. Cephalometry was used to determine craniofacial morphology. RESULTS: In the lip and palate repair group, the depth of the bony pharynx (Ba-PMP), the maxillary length at the alveolar level (PMP-A), the effective length of the maxilla (Ar-IZ, Ar-ANS, Ar-A), the maxillary protrusion (S-N-ANS, SNA), the anteroposterior jaw relation (ANS-N-Pog, ANB), and the overjet were smaller than in the lip repair only group. There were no significant differences in the maxillary length at the basal level (PMP-IZ, PMP-ANS) and the anterior and posterior maxillary heights (N-ANS and R-PMP, respectively) in the two groups. CONCLUSION: Palate repair inhibits the forward displacement of the basal maxilla and anteroposterior development of the maxillary dentoalveolus in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Palate repair has no detrimental effects on the downward displacement of the basal maxilla or on palatal remodeling in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.     

Hard palate repair timing and facial morphology in unilateral cleft lip and palate: Before versus after pubertal peak velocity age.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether timing of hard palate repair, before versus after pubertal peak velocity age, had a significant effect on facial growth in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Sri Lankan Cleft Lip and Palate Project. PATIENTS: A total of 125 adult patients with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate were recruited and their last cephalometric radiographs were used. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical notes were used to record surgical treatment histories. Cephalometry was used to determine facial morphology. RESULTS: The patients who had hard palate repair after pubertal peak velocity age had a deeper bony pharynx (Ba-PMP), a longer alveolar maxilla (PMP-A), a longer effective length of the maxilla (Ar-ANS, Ar-A), and as a result had a more favorable anteroposterior jaw relation (ANS-N-Pog, ANB, NAPog) and larger overjet, compared with those who had hard palate repair before pubertal peak velocity age. CONCLUSION: Timing of hard palate repair significantly affects the growth of the maxilla in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Hard palate repair after (versus before) pubertal peak velocity age has a smaller adverse effect on the forward growth of the maxilla. This timing affects the forward displacement of the basal maxilla and the anteroposterior development of the maxillary dentoalveolus.     

Long-term effects of lip repair on dentofacial morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: Lateral cephalograms from the growth archive of the Sri Lankan Cleft Lip and Palate Project were analyzed in a cohort design to study the long-term effects of lip repair on dentofacial morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. METHODS: A total of 71 patients were recruited, including 23 adult patients with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate without surgical repair and 48 adult patients with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate who had lip repair, but without management of alveolus or anterior vomer. The design utilized exact matching on ethnicity and statistical control for gender and age. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The data support the hypothesis that lip repair primarily produces a bone-bending effect on the anterior maxillary alveolus (alveolar molding), accompanied by controlled uprighting of maxillary incisors, and secondarily produces a bone-remodeling effect (bone resorption) in the base of the anterior maxillary alveolus. When analyzed by the age at lip repair and the surgeon who performed lip repair, early lip repair produced a greater bone-remodeling effect than did late lip repair, and variation in the surgeon who performed lip repair had an insignificant impact on dentofacial morphology after adjusting for covariates.     

A comparison of growth impairment and orthodontic results in adult patients with clefts of palate and unilateral clefts of lip, palate and alveolus

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the long-term aesthetic and functional results of surgical and orthodontic treatment in patients with cleft palate and unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus. DESIGN: 30 patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus and 30 patients with isolated cleft palate, mean age of 18.9 years, were evaluated by cephalometric and model analysis a mean of 1.5 years after orthodontic treatment. In each group the surgical treatment has been similar. RESULTS: Model analysis: The sum of every mesiodistal tooth diameter in the maxilla and in the mandible was recorded according to the Bolton analysis. Twenty patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate and alveolus had relatively large upper dental arches and nine had relatively large lower dental arches. Twenty-two patients with cleft palates had large upper dental arches and seven had large mandibular arches. Eleven patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus and 18 patients with cleft palate had a negative space supply (the sum of the mesiodistal tooth diameters compared with the sagittal length of the alveolar ridge) in the region of the lateral teeth. All patients had persistent transverse space deficits that were increased on the side of the cleft in patients with cleft lip, palate, and alveolus. These unilateral transversal space deficits were recorded in 22 patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus and in 8 patients with isolated cleft palate. Sagittal measurements were reduced in 26 patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus and in 23 patients with cleft palate alone. The alveolar midline of the maxilla and the mandible were displaced in 25 patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus and in 19 patients with isolated cleft palate. Lateral cephalometric analysis: The lateral cephalograms taken at the same time as the models showed a mean SNA of 76.8 degrees and a NL-NSL angle of 8.7 degrees, indications of a tendency towards maxillary retrognathia in patients with unilateral cleft lip, palate, and alveolus. Patients with cleft palate had a mean SNA of 79.6 degrees and NL-NSL angle of 8.1 degrees. The anterior facial vertical index was within normal limits in patients with cleft lip, palate, and alveolus (44% vs 56%). An anterior facial height index of 42% compared with 58% in patients with isolated cleft palate indicated a slight reduction in midface height with an increase in the lower face as a consequence. CONCLUSION: Orthodontic and surgical treatment can result in satisfactory results on model analysis. However, there is specific growth impairment of the maxilla 1.5 years after termination of orthodontic treatment and this influences the final cephalometric analysis, particularly in patients with cleft lip, palate, and alveolus.

Growth of the fetal rat craniofacial complex secondary to the postfusion rupture of the palate.

Isolated cleft palate was created by in utero surgical rupture of the previously intact rat palate. Cephalometric analysis was performed on mandibular and maxillary growth and on nasal septal height. The findings showed that the surgical procedure has no effect, beside cleft palate production, on continuing fetal craniofacial growth.     

唇腭裂手术对上颌骨矢状向生长发育影响的研究

目的：研究唇腭裂手术对单侧完全性唇腭裂患者上颌骨矢状向生长发育的影响。方法：混合牙列期单侧完全性唇腭裂仅修复唇裂患者15例,唇腭裂术后患者18例;16岁以上恒牙列期单侧完全性唇腭裂仅修复唇裂患者15例,唇腭裂术后患者15例。所有患者均拍摄头颅定位侧位片,测量分析矢状方向的线距和角度;分别以相应年龄段的非唇腭裂正常者作为对照,采用SPSS11.0软件包对数据进行单因素方差分析（ANOVA）。结果：混合牙列期单侧完全性唇腭裂仅修复唇裂患者表现为上颌长度缩短,而唇腭裂术后患者除上颌长度的缩短外,还存在上颌位置后缩;16岁以上恒牙列单侧完全性唇腭裂仅修复唇裂患者主要表现为上颌位置后缩,存在明显Ⅲ类倾向,术后患者上颌位置后缩外,上颌长度也缩短。结论：唇裂手术及早期腭裂手术对上颌骨矢状向生长可能有干扰作用。     

Cleft palate and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome suffer numerous anomalies, which vary somewhat from case to case. Cleft palate in combination with this syndrome has rarely been reported in the literature. Through two cases, this report examines the staging of the surgical repairs and the role of macroglossia in cleft palate and the consequences of the scarred palate on mandibular development. RESULTS: Of four patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, only two had a cleft palate. The timing of the repair in these two children was different. Speech development was satisfactory in the first case but mediocre in the second. This result seemed to be related to a poor social environment. Mandibular prognathism persisted in both cases. CONCLUSION: The treatment of patients with cleft palate and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome remains complex. It is preferable not to operate on a cleft palate before performing a tongue reduction plasty, but rather to combine these two surgical interventions. This would reduce the risks of anesthesia and enable the palate to heal more efficiently. Surgical treatment should be performed after the age of 6 months and before problems in speech development occur. An orthognathic surgery at adolescence could be performed if prognathism persists. While the origin of the cleft palate is still being discussed, we cannot claim that macroglossia is related to the development of cleft palate, nor that the scarred palate has an impact on the mandibular development.     

Construction of the new dental arch in the prosthetic rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate. Case report

The authors describe the prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate. After the surgical and orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate patients the prosthodontic treatment was started to correct the palatal defect, the malocclusion and the missing teeth. The authors emphasize on preliminary steps by using diagnostic casts and try-in dentures and they also suggest other directives in the dental management of cleft lip and palate patients.

评价腭裂患者术后软腭功能的研究

腭裂术后患者腭咽闭合功能的恢复,是检查手术疗效的关键。而软腭的运动,又是腭咽闭合活动中的重要部分。本研究采用腭咽闭合图像处理定量检测系统和鼻咽腔钡剂造影X线摄片的方法,检测了90例不同手术年龄及手术方法腭裂患者的软腭功能。结果如下:采用传统性腭成形术的小年龄手术组(小于3岁)都能获得较为理想的软腭活动功能,而大年龄手术组(大于6岁)无论采用传统性腭成形术或Furlow＇s反向双Z瓣修复术,均无理想的软腭活动,证实了腭裂的手术年龄越小,软腭活动效果越理想的结论。作者并提出腭成形术宜早期进行。     

Mandibular morphology and spatial position in patients with clefts: intrinsic or iatrogenic?

Lateral cephalometric films of operated (Op) and non-operated (Nop) patients with cleft lip and alveolus, cleft lip and palate or cleft palate only, were compared to determine whether the shape or position of the mandible is affected by lip and/or palate surgery. The sample included 204 adult cleft patients, Caucasians of both sexes with one of the following three cleft types: complete unilateral lip and alveolus (n = 50), complete unilateral lip and palate (n = 68), and isolated palate (n = 86). The comparison involved 113 cleft patients operated at the conventional timing and 91 cleft patients who had received no surgical or orthodontic treatment. Comparison was done in order to ascertain if the surgery performed had had any influence upon mandibular growth. The results indicated that, in all three cleft types, the surgery did not induce significant changes in the mandibular growth.     

Hard palate repair timing and facial growth in unilateral cleft lip and palate: a longitudinal study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether timing of hard palate repair had a significant effect on facial growth in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). DESIGN: Retrospective longitudinal study. SETTING: Sri Lankan Cleft Lip and Palate Project. PATIENTS: A total of 104 patients with nonsyndromic UCLP who had hard palate repair by age 13 years, with their 290 cephalometric radiographs taken after lip and palate repair. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical notes were used to record surgical treatment histories. Cephalometry was used to determine facial morphology and growth rate. RESULTS: Timing of hard palate repair had a significant effect on the length and protrusion of the alveolar maxilla (PMP-A and SNA, respectively) and the anteroposterior alveolar jaw relation (ANB) at age 20 years but not on their growth rates. CONCLUSION: Timing of hard palate repair significantly affects the growth of the maxilla in patients with UCLP. Late hard palate repair has a smaller adverse effect than does early hard palate repair on the growth of the maxilla. This timing effect primarily affects the anteroposterior development of the maxillary dentoalveolus and is attributed to the development being undisturbed before closure of the hard palate.     

Cleft lip and palate: technical strategies for the primary palatoplasty

Surgical procedures in cleft lip and palate repair are continuously evolving. In the international literature, many guidelines exist dealing with different timings and surgical approaches. The authors present a technical strategy on primary palatoplasty and the guidelines for the surgical management of cleft lip and palate adopted by the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the Università "La Sapienza" of Rome. This approach has been developed to allow a physiological facial growth and to preserve the essential main features of the stomatognathic system enclosing phonation and swallowing. Moreover, the authors present their own surgical technique for primary palate repair at 24 to 48 months with the galea-pericranium free flap.     

唇腭裂治疗现状与展望

作者参考2004年美国224个唇腭裂治疗研究中心的调查结果,比较国内唇腭裂治疗现状,系统回顾了国内外在唇腭裂治疗方面的经验教训,从中发现唇腭裂修复不仅依赖于术者的经验和技巧,作为唇腭裂综合序列治疗的其他部分,其作用同样不能被忽视。作者认为:唇腭裂修复既需要各科间良好的合作,也需要医患间的良好配合;需要借鉴国外的先进模式,但也不能盲目照搬。     

Visual, auditory, and tactile temporal processing in children with oral clefts

Neurocognitive disorders may compromise the outcome of surgical cleft lip palate repair and thus need to be identified. Processing of rapidly changing sequential information (temporal processing) is a fundamental neurocognitive capacity that may contribute to various communication functions and has been found impaired in several developmental disorders. The occurrence of temporal processing difficulties in the cleft population is not known, however. We investigated the relation between oral clefting and temporal estimations of simultaneity/nonsimultaneity in visual, auditory, and tactile modalities. Subjects were 10-year-old controls and children with oral clefts of various types [i.e., cleft lip (alveolar), cleft lip and palate, cleft palate, and cleft palate submucous]. The visual and tactile tasks but not so clearly the auditory task differentiated the groups. Further, paralleling previous findings, the patients with cleft lip and palate outperformed the others, whereas the cognitive temporal processing acuity of the cleft palate and cleft palate submucous children was worse.     

Maxillary growth in a congenital cleft palate canine model for surgical research

We have recently presented the Old Spanish Pointer dog, with a 15–20% spontaneous congenital cleft palate rate, as a unique experimental model of this disease. This study aimed to describe the cleft palate of these dogs for surgical research purposes and to determine whether congenital cleft palate influences maxillofacial growth.Seven newborn Old Spanish Pointer dogs of both sexes, comprising a cleft palate group (n = 4) and a normal palate group (n = 3), were fed using the same technique. Macroscopic photographs and plaster casts from the palate, lateral radiographs and computer tomograms of the skull were taken sequentially over 41 weeks, starting at week 5.The cleft morphology, the size and the tissue characteristics in these dogs resembled the human cleft better than current available animal models. During growth, the cleft width varies. Most of the transverse and longitudinal measures of the palate were statistically lower in the cleft palate group. The cleft palate group showed hypoplasia of the naso-maxillary complex.This model of congenital cleft palate seems suitable for surgical research purposes. A reduced maxillofacial pre- and post-natal development is associated to the congenital cleft palate in the Old Spanish Pointer dog.     

An audit of the Yorkshire Regional Cleft Database

This study assessed the validity of the Yorkshire regional orofacial cleft database by comparing the computer-based records with locally collated records of primary surgical events for babies born over a 2-year period (1994-1995). One-hundred-and-thirty-two infants with clefts (excluding submucous cleft palate) were identified from the latter source with an equal proportion of unilateral cleft lip/palate and isolated cleft palate births. However, only 62 per cent of cases were recorded on the database and the reporting rate of individual cleft units was highly variable (43-85 per cent). In addition, there was a significant under-reporting of both cleft lip and isolated cleft palate cases (42 and 50 per cent ascertainment, respectively). Consequently, the database figures understated the prevalence of all cleft births, but especially of these two cleft subtypes. Conversely, the relative frequency of combined cleft lip and palate cases was exaggerated. The reasons for such discrepancies and possible improvements to data collection are discussed.
