目的:探讨口内入路牵引成骨技术在唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨发育不良患者成年之前矫治中的作用。方法:对12例9～12岁唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨明显发育不良者,采用高位LeFortI型截骨术,将上颌骨完全断离,安装口内牵引器,按一定的速度和频率牵引上颌骨向前,对术前、术后头颅定位X线侧位片进行颅颌面软硬组织的测量分析,数据以SPSS10.0统计软件包进行t检验。结果:本组病例上颌骨牵引前移明显,SNA角增加7°～11°,软组织鼻尖点、鼻底点及上唇最突点明显前移,面部外形得到明显改善,上下前牙获得正常覆牙合、覆盖关系。随访3～36个月,咬合关系保持稳定。结论:骨牵引成骨技术可以很好地用于矫治唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨发育不良,早期解除上颌骨畸形,使面部软组织得到适应性改变,面型更为协调,避免或减轻口颌系统继发畸形和功能障碍,不失为唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨发育不良的有效治疗方法。     

牵引成骨术治疗唇腭裂继发颌骨畸形稳定性的研究进展

牵引成骨术（distraction osteogenesis,DO）在口腔颌面外科的应用越来越广,为唇腭裂继发颌骨畸形治疗提供了新的手段。DO按牵引类型主要分为内置式牵引（intraoral distraction osteogenesis, IDO）和外置式牵引（extraoral distraction osteogenesis, EDO）2种,在大距离前徙上颌骨时,唇腭裂牵引成骨术后的长期稳定性和复发的报道还很少。本文就牵引成骨治疗唇腭裂继发颌骨畸形术后的长期稳定性的临床研究进展作一综述。     

唇腭裂患者上颌骨牵引成骨术后口鼻腔共鸣的变化

目的:通过研究行颅外支架式上颌骨牵引成骨术(rigidexternaldistraction,RED)的唇腭裂患者前后过度鼻音、过低鼻音的变化,并结合腭咽部结构功能变化、上颌骨前移幅度等因素,综合分析上颌骨RED对口鼻腔共鸣的影响。方法:1999年至2001年行RED治疗的唇腭裂术后上颌发育不足患者21例,其中男性13例,女性8例,平均年龄15.05岁。所有患者RED手术前后语音测听、拍摄静止位及[i]位头颅定位片测量腭咽闭合功能,对检测结果行非参数检验。结果:RED术后患者过度鼻音程度显著加重。RED前61.9%患者存在过度鼻音,RED术后增至90.5%,所有患者均未出现过低鼻音。上颌骨前移幅度对患者术后过度鼻音加重程度有显著影响。患者腭咽闭合冠状收缩不全率(RVCR)和RED前的过度鼻音程度也直接影响术后的过度鼻音程度。结论:唇腭裂患者经RED前移上颌骨后,鼻腔共鸣增加,过度鼻音加重。     

Virtual planning and CAD/CAM-assisted distraction for maxillary hypoplasia in cleft lip and palate patients: Accuracy evaluation and clinical outcome

The aim of this prospective study was to report the experience with a specific guided distraction protocol for the treatment of CLP patients with severe midface hypoplasia.From January 2016 to April 2019, six consecutive, non-growing, CLP patients with maxillary hypoplasia underwent a specific distraction protocol based on the use of VSP, CAD/CAM-generated surgical splints, cutting guides, prebent internal maxillary distractors, early removal of distractors, and acute callus manipulation and fixation.STL files for VSP, using multislice CT scans taken preoperatively (T0) and 3 months after distractor removal (T1) were superimposed using the free software 3D Slicer and Geomagic Wrap to evaluate the accuracy of maxillary repositioning and assess 3D bone changes. Clinical outcome was evaluated at the 1-year follow-up (T2).The patients and surgeon were satisfied with the occlusal and aesthetic outcomes. A maximum difference of 2 mm between the VSP and the actual surgical outcome was chosen as the success criterion for accuracy. The average linear difference for selected points was <2 mm in four patients and >2 mm in two patients. The average distance of the postoperative maxilla from the VSP model was 2.28 mm (median 1.85), while the average forward movement of the maxilla was 10.18 mmThe protocol used is effective and accurate in the correction of severe maxillary hypoplasia in CLP patients. Early removal of the distractor and stabilization with plates reduces patient discomfort and does not jeopardize stability. This protocol should be reserved for complex cases due to the costs of the procedure, which are not negligible.     

唇腭裂患者上颌骨牵引成骨术后发音方式的变化

目的:通过对行颅外支架式上颌骨牵引成骨术(rigidexternaldistraction,RED)唇腭裂患者治疗前后的错误发音数量变化、不同发音部位、不同发音方法以及不同类型错误发音发生特点及其变化评价,分析上颌骨RED对患者发音方式的影响。方法:1999年至2001年行上颌骨RED的唇腭裂术后上颌发育不足患者21例,其中男性13例,女性8例,平均年龄15.05岁。所有患者RED前后进行语音测听并分类。治疗前后错误发音的差异性用非参数检验。结果:RED术后42.9%患者错误发音数较RED前增加,19.0%减少,38.1%无变化。从发音部位,舌尖前音错误发音发生率最高,其次为舌面音。从发音方法,错误发音多发于塞擦音。错误发音类型以咽喉摩擦/爆破音为主,其次为腭化构音和声门爆破音。上颌骨RED后腭化构音累及音节数减少,但咽喉摩擦/爆破音和声门爆破音反而增加,尤其是咽喉摩擦/爆破音。结论:唇腭裂患者经RED前移上颌骨后,会对患者发音方式产生影响,在行语音治疗前需考虑全面。     

唇腭裂患者不同截骨方式下上颌骨外置式牵引成骨的比较

目的：利用颅外支架外固定式牵引器治疗唇腭裂继发上颌骨重度发育不足患者,分别采用上颌骨前段截骨和整块截骨方式,探讨不同截骨方式的牵引成骨效果。方法：唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨重度发育不足患者10例,反覆盖均超过10mm。采用传统整块截骨5例,前段分块截骨5例,均利用颅外支架固定式牵引器行术后牵引。通过头影测量分析,比较其矫治效果。利用SPSS13.0软件包对数据进行独立样本t检验。结果：所有患者均成骨良好,无明显并发症,面形及咬合显著改善。牵引成骨后,SNA角、NA与FH夹角、前牙覆盖、零子午线与Sn距离等显著增加。前段截骨组硬腭长度增加7.50mm,2组间有显著差异（P〈0.05）。而软腭长度、静止位腭咽腔深度无显著差异。结论：上颌骨前段截骨牵引在增加硬腭和牙弓长度、避免腭咽腔深度增加及腭咽闭合功能恶化方面具有更大优势,是一种较为理想的矫治唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨发育不足的方法。     

Long-term skeletal stability after maxillary advancement with distraction osteogenesis in cleft lip and palate patients: A systematic review

Objective:To systematically review the long-term skeletal stability after maxillary advancement with distraction osteogenesis (DO) in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients.Materials and Methods:Electronic databases, grey literature, and reference list searches were conducted. The inclusion criteria were stability of maxillary advancement with distraction osteogenesis assessed at the posttreatment follow-up ≥ 1 year in CLP patients. Full articles were retrieved from abstracts or titles that appear to meet the inclusion criteria or lacked sufficient detail for immediate exclusion. Once full articles were collected, they were again reviewed considering more detailed inclusion criteria for a final selection decision. A methodologic quality assessment tool was utilized.Results:Thirty abstracts/titles met the initial search criteria, and 13 articles were finally selected. Overall, methodologic quality scores were high in only one randomized clinical trial. After maxillary advancement with DO in CLP patients, the long-term horizontal relapse in A-point was less than 15% in eight studies and between 20% and 25% in four studies. The study that was judged as a high-quality study reported 8.2% horizontal relapse in A-point. The relapse rate was higher in DO with external distracter device than DO with internal distracter device.Conclusions:Current evidence suggests maxillary advancement with DO has good stability in CLP patients with moderate and severe maxillary hypoplasia.     

Periodontal changes following distraction osteogenesis in patients with cleft lip and palate: a clinical trial

ObjectivesTo evaluate inflammatory mediator levels and periodontal changes following distraction osteogenesis (DO) in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) using mid-maxillary distraction (MMD).Materials and MethodsA total of 20 healthy patients with CLP with Class III malocclusion were included. Segmental forward advancement of the anterior maxilla from the second premolars on both sides using DO was performed. A custom-made, tooth-borne distractor connecting buccal molar segments to the anterior maxilla was used for 7 days with 0.5-mm distraction for the first 2 days and then increased to 1 mm daily until overcorrection. Crevicular interleukin IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor TNF-α levels were measured during distraction. Periodontal clinical parameters and indices were recorded at baseline and 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Soft tissue healing was evaluated histologically at 2 and 4 weeks after distraction.ResultsThe periodontal parameters remained stable during the follow-up periods. Insignificant increases in the level of inflammatory cytokines compared with the control were observed. Histological findings revealed mild inflammatory and structural changes in the gingiva immediately after distraction, whereas regeneration was noticed after 4 weeks.ConclusionsMMD was an effective technique in treating patients with CLP, leading to new bone and soft tissue formation without significant detrimental effect on the periodontium of the adjacent teeth.     

Biomechanical evaluation of sagittal maxillary internal distraction osteogenesis in unilateral cleft lip and palate patient and noncleft patients: A three-dimensional finite element analysis

Objective:To compare the pattern and amount of stress and displacement during maxillary sagittal distraction osteogenesis (DO) between a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and a noncleft patient.Materials and Methods:Three-dimensional finite element models for both skulls were constructed. Displacements of the surface landmarks and stress distributions in the circummaxillary sutures were analyzed after an anterior displacement of 6 mm was loaded to the elements where the inferior plates of the distractor were assumed to be fixed and were below the Le Fort I osteotomy line.Results:In sagittal plane, more forward movement was found on the noncleft side in the UCLP model (−6.401 mm on cleft side and −6.651 mm on noncleft side for the central incisor region). However, similar amounts of forward movement were seen in the control model. In the vertical plane, a clockwise rotation occurred in the UCLP model, whereas a counterclockwise rotation was seen in the control model. The mathematical UCLP model also showed higher stress values on the sutura nasomaxillaris, frontonasalis, and zygomatiomaxillaris on the cleft side than on the normal side.Conclusions:Not only did the sagittal distraction forces produce advancement forces at the intermaxillary sutures, but more stress was also present on the sutura nasomaxillaris, sutura frontonasalis, and sutura zygomaticomaxillaris on the cleft side than on the noncleft side.     

唇腭裂患者上颌骨牵引成骨术后[i]和[S]声学特性的变化

目的:通过研究行颅外支架式上颌骨牵引成骨术(rigid external distraction,RED)的唇腭裂患者治疗前后元音[i]和擦音[s]的声学特性变化,分析上颌骨牵引成骨术对患者腭咽闭合功能和舌位的影响。方法:1999年至2001年行颅外支架式上颌骨牵引成骨术的唇腭裂术后上颌发育不足患者21例,其中男性13例,女性8例,平均年龄15.05岁。所有患者RED手术前后测量元音[i]擦音[s]的声学指标。用非参数检验比较治疗前后[i]和[s]声学特性的变化,并绘制[i]的声学舌位图。结果:RED后患者元音[i]基频能量明显加强,擦音[s]的能量明显降低。RED前后元音[i]声学舌位图上舌位无明显变化,RED后擦音[s]强频区向高频区移动。结论:唇腭裂患者经RED前移上颌骨后,腭咽闭合功能恶化,鼻腔共鸣增加,辅音趋向无力,同时发音时舌向前运动增加。     

Adult patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate treated using bone graft followed by lateral distraction: A case report

This is a case report of comprehensive treatment describing the management of an adult patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate who showed severe maxillary transverse deficiency caused by bilateral alveolar clefts. Since the residual alveolar clefts were extremely wide, we performed bone graft into the alveolar clefts first and then expanded the asymmetrically narrowed maxilla by asymmetric transverse distraction osteogenesis, in which an incision for osteotomy was made at the repaired bone bridge. The treatment accomplished successful reconstruction of the dental arches and occlusion. Aesthetic improvement was noted, with no discernible post-treatment relapse of occlusion after two years’ retention.     

Treatment of severe maxillary hypoplasia with oligodontia and complete bilateral cleft lip and palate by maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis

Effective maxillary advance treatment is difficult to achieve without impairing velopharyngeal function in patients with severe maxillary deficiency. We describe successful orthodontic treatment using maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis (MASDO) in a patient with cleft lip and palate. A 20-year-old woman with bilateral cleft lip and palate, multiple congenitally missing teeth, reduced maxilla, concave soft-tissue profile, and skeletal Class III jaw relationship was treated with a combination of orthodontic treatment and MASDO. After treatment, the anterior maxilla was displaced forward with new bone formation induced in the distraction gap for insertion of dental implants. Maxillary hypoplasia was successfully treated while preserving the velopharyngeal function with MASDO. We suggest that MASDO is useful for patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia.     

唇腭裂患者牵张成骨术后的侧貌变化

目的：通过对唇腭裂术后继发上颌骨发育不足患者进行口外支架式前牵张治疗术后6～24个月的随访,观察分析其侧貌变化,为合理使用牵张器提供参考。方法：选取1998—2002年间上海交通大学医学院附属第九人民医院进行牵张成骨治疗、按时随访的唇腭裂患者14例进行术后随访分析。随访期分别为术后3、6、12、24个月,分别拍摄头颅定位侧位片及照片,记录患者的侧貌变化。结果：14例患者在牵张成骨术后6个月,至术后24个月,3例表现为双颌前突畸形,3例仍表现为面中部凹陷,1例表现为前牙开。结论：牵张成骨术治疗唇腭裂术后上颌骨发育不足患者具有一定优势,但牵张方向及牵张量难以控制,术后侧貌时不尽满意。因此,唇腭裂患者继发上颌骨发育不足在行牵张成骨术治疗时,应综合考虑多种因素的影响。     

Early secondary alveoloplasty in cleft lip and palate

The aims of this study were to present a personal surgical technique throughout the review of international literature concerning surgical techniques, objectives, and outcomes in early secondary alveoloplasty and to describe our personal surgical techniques in alveolar bone defect repair in cleft lip and palate.Throughout a literature analysis, it is now settled that early secondary alveoloplasty could reestablish the continuity of alveolar bone and prevent upper dental arch collapse after presurgical orthopedic upper maxilla expansion; it also might give a good bone support for teeth facing the cleft and allow the eruption of permanent elements with the bone graft and rebalance the symmetry of dental arch, improve facial aesthetic, guarantee an adequate amount of bone tissue for a further prosthetic reconstruction with implant, and finally close the eventual oronasal fistula.The surgical technique we are presenting permitted a total number of 35 early secondary alveoloplasty on which a long-term follow-up is still taking place.We can assess that early secondary alveoloplasty must be performed before permanent canine eruption. Iliac crest is the suggested donor site for bone grafting; orthopedic and orthodontic treatments must be performed in association with surgery, and if there is the dental element agenesia, an implantation treatment must be considered.     

Mandibular effects of maxillary distraction osteogenesis in cleft lip and palate

Maxillary distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a reliable treatment for severe maxillary deficiency in cleft lip and palate (CLP). The objective was to analyze its long-term effects on the mandible. A retrospective study of 24 CLP treated with maxillary DO using the Polley and Figueroa technique was done; patients were followed for more than 4 years. Preoperative (T0), 6–12 months postoperative (T1), and ≥4 years postoperative (T2) cephalometric radiographs were evaluated. A classical cephalometric analysis was used to assess treatment stability, and a Procrustes superimposition method was used to assess local changes in the shape of the mandible. The mean age of patients at T0 was 15.4 ± 4.1 years. SNA increased at T1 and T2 (P < 0.001), with no significant relapse between T1 and T2, indicating stability at 1 year after treatment (T0 = 72.4 ± 5.3°; T1 = 81.3 ± 6.2°; T2 = 79.9 ± 6.1°). SNB, facial angle, gonial angle, and symphyseal angle remained stable. Long-term analysis of the mandible demonstrated a minimal counter-clockwise rotation of the body (mandibular plane = −0.2 ± 3.2°) and ramus (−0.6 ± 4.3°). Maxillary DO in CLP had no significant effect on the shape or rotation of the mandible. The maxillary advancement remained stable after 1 year.     

Early surgical outcomes in 5-year-old patients with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the surgical outcome of 5-year-old subjects with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate who had been operated on by a single surgeon. DESIGN: Retrospective consecutive outcome study. Setting: The cleft lip and palate center at Frenchay Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, U.K. Participants: All patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate between May 1992 and April 1998 were identified and their study models were located. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The reasons for failing to obtain study models were recorded. The "test" study models were combined randomly with a "gold standard" set of study models to give a group of 53 for assessment purposes. These study models were assessed twice by two examiners independently using the 5-Year-Olds' Index. The weighted kappa (kappa) statistic and components of variance were used to establish the levels of agreement within and between examiners, as well as between the gold standard and the examiners. RESULTS: Thirty sets of study models out of a possible 43 were located. The most common reason for not obtaining records was poor cooperation. More than 50% of study models were assessed as being good outcomes (Index groups 1 and 2), whereas fewer than 20% of the records were evaluated as being poor outcomes (Index groups 4 and 5). There was good inter- and intraexaminer agreement and agreement with the gold standard values. CONCLUSION: Study model collection in this age group can be difficult due to patient cooperation.     

牵张成骨术治疗腭裂术后严重上颌骨后缩畸形

目的：观察应用牵张成骨技术治疗腭裂术后继发的严重上颌骨后缩畸形的效果。方法：对10例腭裂术后继发严重上颌骨后缩畸形的患者，术前常规行头影测量和模型外科设计；手术采用上颌骨Le Fort Ⅰ型截骨术，4例使用颅骨支抗外置式牵张器，其余患者采用内置式牵张器进行骨牵张术；术后延迟期为7d，牵张节律为0．8—1mm／d，2—4次／d，牵张结束后固定8-12周。结果：术后伤口一期愈合，牵张过程顺利，最大牵张距离为22mm，最小距离为15mm；患者的面形得到明显改善，未出现畸形愈合或骨不连接等并发症。结论：牵张成骨技术应用于腭裂术后继发的严重上颌骨后缩畸形，不需要植骨，可有效地达到上颌骨前徙、明显改善面形的目的。     

Strategies for the advancement of surgical methods in cleft lip and palate.

This paper examines the clinical research methodologies used for the evaluation of cleft lip and palate therapies. A survey of clinical reports in the Cleft Palate Journal between 1964 and 1988 revealed that almost all used retrospective methods (96%). The authors examine the merits and biases associated with retrospective evaluation of therapies and compared these to prospective randomized clinical trials. The strengths and weaknesses of clinical trials are discussed in relation to the long-term evaluation of primary surgery in cleft patients. For these to be successful, further work is needed to investigate questions such as sample size, possible predictors of long-term outcome, and improved methods of presurgical assessment. The authors conclude that if the uncertainties associated with the choice of primary cleft surgery are to be resolved, the challenge of multicenter prospective clinical trials must be faced by the various disciplines involved in cleft palate clinical research.
