Filter by:The present study will compare the effectiveness of adhesive nasoalveolar molding (GS-NAM) and conventional nasoalveolar molding on the alveolar ridge, nasal, and labial growth in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. objectives: - 1. Evaluation of the anatomical position of the greater and lesser segments of the maxilla related to a stable midline anatomical point. 2. Evaluation of the nasal symmetry.
This study is designed to compare 2 different designs of nasal stents in conjunction with nasoalveolar molding appliance regarding the changes in nose and lip esthetics in infants with cleft lip and palate.
Achieving speech that is understandable and acceptable to others is the key outcome in cleft treatment. Therefore, speech therapy provided by a speech-language pathologist is necessary. This intervention is traditionally provided twice per week for 30 minutes for months or even years by first-line speech-language pathologists. Unfortunately, this low intensity intervention is based on a historical context rather than scientific evidence. This means that current speech therapy knows several shortcomings including poor outcomes, treatment fatigue and high costs related to year-long therapy. Because of these issues, the use of high intensity speech intervention is proposed. Even though solid proof-of-concepts exist for this model, it has not yet found its way into clinical practice. Before this intensity can be implemented and utilized in clinical practice, the effect of this novel program on a larger societal scale must be determined. This project will compare the effect of high intensity and low intensity speech intervention in children with a cleft palate in terms of speech, quality of life, and cost-utility as provided by first-line speech-language pathologists by conducting a large-scale randomized controlled trial. The final goal is to utilize this program in clinical practice and to create awareness of the benefits for children with a cleft palate among stakeholders.
Distraction osteogenesis is the treatment of choice in management of severe maxillary anteroposterior deficiency allowing for a progressive bone generation and simultaneous expansion of the surrounding scarred soft tissue & better long-term stability & less relapse rate.
Lip taping was proven as simple, handy technique of PSIO for alveolar molding yielding enhanced maxillary arch dimensions in UCCLP infants. The approach behind this study is to combine this simple step with a digitally designed 3D printed customized nasal molding device to enhance the naslolabial esthetics and maxillary arch dimensions in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate, employing full digital workflow.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the skeletal and dental maturation of cleft lip and palate patients in a sample of Egyptian population using the CVM as indicator for the skeletal maturation and the Demirjian method as indicator for the dental one when compared to a group of Egyptian non-CLP subjects of the same age.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of surgically repaired UCLP on dental arch dimensions and the need for orthodontic intervention in comparison with other healthy children , the presence of dental anomalies and the best possible standards of care among this group of Egyptian children.
Aim of the study: to compare the effect of Hyrax appliance and the Haas appliance improving the transverse skeletal and dental dimensions in cleft lip and palate patients during mixed dentition.
Direct benefit of the research to assess the relationship between cleft lip and / or palate (different types) and ABO blood groups.
Newborns with unilateral cleft lip/ palate will be treated pre-surgically by Vacuum formed aligners in order to evaluate its effect on Nasoalveolar complex.
