Retrospective analysis of the current surgical method to repair unilateral cleft lip and palate malformations at our centre
This study evaluates, by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the alterations in the nasal septum and alveolar cleft volume that occur in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients after rapid maxillary expansion(RME). 40 unilateral CLP patients (mean age, 11.1 ± 2.2 years) with transverse maxillary deficiency that underwent to RME will be evaluated in this investigation. CBCT images were taken prior to RME (T0) and after the removal of the expander (T1), for adequate secondary bone graft surgical planning. The scans will be used to analyze the effects on the nasal septum, anterior and posterior maxillary basal width (MBW) and alveolar cleft volume.
Iliac crest autogenous bone graft is accepted as the most effective method for secondary alveolar cleft repair. However this method is associated with complications. As an alternative, mesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterials have been used for the rehabilitation of the alveolar bone cleft of patients with cleft lip and palate. This is a RCT comparing mesenchymal stem cells obtained from autogenous deciduous dental pulp associated with biomaterials versus iliac crest autogenous bone graft for secondary alveolar cleft repair.
OBJECTIVE: To compare otologic and rhinologic outcomes in patients with cleft palate according to surgical protocols and type of cleft. DESIGN: Monocentric retrospective and prospective analysis of medical reports. PATIENTS, PARTICIPANTS: All consecutively treated patients affected by a cleft palate, born between December 2006 and December 2009 and followed in the Montpellier University Hospital, at the age of 10 years. INTERVENTIONS: Results of audiometry, tympanometry, otoscopy, tubomanometry and rhinomanometry and orofacial tomodensitometry done at the age of 10 were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The history of ventilation tubes inserted, and the results at the EDTQ test were analyzed.
To evaluate the health status of the periodontium and dentition at the distraction osteogenesis site in CLP subjects using mid maxillary distraction (MMD).
Cleft lips and palate are one of the most frequent congenital malformation. From 2005 to 2009, a French study, conducted by Dr Bäumler et al. evaluated the accuracy of prenatal ultrasound in the diagnosis of cleft palate when cleft lip is present. The aim of this study is to continue this study from 2009 till 2016. The hypothesis is that the diagnosis rate is constant since 2005.
Description of the research question In children undergoing unilateral alveolar cleft reconstruction, would stem cells carried on collagen scaffold provide bone of a good quality and quantity if compared to autogenous bone grafting? Objective of the study: • Research hypothesis The tissue engineered constructs will provide sufficient bone of a good quality and quantity if compared to autogenous bone graft in children undergoing unilateral alveolar cleft reconstruction. - The objectives The primary objective: Assessment of bone volume (quantity) which will be provided by tissue engineered constructs compared to that provided by autogenous bone for maxillary alveolar cleft reconstruction. The secondary objective: Assessment of bone density (quality) which will be provided by tissue engineered constructs compared to that provided by autogenous bone for maxillary alveolar cleft reconstruction.
The aim of the study is to analyze the esthetic outcome of the first surgical repair of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The aim of the study is to identify differences in the aesthetic evaluation of full-face and nasolabial region 3-D images of CLP patients following primary lip repair by laypeople.
The aim of this study was to assess the electrical activity of the temporal and masseter muscles in cleft lip and palate (CLP) children with pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and in CLP individuals with no TMD by means of surface electromyography (sEMG). Another objective was to determine the diagnostic value of electromyography in identifying CLP patients with temporomandibular disorders. The sample comprised 87 children with CLP and mixed dentition. The children were assessed for the presence of TMD using of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) by a single examiner. A DAB-Bluetooth Instrument (Zebris Medical GmbH, Germany) was used to take electromyographical (EMG) recordings of the temporal and masseter muscles both in the mandibular rest position and during maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).
