Development of the Palate in Bilateral Orofacial Cleft Newborns One Year

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Early neonatal cheiloplasty is modified surgery protocol applied in the first week of newborn's life used for treating orofacial cleft patients. This prospective study analyzes the effects of early neonatal cheiloplasty on the growth and development of maxilla and palate during the observed period of one year.

Clinical Trial Description

Multidisciplinary treatment of patients with orofacial clefts begins immediately after birth. The first surgical procedure is early neonatal cheiloplasty applied in the first week of the newborn's life, which has been practiced in the Czech Republic for many years. It is a popular parental choice and has a lot of benefits compared to classic cheiloplasty performed between 3-6 months. Unrestricted growth of jaws is essential for the successful therapy of aesthetics and functions. Although there are known a lot of benefits to this surgery, its influence on facial growth is still being studied.

The methodology of this study is based on modern three-dimensional imaging methods and will be evaluated by classic and geometric morphometric analysis of virtual dental models. The existing database includes 137 virtual dental casts (complete and incomplete bilateral or unilateral cleft lip and palate).

The main aim is to verify that the effects of early neonatal cheiloplasty on the facial or palatal growth are minimal in affected individuals and therefore the subsequent development of these structures can be predicted at a later age. Other goals are to evaluate palatal morphology before and one year after early neonatal cheiloplasty, to assess growth of maxilla and palate using classic and geometric morphometry, to assess morphological differences between cleft types and to compare the results with previously published data of neonates operated by later operation protocol and noncleft control groups. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
