Filter by:The study is a randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a dual light ultrasonic toothbrush on periodontal health in orthodontic patients undergoing surgery. Patients with cleft lip and palate undergo bone graft and orthognathic surgery. The study will compare the periodontal outcomes in patients who use these toothbrushes during the post-surgical period.
Speech therapy in children with a palate deals with two scientific challenges that will be addressed in this project. The first challenge is selecting the best speech approach for a child with a specific cleft speech characteristic (CSC). Many speech therapists use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to treat compensatory CSCs resulting in poor short- and long-term speech outcomes. To increase the effectiveness and quality of cleft speech care, it is necessary to find the best match between a specific therapy and a given type of CSC. Therefore, this proposal will compare the effect of 3 different speech approaches on the speech and quality of life in Dutch speaking children with different types of CSCs. The second challenge is selecting the best speech approach to enhance long-term learning and transfer of newly established speech skills to untrained consonants. To date, research mainly focused on immediate therapy effects. It is unknown if permanent speech changes occur. Hence, this project will also investigate the short-term and long-term learning effects (retention and transfer) of the different speech approaches from the first objective. This proposal will improve evidence-based and patient-tailored cleft speech therapy.
Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of feeding appliance for congenital cleft lip and palate infants on the middle ear function
In retrospective data search the investigators will identified the cumulative consumption of opioid analgesics during surgery and 24 hours after surgery in neonate with cleft lips who underwent primary cleft lip repair surgery.
The present study aims at clinical and radiographic evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Bonmaker ATB powder combined with a novel split thickness papilla curtain flap in the treatment of alveolar cleft defects.
The nasal deformity is an abnormality in the appearance and structure of the nose in cleft patients having unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). It involves the displacement of the lower lateral nasal cartilage, oblique and short columella, depressed dome, overhanging nostril apex, and deviated septum. Difficulty in breathing and smelling are the main problems of this deformity. Rhinoplasty for CLP patients is very complicated due to the complex nature of this type of deformity, especially in wide and bilateral cleft patients it is quite challenging.
The goal of this [clinical trial] is to [explore the attitudes of guardians with different educational background regarding the technique of impression registration as well as the compliance to using feeding appliances ] in [neonates]. Researchers will compare [conventional impression technique to digital impression]
In a prospective longitudinal study design, details in jaw-neck kinematics and electromyography (EMG) activity changes in patients (women and men) referred for surgical correction of basal relations between the maxilla and mandible over time; pre-operative and during follow-up 8 weeks and 18 months after surgical correction will be evaluated. The results will contribute with novel insights on jaw-neck motor function before, in short- and long-term after the surgical process. We will have blinded evaluation of outcomes.
This study includes Three Dimensional Evaluation of Maxillary Arch Changes After Using Two Different Construction Techniques of Nasoalveolar Molding Devices in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients (Randomized Controlled Trial) Null hypothesis: there is no difference between using conventionally constructed nasoalveolar molding device and using digitally constructed nasoalveolar molding device
Aim of the work: The study will be conducted to investigate the efficacy of microfat graftinig in cleft lip nasal deformities especially in young patients and those adults who don't need major correction after rhinoplasty.
