Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if the use of Bone Morphogenic Protein(BMP)/Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) versus the use of autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (ICBG) will result in an increase in total cost effectiveness for patients undergoing alveolar bone graft (ABG) for Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) and to see if patients who are treated with DBM/BMP will have reduced post-operative pain scores,reduced operative times,and similar rates of bone healing compared to conventional ICBG.
The purpose of this study is to use computers to simulate airflow in 3D construction of your nasal cavity generated from cone beam CT images. The results from computer simulations will help researchers identify the severity of cleft-induced nasal dysfunction and assess the impact of current treatment in restoring breathing function. The ultimate goal is to improve post-surgery outcomes to restore nasal breathing function to normal levels.
Retrospective analysis of the current surgical method to repair unilateral cleft lip and palate malformations at our centre
Peri-operative opioid administration has long been one of the three pillars of 'balanced anaesthesia',over the span of just a few years,opioids were widely used in perioperative analgesia because of pain as the fifth vital sign.However, opioid administration is not without concern and is associated with many side-effects such as constipation, urinary retention, respiratory depression and postoperative nausea and vomiting .Cleft lip,palate,alveolus are common craniofacial abnormalities and usually require surgical repair.These patients have risks for various perioperative complications due to their young age and craniofacial abnormalities. This study was designed to compare the effects of opioid based anesthesia（OBA） and opioid free anesthesia(OFA )on perioperative complications in patients with in cleft lip,palate,alveolus surgery, including respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting, hemodynamic effects, etc.
The purpose of this study is to compare, prospectively, the quality of life of patients with cleft lip and palate before and after orthognathic surgery. This is done through two validated questionnaires: OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) and OQLQ (Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire) Improving the quality of life is the goal of any functional treatment. The demonstration of its improvement would validate the validity of this additional surgery for patients with cleft lip and palate.
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.
During primary cleft lip repair in patients who were born with cleft lip and palate, usage of cleft margin flap with anterior palatal closure will be done in an attempt to close the Naso-alveolar fistula (defect) that usually occur and remain in those patients post-operatively.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common birth defects of craniofacial development. The surgical repair of this deformity requires comprehensive management plans and well cooperating interdisciplinary cleft teams. Secondary cleft rhinoplasty remains one of the most challenging procedures and aims for restoring nostril symmetry, enhancing nasal function, and improvement of aesthetic outcomes.
Investigators aim to evaluate the influence of cleft surgery on the tissue microcirculation of the palate with a non-invasive measurement.
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.
