Abstract

For the treatment of cleft palate patients, orthognathic surgery has been used by standard protocol. Predictable results have been achieved with standard techniques in slight to moderate maxillary hypoplasia. However, limited advancement and high relapse rate was reported in severe cases. The purpose of the present study was to review the clinical results of distraction osteogenesis in the patients with cleft lip and palate. Distraction osteogenesis has improved results in these patients by allowing soft tissue relaxation and gradual bone generation. Therefore, greater movement of the craniofacial skeleton is possible in severe cases of maxillary retrusion with lower relapse rates. In conclusion, distraction osteogenesis for the advancement of hypoplastic maxilla of cleft patients has shown successful treatment method.
