  • 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.

  • This study is to evaluate the growth and development of the maxilla advanced by transoral distraction osteogenesis of cleft lip and palate children. Subjects are two patients diagnosed as maxillary hypoplasia with cleft lip and palate, and followed up over 5 years after distraction. At the age of 11.4 years (mean), the distraction had been rendered and periodically taken lateral cephalograms were analysed to trace the growth of the maxilla. This cephalometric study showed continuous growth and development of the distracted maxilla to be stable through long term follow-up.

  • It is well known that the main factor which contributes to the relapse of orthognathic surgery for Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) patients is post-operative scar on hard and soft palate of maxilla. Therefore, to compensate the amount of relapse, though it cannot be the perfect way to prevent orthodontic, orthopedic relapse, the Le-fort I osteotomy of maxilla and set-back osteotomy of mandible are generally carried-out simultaneously. We are to review the factors contribute to the relapse of CLP patients after orthognathic surgery through this clinical case : The relapse of Skeletal Class III tendency immediately after orthognathic surgery for grown up CLP patients.

  • Palatoplasty using Furlow's double-opposing Z-plasty has been performed from June, 1995 to September, 1999 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. The goal of this study is to determine the optimal timing of repair and cleft severity affecting velopharyngeal function. This is the retrospective study of patients operated by the second author. The mean age of patients was 10.53 months. The patients could be divided into three groups-isolated cleft palate(n=70), unilateral cleft lip and palate(n=88), and bilateral cleft lip and palate(n=42). To evaluate the velopharyngeal function, we used two parameters, speech evaluation and cineofluorography using DSR(digital subtraction radiography). Also, to determine the relevance between cleft severity and speech development, we measured the distance between maxillary tuberosities and cleft margins. Among 200 patients, about 96% had no or minimal hypernasality and 87% had no or mild nasal emission. The cleft width and length of soft palate seemed not to be related with the speech development. Palatoplasty at the age under 12 months resulted in less 'nasal emission' and better 'articulation' of the parameters that were assessed at the age of 7 years. It can be concluded Furlow palatoplasty shows satisfactory results and also it seems that it is better to perform the operation before the age of 12 months.
