The role of the Orthodontist in cleft lip and cleft palate therapy is primarily ill correction of malocclusion which is required by practically every child who has these defects. He can contribute to the assessment of dento-facial growth and development. We may gain the possible limited correction of delayed malocclusion due to cleft lip and palate. The authors have attempted delayed orthodontic treatment of a cleft lip and palate of 12.9 years old girl, who had a cleft lip and palate of surgical closure at 2,3 and 4 years old.

A 20 year-old cleft lip and palate patient came for occlusal rehabilitation, but the constricted maxilla and early loss of posterior teeth called for an unusual treatment modalities. Distraction osteogenesis in the edentulous areas followed by artificial bone graft, dental implant along with orthodontic tooth movement were planed. Multidisciplinary treatment enabled both esthetic and functional oral rehabilitation of this patient.

Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital facial malformation and has a significant developmental, physical, and psychological impact on those with the deformity and their families. When treating the patients with unilateral cleft lip, many surgeons adopt the rotation advancement flap method originally developed by Millard, or the triangular flap technique developed by Tennison, Randall or the modifications of these techniques. Among these, Millard's rotation advancement flap method has its advantage in designing the flap using the patient's anatomic landmarks. For performing this rotation advancement technique, skillful operation is needed to obtain esthetically satisfactory results. Vomer flap sometimes is used to repair anterior hard palate in complete cleft lip and palate patients. Vomerine tissue is readily available in the vicinity of the palatal defect and elevation of the vomerine flap is relatively simple procedure. In this article, we will introduce the comprehensive vomer flap technique conjunction with primary lip closure and review the comparative studies of the outcome of simultaneous repair of cleft lip and cleft hard palate with Millard's rotation advancement method and vomer flap.

The closure of a wide alveolar cleft and fistula in cleft patients and the reconstruction of a maxillary dentoalveolar defect in bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients are challenging for both orthodontists and oromaxillofacial surgeons. It is due to the difficulty in achieving complete closure by using local attached gingiva (palatal flap) and the great volume of bone required for the graft. In this article, the authors used bifocal distraction-compression osteosynthesis(BDCO) to create a segment of new alveolar bone and attached gingiva for the complete approximation of a wide alveolar cleft/fistula and the reconstruction of a maxillary dentoalveolar defect. Since the alveoli and gingivae on both ends of the cleft were approximated after BDCO, the need for extensive alveolar bone grafting was eliminated. It also could create new alveolar bone and gingiva for orthodontic tooth movement and implant.

Background: Children with cleft lip and/or palate can be undernourished due to feeding difficulties after birth. A vicious cycle ensues where malnutrition and low body weight precludes the child from having the corrective surgery, in the absence of which the child fails to gain weight. This study aimed to identify the proportion of malnutrition, including the deficiency of major micronutrients, namely iron, folate and vitamin B12, in children with cleft lip and/or palate and thus help in finding out what nutritional interventions can improve the scenario for these children. Methods: All children less than 5 years with cleft lip and/or cleft palate attending our institute were included. On their first visit, following were recorded: demographic data, assessment of malnutrition, investigations: complete blood count and peripheral blood film examination; serum albumin, ferritin, iron, folate, and vitamin B12 levels. Results: Eighty-one children with cleft lip and/or palate were included. Mean age was 25.37±21.49 months (range, 3-60 months). In 53% of children suffered from moderate to severe wasting, according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Iron deficiency state was found in 91.6% of children. In 35.80% of children had vitamin B12 deficiency and 23.45% had folate deficiency. No correlation was found between iron deficiency and the type of deformity. Conclusion: Iron deficiency state is almost universally present in children with cleft lip and palate. Thus, iron and folic acid supplementation should be given at first contact to improve iron reserve and hematological parameters for optimum and safe surgery.

구순열 및 구개열은 두개 악안면 부위에서 가장 자주 발생되는 선천성 기형으로 적절한 의료진의 확보와 의료 정책의 수립을 위해서 정착한 환자 수를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 기존의 국내 발생률 추정 연구는 표본선정의 문제점과 이 질환이 갖는 높은 유산율과 사산율 및 다양한 형태로 인한 분류의 어려움과 한국 내에서의 특수성 중 하나인 장애아들의 해외 입양으로 인해 정확한 환자 수의 파악이 어려웠다. 따라서, 한국인에서의 체계적인 유병률 연구가 필요하리라 사료되며, 대부분의 구순열 및 구개열 환자에서 필요한 교정 치료의 수혜 정도를 파악할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 성인 남자에서 구순열 및 구개열 환자에 대한 유병률과 이들에 대한 교정치료 수혜율을 조사하고자, 1998년도 병무청 징병 검사자 중 1979년도에 출생한 자만을 연구대상으로 하여 서울, 광주, 대구 부산의 성인 남자 218,322명에 대해 3단계 검사를 실시한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 1979년 생 한국 성인남자에서 구순열 및 구개열 환자의 유병률은 1000명당 0.65명이었다. 2. 전후방적 심도에 따라 1000명당 각각의 유병률은 구순열이 0.26명, 구순구개열이 0.36명,구개열이 0.03명이었다. 구순열과 구순구개열은 비슷한 정도의 유병률을 보였으나, 구개열은 이에 비해 낮은 유병률을 보였다. 3. 횡적 심도에 따라 1000명당 각각의 유병률은 좌측 파열이 0.35명, 우측 파열이 0.16명, 양측 파열이 0.12명이었다. 좌측 파열은 우측 파열에 비해 매우 뚜렷하게 높은 유병률을 보였으며, 양측 파열은 편측 파열에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 4. 구순열 및 구개열 환자 중 성인남자에서의 한국 내 교정치료 수혜율은 $35\%$였으며, 구순열, 구개열, 구순구개열의 순으로 $28\%,\;29\%\;67\%$였다. 구순열이나 구개열과 같이 단독 발생된 경우보다 파열의 심도가 심한 구순구개열의 경우에서 교정치료 수혜율이 높게 나타났다.

Oblique facial cleft is extremely rare. The frequency was reported 1/1300 cases of facial cleft. The cleft appears to be bilateral in approximately 20% and more often on the right when unilateral. Oblique facial cleft is nearly always associated with cleft lip and palate. Thus, the case that is unilateral on the left and not associated with cleft lip or palate is very rare. We experienced a case of 2 years 6 months old Philippine girl who had oblique facial cleft that is not associated with cleft lip or palate. The probable cause and treatment is discussed with a review of literatures.
