The ultimate goal of cleft palate repair is to achieve an intact palate with the separation of the oral and nasal cavities. However, some patients develop an oronasal fistula in the secondary palate after palatoplasty. Postoperatively, a secondary palatal oronasal fistula may develop, leading to functional problems. In this study, we describe a patient with recurrent oronasal fistula and alveolar cleft with multiple failed previous reconstructions at another clinic. The oronasal fistula and alveolar cleft were repaired using a tongue flap and an iliac bone graft, respectively. The patient demonstrated excellent clinical progress with no recurrence of the oronasal fistula at the 1-year follow-up.

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.

전방 기저 설피판은 비교적 큰 구개 결손을 폐쇄하는데 안전하고 효과적이었으며 후에 장골 이식을 위한 건전한 피복을 제공하였다. 그리고 치조열 결손의 순측면까지 완전히 피복하기 위한 목적으로 양측성 치조열에 적용되도록 재단된 Y-형의 변형은 결과가 믿을 만하였으며 합병증도 무시할 만 하였다.

본 저자들은 2명의 편측성 치조, 구개 파열 환자에서 장골능에서 얻은 골수 망상골로 late secondary bone graft를 시행하여 심미적 기능적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 1. 한 증례에서는 골지지가 거의 없는 우측 상악 중절치를 발거하고 술전 교정치료로 변위된 치아의 배열과 소실된 공간을 회복한 후 골 이식을 시행하였고 다른 증례에서는 술전 교정치료 없이 보철물 제거후 골 이식을 시행 하였다. 2. 파열 변연부위에 골점막 절개를 한후 순측, 구개측 및 비점막을 거상 봉합하여 구비강 누공을 폐쇄한후 장골능에서 얻은 골수 망상골을 이식하였다. 3. 수술후 구비강 누공의 폐쇄로 비음이 개선되었고, 술후 6개월뒤 방사선 사진상 파열 부위의 골 재생을 확인후 결손 치아를 보철치료하였다.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of pyogenic granuloma (PG) in the hard palate deviating from its typical gingival location that led to the formation of an alveolar cleft. The aggressive growth pattern of the lesion, with atypical progression from a pedunculated nodule to an alveolar cleft, raised concern. The diagnosis was based on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings, which revealed a tadpole-shaped lesion originating from the midline hard palate. The differential diagnosis included a minor salivary gland tumor. Surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia and resulted in a mucosal defect without nasolabial fistula formation or bone exposure. The palatal defect was packed with oxidized regenerated cellulose and closed with Vicryl Rapide sutures, both of which contributed to the patient's successful outcomes. Our comprehensive approach, extending across the stages of surgical planning, execution, and postoperative care, demonstrated the advantages of a multidisciplinary strategy for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of palatal PGs. This report makes a meaningful contribution to the existing literature on common oral lesions by emphasizing the importance of a broad differential diagnosis and a systematic approach to oral pathologies. It also raises clinical awareness of PGs with atypical presentations and the diagnostic challenge that they pose.

In alveolar deformity of cleft patient, the flap design is very important to make the functional and esthetic outcome. Especially in bilateral cleft alveolus with wide defect, deficiency of covering tissue is a greatest problem. Wound dehiscence may develop oronasal fistula of palatal and labial region and loss of the bone graft. We report 2 cases with bilateral cleft alveolus. In both case, bilateral buccal mucosal flap was used for closure of bilateral cleft alveolus with wide defect. The one was operated with iliac bone graft according to secondary grafting method, the other was closed without bone grafting. The patient was 3 years old. So, secondary alveolar bone graft will be required some years later for the establishment of bony continuity and esthetic advantage. In both cases, we found the entire soft tissue closure without the lack of covering flap. In these case, the closure of alveolus defect was accomplished successfully by the use of bilateral buccal mucosal flap. There was no complication, secondary fistula. The most important thing is the tension-free closure of the bilateral buccal mucosal flap. So, we report these cases with literatures.

유아기에 구순성형술 및 구개성형술 등에 의한 중 안면부의 성장장애를 동반한 성인환자에서 만기 이차성 골이식술(Late secondary bone graft)을 동반한 Le Fort I osteotomy를 시행한 결과 기능적, 심미적으로 양호한 개선 효과를 얻었다. 1. 증례에서는 골지지가 거의 없는 우측 상악 중절치 및 측절치 부위의 치아를 발거하고, 술전 교정치료로 변위된 치아의 배열과 소실된 공간을 회복한 후 장골이식을 동반한 상악골 전진술을 시행하였다. 2. 파열 변연부위에 골점막 절개를 시행한 후 순측 구개측 봉합 및 비점막을 거상하여 구비강 누공을 폐쇄한 후 장골능에서 얻은 골수-망상골을 이식하였다. 3. 수술후 구비강 폐쇄로 비음이 개선되었고, 술후 8개월된 방사선 사진상 파열부위의 골 재생을 확인한 후 보철치료를 시행하였다. 4. 표준 두부방사선 계측상 상악골의 전진에 의한 측모의 현저한 개선을 관찰할 수 있었다.
