A Study of Untreated Adult Cleft Palate Patients

Position, shape, and dimension of the maxilla in unoperated cleft lip and palate patients: Review of the literature

“…For example, the horizontal dimension as described by Isiekwe and Sowemimo (1984) and Capelozza et al (1993) is noted to be shorter (or retained), whereas Bishara et al (1976Bishara et al ( , 1985Bishara et al ( , 1986 and Ortiz-Monasterio et al (1966 define it as normal or good, and it is only depicted as long by Sakuda et al (1988). Just by looking at the numbers, the normal position prevails.…”

The Craniofacial Morphology in Adult Patients with Unoperated Isolated Cleft Palate

“…However, another researches showed that the facial morphology is similarly normal when compared with nonclefts (14-20). Different findings may result from the heterogeneity of the samples (18, 21), small sample size (22-23), the various range of age (18), different cleft types of samples (15,(24)(25) and factors related to the control group. Craniofacial morphology is of genetic and racial characteristic.…”

“…Iatrogenic factors are not the main reason resulted in maxillary retrusion, but intrinsic deficiencies are (3,13). However, another researches showed that the facial morphology is similarly normal when compared with nonclefts (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Different findings may result from the heterogeneity of the samples (18,21), small sample size (22)(23), the various range of age (18), different cleft types of samples (15,(24)(25) and factors related to the control group.…”

Crecimiento sagital maxilar en fisurados unilaterales operados funcionalmente

“…7 El problema entonces, debe buscarse en el tipo y oportunidad de las intervenciones quirúrgicas a las que son sometidos estos enfermos, con el propósito de rehabilitarlos.…”

“…The patients in the study group were compared with the patients in the control group, which was made up of 10 healthy children (4 female and 6 male), with a mean age of 9.7 (age range [7][8][9][10][11][12] Para evaluar el crecimiento sagital del maxilar se obtuvieron telerradiografías de perfil de todos los niños, las cuales fueron tomadas utilizando el mismo equipo para minimizar errores radiográficos. Los trazados fueron realizados en forma independiente por ambos autores en dos ocasiones diferentes siguiendo el análisis arquitectural y estructural cráneo facial propuesto por Delaire, con sus actualizaciones.…”
