Abstract (AI)
DESIGN AND OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to present our philosophy in managing the prominent premaxilla in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Indications, contraindications, and the pre- and postoperative orthodontic role are defined. SETTING: Tertiary care, cleft palate and craniofacial center-academic institution. PATIENTS: Under review were four cases of bilateral cleft lip and palate presenting with prominent premaxilla and operated on by a single surgeon between 1996 and 2004. CONCLUSION: With appropriate patient selection, bilateral alveolar bone grafting with premaxillary repositioning is a safe procedure and can produce good aesthetic and functional results.
Key Findings
1
Bilateral alveolar bone grafting combined with premaxillary repositioning is safe with appropriate patient selection.
2
Four cases (1996–2004) with prominent premaxilla were reviewed and operated on by a single surgeon at a tertiary cleft/craniofacial center.
3
The procedure can produce good aesthetic and functional results when patients are appropriately selected.
4
The study presents a defined philosophy for managing prominent premaxilla in bilateral cleft lip and palate, including indications, contraindications, and orthodontic roles.
