Advancement of maxillary anterior segment by distraction osteogenesis for severe maxillary retrusion in cleft lip and palate

Background Maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis （MASDO） is a recently used method for correction of severe maxillary retrusion in cleft lip and palate （CLP） patients.In this article,we evaluated the feasibility of MASDO using rigid external distraction （RED） and rapid orthodontic tooth movement to correct severe maxillary retrusion in CLP patients.Methods Fourteen male and five female complete CLP patients between the ages of 18 and 22 years （mean age 19.7 years） at the time of distraction,with severe maxillary retrusion,were treated with the rigid external distraction （RED） device after maxillary anterior osteotomy.Rapid orthodontic tooth movement was started one week after the MASDO.Standard profile photographic,cephalometric films were obtained preoperatively and after therapy.Sella-nasion-point A （SNA） and Sella-nasion-point B （SNB） angles were measured to reflect changes in maxillary and mandibular position,and the distance between anterior nasal spine and posterior nasal spine （ANS-PNS） was measured to represent the maxillary dental arch length.Results The SNA angle increased from an average of 74.6° （range 73.0°-78.0°）,preoperatively,to 83.4° （range 78.6°-88.0°） after the RED was removed （P ＜0.01）.All cases of severe maxillary retrusion were improved.Nine patients＇ profiles became harmonious after therapy.One patient had a bimaxillary protrusion deformity and needed further surgery.The regenerate alveolar crest and edentulous space on both segments was almost completely eliminated after rapid orthodontic tooth movement.Conclusion MASDO with the RED system and rapid orthodontic tooth movement is a successful way of correcting severe maxillary retrusion in CLP patients.

个体化三维颌骨牵张器治疗上颌骨畸形的护理

上颌骨畸形的治疗通常采用正畸、正颌外科及骨组织移植技术,但对于某些类型患者常规方法并不能完成其治疗。例如,唇腭裂术后继发上颌发育不足,重度上颌后缩畸形,外伤致上颌骨获得性严重畸形等。我院颌面外科对此类患者采用自行研制的个体化三维颌骨牵张器进行矫治，

优化牙支持式上颌骨前部牵引成骨术与上颌骨Le FortⅠ型前徙术治疗唇腭裂患者的效果及对其腭咽部结构的影响分析

目的探讨优化牙支持式上颌骨前部牵引成骨术与上颌骨Le FortⅠ型前徙术治疗唇腭裂患者的效果,以及对其腭咽部结构的影响。方法将大连市口腔医院2017年1月一2020年1月收治的63例唇腭裂伴上颌骨发育不足患者纳人研究,依据随机数字表法分为观察组31例和对照组32例。对照组实施上颌骨Le FortⅠ型前徙术治疗,观察组实施优化牙支持式上颌骨前部牵引成骨术治疗。比较并分析两组治疗前后腭咽部形态参数、上颌骨前移距离、吹气试验和语言清晰度测听结果。采用Pearson相关性分析明确上颌骨前移距离与腭咽部形态各项参数之间的关系。结果治疗后观察组静止位的腭咽腔深度低干对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组治疗前后腭咽部形态其余各项参数及上颌骨前移距离,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗后观察组不捏鼻、捏鼻吹气试验时间均短干对照组,语言清晰度高干对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P〈O.O5)。Pearson相关性分析显示,上颌骨前移距离与各项腭咽部形态参数均无相关性(P>0.05)。结论优化牙支持式上颌骨前部牵引成骨术与上颌骨Le FortⅠ型前徙术治疗唇腭裂均有效,但是,优化牙支持式上颌骨前部牵引成骨术相较于上颌骨Le FortⅠ型前徙术,对患者腭咽部结构影响较小,值得推荐采用。
