The long-term changes of hard palatal bony cleft defects after palatoplasty in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThere have been few long-term studies regarding the change of bony cleft defects in cleft lip and palate after palatoplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the regenerated bone formed in bony cleft defects and the change in bony cleft width after palatoplasty using computed tomography (CT). Thirty non-syndromic unilateral complete cleft lip and palate patients were retrospectively reviewed. The patients underwent palatoplasty at an average age of 14.32 months. CT was performed at an average age of 9.8 years. The authors evaluated the regenerated bone volume ratio, remnant bony cleft area ratio and change in bony cleft width at the posterior nasal spine. The relative locations of the regenerated bone lesion and the bony cleft to the hard palate were measured. Regenerated bone was observed in all patients. The average regenerated bone volume ratio was 61.1%, and the largest regenerated bone was usually located in the anterior half of the hard palate. The average remnant bony cleft area ratio was 7.6%, and the widest bony cleft was usually located in the anterior 1/3 and the posterior 1/3. The remnant bony cleft and non-regenerated bone lesion were rarely located in the middle 1/3. The bony cleft width at the posterior nasal spine decreased significantly after palatoplasty. Hard palatal bony cleft defects after palatoplasty were decreased by regenerated bone, and possibly by the contracting force of the scar at the midline of the hard palate, and the continuous pressure of the surrounding tissues.
