  • The aim of this review was to assess the magnitude of dimensional change of both the hard and soft tissues of the alveolar ridges after tooth extraction. (nationalelfservice.net)
  • It involves the production of multiple transmucosal perforations within alveolar bone, sited in close proximity to the region of desired tooth movement and in specific configurations, depending on the tooth movement required. (allenpress.com)
  • Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) has shown conflicting and heterogeneous results in the treatment of UCCLP patients , raising questions about whether the diversity in alveolar anatomical morphology among these patients plays a role in the effectiveness of PNAM treatment . (bvsalud.org)
  • Furthermore, the blinded clinical evaluation indicated that UCCLP patients with alveolar segments of horizontal form had the lowest treatment outcomes. (bvsalud.org)
  • Overall, 5% of patients with cleft lip and palate and isolated cleft palate have identifiable syndromes. (medscape.com)

  • There are reports of high frequency of chronic sinusitis in patients with cleft lip and palate, especially children, that may be related to hypoplasia of the maxilla and lower volume of the maxillary sinus related to the cleft. (bvsalud.org)
  • We also conducted clinical evaluations to assess the association between the alveolar morphology and CLP treatment outcomes. (bvsalud.org)
  • Overall, our findings establish a novel quantitative classification system for the morphology of alveolar bone in infants with UCCLP and suggest that this classification may be associated with the outcomes of CLP treatment . (bvsalud.org)
  • This procedure involves taking bone from another part of the body, such as the hip, and using it to fill in the gap in the upper jaw created by the cleft. (kigodental.com)
  • In the 1930s, American surgeon Samuel Noordhoff introduced a technique called the "pushback procedure," which involved making incisions in the tissues around the cleft and pulling them together to close the gap. (akruti.co.in)
  • In the 1950s and 60s, a new technique called the "von Langenbeck procedure" was developed, which involved making incisions in the tissues on either side of the cleft and sliding them together to create a complete palate. (akruti.co.in)
