The effects of cleft palate with alveolar cleft deformity include facial appearance defects, orofacial fistula, and misalignment of teeth,
The repair of cleft alveolar implants is an important part of the cleft palate treatment sequence, which has obvious therapeutic significance and effect, and should be emphasized and promoted as a routine procedure for cleft palate treatment. Timing and indications of surgery: At present, it is considered that 8-11 years old is the ideal age for cleft palate implant surgery, when the cuspids are growing and erupting,
At this time, the surgery can not only restore the integrity of the dental arch, correct the collapsed deformity of the nasal floor, repair the oronasal fistula, but also lay the foundation for the formation of a complete dental row and normal eruption of the cuspids. The best time to choose is when the x-ray shows that the cusp of the cusp is formed 1/3 to 2/3, so that the cusp can be erupted from the bone grafting area within six months after the operation, and the effect of neat alignment of teeth can be obtained if supplemented with orthodontic treatment. Bone grafting at this time is mainly to lay the foundation for orthodontic treatment of maxillary underdevelopment and to prepare for future orthognathic surgery or distraction bone surgery,
At the same time, the nasal floor collapse was corrected and the oronasal fistula was repaired. At this time, although the opportunity for teeth to erupt in the bone grafting area has been lost, it is still possible to use orthodontic treatment to move the misaligned teeth to the bone grafting area to obtain a more complete dental alignment.
