Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Treatment philosophies in the management of alveolar clefts have changed greatly over the years. Currently. the most widely accepted protocol is for repair using autologous cancellous bone from the iliac crest during the stage of mixed dentition. Preliminary data suggest that the appropriate age for surgical repair during the secondary phase can be decreased without evidence of limitation of facial growth. Further long-term studies are necessary to support this protocol, however. With a multidisciplinary approach between the various medical and dental specialties, it is now commonplace to achieve normal dentofacial aesthetics and function. The continued advances in medical and dental technology have further contributed to the excellent outcomes that are now achieved. |
