Alveolar-anterior Maxillary Cleft RepairEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The standard of care in patients who have a complete cleft is to perform secondary bone grafting of the absent bone in the alveolus and anterior maxilla with autogenous cancellous bone somewhere between 6 and 9 years of age. Although other treatment regimens have been suggested, no regimen has proved to be equal, and certainly not superior, to this regimen. The exact timing of secondary bone reconstruction has been a source of contention for years, and there is currently good evidence that secondary bone reconstruction is best done somewhere between 6 and 9 years of age. This does not negate later secondary reconstruction;...

Primary Palatoplasty: Double-Opposing Z-Plasty (Furlow Technique)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The Furlow double-opposing palatoplasty (FDOP) was first introduced by Leonard Furlow in 1978 and published formally in 1986 by the Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania cleft unit . It has gained acceptance by many surgeons as the preferred technique for cleft palate repair. Although conceptually and procedurally a challenge, the FDOP has the distinct advantage of lengthening the soft palate and restoring normal velar anatomy and function. Since its introduction, the FDOP has undergone several modifications, much like other named cleft lip and palate techniques.

Primary Palatoplasty Using Bipedicle Flaps (Modified Von Langenbeck Technique)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cleft lip and palate is considered to be the most common facial birth defect worldwide. Attempts to repair these deformities date back to the sixteenth century. In 1552, Jacques Houllier proposed that the cleft edges be sutured together, but his operation was unsuccessful. Nearly 200 years later, LeMonnier, a French dentist, successfully completed the repair of a cleft velum. It was not until 1816, however, that the first successful closure of a cleft palate was performed by Carl Ferdinand von Graefe in Germany. An interesting approach was attempted in 1826 by Johan Fredrick Dieffenbach, closing the hard palate and the sof...

Primary Bilateral Cleft Lip/Nose Repair Using the “Delaire” TechniqueEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Once differentiation of the cells forming the future face has been initiated by one or more epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, other factors regulate subsequent development and growth of the maxillofacial complex. Individual elements or regions do not develop and grow at the same rate; there is a well-known phenomenon of relative growth. Such regional differences imply that development and growth are not regulated globally. (Source: Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America)

Primary Unilateral Cleft Lip/Nose Repair Using the “Delaire” TechniqueEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
With the exception of those special cases of clefts associated with holoprosencephaly, wherein there exists true tissue hypoplasia, the anomalies observed in labiomaxillary clefts result essentially from displacement, deformation, and functional hypotrophy of the dentoskeletal elements and the covering soft tissues. This is particularly true with the maxillary bony segments, the dentoalveolar elements that they support, and the nasal cartilages. It is also true for the nasolabial muscles, which are all present on the cleft side but whose absence of normal insertions and the resultant dysfunctions are directly responsible f...

Primary Bilateral Cleft Lip/Nose Repair Using a Modified Millard TechniqueEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The complexity of a bilateral cleft lip repair must be well understood by any surgeon performing this procedure. Multiple factors play a role in the difficulty that one must overcome to correct the obvious facial deformity. These include a widely displaced lateral lip segment, lack of developed lip tissue in the anterior segment, and a displaced premaxillary segment. All three need to be taken into consideration to obtain an optimal result. (Source: Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America)

Unilateral Cleft Lip and Nasal Repair: The Rotation–Advancement Flap TechniqueEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes the overall reconstructive approach for repair of the unilateral cleft lip and nose deformity using the rotation-advancement repair technique modified from the original description by Millard, still the most common version of unilateral cleft lip and nose repair in the world. Several other techniques exist and are used in various forms by most surgeons. To date, no technique has definitively been proven to produce the best results.

PrefaceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cleft lip and palate are congenital deformities, which, because of their frequency and localization to the orofacial region, are of great significance to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Although confined to a fairly small anatomic region, the typical cleft deformity requires significant specialized care by many disciplines. Nearly 15 years ago, the American Cleft Palate – Craniofacial Association (ACPCA) proposed parameters of care designed to help standardize the management of cleft patients. The goals of these cleft teams are to carry out periodic assessments and make suggestions regarding timing and sequencing of ...

Complications of Mandibular FracturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Before any definitive treatment of mandibular fractures, the patient needs to be evaluated for more potentially life-threatening injuries. Complications can and do occur with treatment of mandibular fractures and can occur during any of the phases of treatment. The development of an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan is vital in achieving optimal success and decreasing complications. Knowledge of the anatomy and the principles of bone healing is also an important factor in preventing complications. To limit long-term untoward effects, complications should be recognized early and the appropriate treatment sho...

Endoscopically Assisted Management of Mandibular Condylar FracturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Endoscopic-assisted open reduction/internal fixation of mandibular condylar fractures is a viable alternative to traditional closed or open reduction techniques. However, case selection is important. Ideally, the fracture undergoing EAORIF should be easily manipulated into reduction and have enough stable bone on either side of the fracture to support a bone plate. It is important to note that in all reprinted studies, authors note a steep “learning curve” with the EAORIF technique. Identical procedures took the novice surgeon two to three times as long when compared with an experienced surgeon. EAORIF is a technique t...

External Fixation for Mandible FracturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
External fixation of mandible fractures is a useful technique when an open treatment is contraindicated because of extensive comminution, bone or soft tissue loss, and infection. This technique can also be used temporarily until definitive treatment is delivered. A uniphasic or biphasic system can be placed to reduce and stabilize mandibular fractures. These systems use surgically placed threaded pins and different types of connectors that can be manipulated to optimize the reduction of fractures. External fixation remains a quick, safe, and simple method to treat mandible fractures in selected clinical situations, and it ...

Bicortical Extraoral Plating of Mandibular FracturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The goal of bicortical fixation of mandibular fractures is to provide for undisturbed healing and immobility of fragments to facilitate primary bony union. This type of fixation should provide sufficient rigidity for fracture segments to resist any movement along the fracture line during normal function of the mandible. The decision of which technique to use for fixation of a particular mandible fracture depends on multiple factors, such as fracture location, favorability of fracture vectors, anatomic location of fractures, systemic health of the patient, timing of surgery, experience of the surgeon, age of the patient, an...

PrefaceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Mandibular fractures are one of the most frequent traumatic injuries treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. These fractures result from a multitude of causes, including sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and interpersonal violence. Training in the management of mandibular fractures includes various techniques, depending on the surgeon's specialty and training, location, and geographical preferences. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have a unique perspective in the treatment of these injuries due to their dental training and intimate knowledge of the occlusion and stomatognathic system.
