  • Sagittal maxillary growth in children with unilateral cleft of the lip, alveolus and palate at the age of 10 years : an intercentre comparison
    Zemann, Wolfgang ...
    Objective: Aim of this intercentre study was to compare sagittal facial growthin children with unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with different surgical protocols. A first evaluation had been ... carried out at the age of 6 years, now the patients have been re-evaluated at the age of 10 years. Material and method: 22 patients had been analyzed in centre 1, 32 patients incentre 2. All patients had presurgical orthopaedics. Centre 1 had lip repairat the age of 3 months and one-stage palatal closure with 1 year. Centre2 had lip repair with 6 months, soft palate repair at 12 and hard palaterepair at the age of 30 months. Sagittal growth was evaluated on lateralcephalograms. As control, data of 35 non-cleft children were used. Statistical analysis was carried out with student's t-test, multiple comparisons with Bonferroni. Results: There was considerably normal sagittal facial growth in centre 1, with tendency of forward growth of the mandible. Incentre 2 there was a slight decrease in sagittal maxillary and mandibular growth with unchanged intergnathic relation. There was no statistically significant difference in sagittal growth between the centres. A re-evaluationhas to be carried out after the final growth spurt.
