Brief Summary

The tooth-borne palatal expander has limitations in the subset of patients with scarred, constricted cleft palate. At times, although posterior expansion is successful, transverse expansion of the anterior palate (near the alveolar cleft) is inadequate. Will the application of bone borne palatal expander combined with a corticotomy be more effective in the expansion of the constricted maxilla in cleft palate patients?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adequate maxillary expansion

    Dental casts before treatment \& immediately after completion of expansion to determine transverse changes in maxillary arch width measured in millimeter at the following sites: Intermolar width Intercanine width Interarch width 6 CBCT before operation \& immediately after completion of consolidation period (10 weeks). Distances measured on the coronal images in millimeters before treatment \& after the end of the consolidation period: NFW4 \& NFW6: Nasal floor width at the area of first premolars \& first molars, 5mm above the most inferior part of nasal floor PBW4 \& PBW6 : Palatal bone width at the level of a line connecting palatal root apex of first premolars \& first molars IRD4: distance between palatal root apex of right \& left first premolars IRD6: distance between palatal root apex of right \& left first molars

    10-12 weeks post operatively

Interventions

Application of bone-borne palatal expander in conjunction with maxillary osteotomy for expansion of constricted maxillae
