Effect of Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Infants
Cleft lip and palate, the most common craniofacial anomalies, are severe congenital defects that have an incidence of 0.28 to 3.74 per 1000 live births. Although there has been great improvement in the field of cleft surgery, surgical approach cannot be the single solution to resolve the various problems encountered in patients with cleft lip and palate.

متن کاملA modified presurgical orthopedic (nasoalveolar molding) device in the treatment of unilateral cleft lip and palate
Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) can be done effectively to reshape the nasal cartilage and mold the maxillary dentoalveolar arch before surgical cleft lip repair and primary rhinoplasty. Presurgical NAM helps as an adjunct procedure to enhance the esthetic and functional outcome of the surgical procedures. We have developed a modified NAM device to suit to the needs of the patients coming from dista...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) therapy on nasal and alveolar tissues in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with a mean age of 23 days, having complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, were included in this prospective study. After the impressions were taken of the...
متن کاملNasoalveolar molding in complete cleft lip nasal deformity patients.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare nostril height, width, collumelar length, interalar distance and nostril symetry between unilateral complete cleft lip/palate patients undergoing nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and incomplete cleft lip patients/palate with no need of presurgical moulding before and after cheiloplasty with primary nasal correction. Our study group included 18 patients...
