Nasoalveolar molding: benefits and burdens

Presurgical nasoalveolar molding: A technical note with case report

Cleft of the lip, alveolus and palate (CLAP), is a complex facial deformity, which requires multiple surgeries and bone grafting to correct the defect. Active or passive Pre surgical Orthopedic Molding reduces the deformity and thus reduces number of surgeries to achieve superior post surgical esthetic. Pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is passive molding which align and approximate the ...

Abstract: Quantitative Evaluation of Nasolabial Aesthetics Following Nasoalveolar Molding Therapy

Suday, O cber 8, 2017 Harvesting bone may result in donor site morbidity, additional operating time and length of hospitalization. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 with a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) was used as an alternative bone source for alveolar cleft reconstruction. We investigate the outcomes of rhBMP-2/DBM versus ICBG for alveolar cleft reconstruction by review...

Rehabilitation of cleft with nasoalveolar molding- A case report

Facial cleft is the second most common congenital deformity. Problems of cleft can be related to esthetic, phonetics, functional insufficiency, emotional, psychological and social. Significant abnormality in nasal cartilage morphology and asymmetry of alar base and columella are associated with cleft lip and alveolar deformity. Pre Nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is a nonsurgical method of reshapin...

Family caregiving: benefits and burdens.

Nasoalveolar 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...
