Introduction: Reconstruction of intraoral soft tissue defects is important in restoring function and esthetic. In large defects, there will be demand for regional pedicle flaps or free flaps. Hard palate separates nasal and oral cavities. Due to the small surface area between flap and remaining palate after surgical resections, optimal blood supply of the flaps for hard palate reconstructions ...

OBJECTIVE To review recent data on the aetiology of cleft lip and palate. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE literature search (1986-2003). STUDY SELECTION Literature and data on aetiology of cleft lip and palate using the following key words: 'cleft lip', 'cleft palate', 'aetiology', and 'genetics'. DATA EXTRACTION Relevant information and data were reviewed by the authors. DATA SYNTHESIS Cleft lip ...

The surgeon and orthodontist face daily difficulties with correcting a patient's occlusion. Compressed maxilla is big obstacle to conventional orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery. Surgically Assisted Rapid Palate Expansion way optimize the treatment, based on osteogenic distraction tissue distraction, reaching more quickly necessary dimensions of palate. purpose this article make case...

OBJECTIVES. Cleft lip palate is congenital growth disease with unknown etiology, probably linked to both genetically and external causes. The aim of this work consists in presenting the effects of these diseases on cranio facial growth and the surgical protocols described in literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The literature review articles conducted by Medline ranged from 1998 to 2011 have been...

pharyngeal teratomas are rare. we present a mature solid teratoma (so called “hairypolyp”) involving naso- and oro- pharynx in a female infant who presented with a gradually enlarging mass at the roof of the mouth since birth. the pharyngeal mass was protruding into the mouth through a palatine defect present posteriorly which was removed completely. subsequently she developed malposed anterior...

BACKGROUND Long term health of the stomatognathic system as well as esthetic aspects is the therapeutic goals in patients with oro facial clefts. AIM The aim of this study was to assess and compare the periodontal status of patients with cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip, alveolus and palate (CLAP) reporting to a hospital in Chennai, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study grou...

Palate development is shaped by multiple molecular signaling pathways, including the Wnt pathway. In mice and humans, mutations in both the canonical and noncanonical arms of the Wnt pathway manifest as cleft palate, one of the most common human birth defects. Like the palate, numerous studies also link different Wnt signaling perturbations to varying degrees of limb malformation; for example, ...

Malformations in secondary palate fusion will lead to cleft palate, a common human birth defect. Palate fusion involves the formation and subsequent degeneration of the medial edge epithelial seam. The cellular mechanisms underlying seam degeneration have been a major focus in the study of palatogenesis. Three mechanisms have been proposed for seam degeneration: lateral migration of medial edge...
