Cephalometric Analysis of Hard and Soft Tissue Changes Following Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy Distraction in Cleft Maxillary Hypoplasia.

Background: Nonsyndromic unilateral CLAP patients despite the best surgical efforts present with variable degree of maxillary hypoplasia after cleft palate repair. AMOD is an extension of anterior maxillary osteotomy where the resulting segment anterior to the chosen site of vertical corticotomy cut is distracted with the help of hyrax screw through a tooth-borne appliance.

Aims And Objectives: To analyze the hard and soft tissue profile changes following AMOD.
