BONE FORMATION IN UNILATERAL CLEFT LIP AND PALATE PATIENTS AFTER EARLY SECONDARY GINGIVOALVEOLOPLASTY AND BONE GRAFT: LONG-TERM STUDY.

Background: The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis, utilizing CT scans, of ossification patterns in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients who underwent early secondary gingivoalveoloplasty (esGAP) versus those who underwent traditional alveolar bone grafting harvested from the iliac crest (IC).

Methods: 22 CT scans of patients consecutively treated with esGAP were compared with those of 21 patients treated with bone grafting from iliac crest (IC). Inclusion criteria were non syndromic UCLP patients in permanent dentition.

Segmental maxillary osteotomy in cleft lip and palate patients: a stepwise planning in the orthodontic pre-surgical preparation with Invisalign.

Aim: To show the potential of Invisalign in multi-segmental Le Fort I preparation with the aid of an occlusogram-like method.

Methods: Nine patients treated with Invisalign before segmental osteotomy of the maxilla (study sample) were matched for diagnosis, surgical procedure, and complexity of orthodontic preparation with nine patients treated with fixed appliances (control sample). A superimposition technique was adapted to complement the Invisalign software to carry out an appropriate ClinCheck in segmental pre-surgical treatments.

The Use of Clear Aligners in Multi-Segmental Maxillary Surgery: A Case-Control Study in Cleft Lip and Palate and Skeletal Class III Patients.

: Maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular asymmetry may be corrected with orthognathic surgery after growth completion. For most stable results, some cases may require segmental Le Fort I osteotomies. Unfortunately, Invisalign's software (6.

Patients' testimonies, feelings, complaints and emotional experiences with dermatoses on open social media: The French infodemiologic patient's free speech study.

Background: Dermatoses represent a significant burden. Patients and their caregivers can turn to social media and digital communities to exchange with each other. These public exchanges constitute real-life data that can be analysed to better understand the patients' feelings and expectations, and the daily difficulties encountered.

Prospective study of nasal growth in bilateral cleft lip and palate patients after naso-alveolar moulding and primary columella lengthening compared to controls at 5, 10 and 20 years.

Introduction: A short columella, wide nostrils and a flat nasal tip are common features in patients with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCLP). The objective of this study was to evaluate nasal morphology during growth in patients treated with naso-alveolar moulding (NAM) and primary surgical columella lengthening (PCL) compared with matched non-cleft individuals.

Study Design: Prospective longitudinal case-control study.
