Objective: This study aimed to determine if the change in technique of soft palate closure or timing of hard palatal repair induced occlusal changes in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP).
Design: Retrospective study.
Settings: A medical and dental hospital in Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A new device was created to measure oral and throat pressure simultaneously during speech production, allowing placement in different areas of the mouth and throat.
- In a study with seven healthy individuals, various speech samples were analyzed using transducers installed in specific locations to monitor changes in baropressure.
- Results showed that while mean pressure remained stable during a single vowel, it increased with different speech sounds depending on where they were articulated, highlighting the device's potential to provide detailed insights into speech production mechanics.
The effects on craniofacial growth of two different soft palate repair techniques in two-stage palatoplasty were investigated. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study of 68 children with non-syndromic, complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Thirty-four patients were treated with the modified Furlow method (F-group) and the remaining 34 with the Widmaier-Perko method (P-group).

Materials And Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on the facial surfaces of 6 intact teeth of a monkey, and restored with Unifil Bond/Unifil F and Fuji Bond LC/Clearfil AP-X. One year later, 10 other teeth were restored with the same materials and the monkey was sacrificed after 24 hours.
