AI Article Synopsis

  • - The report discusses a female patient with a right-side transverse facial cleft who has undergone interdisciplinary treatment from birth, involving dental casts and detailed imaging to track her facial and dental development.
  • - During her growth, significant skeletal deviations of the maxilla and mandible were noted, especially with the mandible shifting to a more posterior position, and worsening malocclusion was observed, even though changes weren't obvious in external photographs.
  • - Despite surgeries and orthodontic treatment, including distraction osteogenesis, her overall craniofacial morphology showed limited improvement by the end of her growth period.

Article Abstract

This report presents the case of a female patient bearing a right-side transverse facial cleft. She has received interdisciplinary treatment since birth. At regular intervals, dental casts were made, and profile and full-face photographs, lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms were taken during the course of orthodontic treatment and maxillofacial surgery. We evaluated her diagnostic records with the intent of documenting the effects of growth and therapy on the skeletal structures of the facial cranium and on occlusion, and to show the influence on facial esthetics. Her facial morphology and occlusion were manifest at birth and in the primary dentition. The maxilla and mandible deviated from the midsagittal plane toward the cleft side, with the mandible considerably more affected, revealing a markedly posterior position. The lateral skeletal deviation of both jaws increased slightly during growth, yet the midline deviation of the dental arches and malocclusion clearly worsened. The increasing deviation was not obvious in full-face photographs. Especially in the primary and mixed dentition, the mandible shifted to the anterior, which was visible in both the lateral cephalograms and profile photographs. On the whole, however, no noteworthy alteration in the character of the craniofacial morphology occurred by the time growth was complete, despite functional jaw-orthopedic and maxillofacial surgical treatment consisting of two distraction osteogenesis procedures.
