Maxillary distraction osteogenesis is an alternative treatment of cleft patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia. The aim of this paper is to present the combined surgical/orthodontic treatment of a cleft lip and palate patient and to evaluate the maxillary distraction procedure and the distraction vector in high Le Fort I osteotomy.

Objective: To assess craniofacial and upper airway growth in infants with Robin sequence (RS) during the 1 year of life when their severe upper airway obstruction was treated non-surgically with the Stanford orthodontic airway plate treatment program (SOAP).
Design: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study comparing SOAP-treated infants with RS (treatment group) with age-matched healthy controls (HC) using computed tomography (CT).
Setting: Single tertiary referral hospital.

Background: Gagging is a stimulated, protective reflex to prevent any material from entering the mouth or oropharynx. However, a hyperactive gag reflex is a common occurrence and anxiety-provoking stimulus while performing routine clinical procedures. Impression making is a clinical procedure that causes pronounced gagging and severe discomfort to the patient.

This study presents a novel approach for maxillary advancement in a patient with cleft lip and palate, utilizing the assembly of a custom titanium implant and a ready-made distractor. The patient exhibited significant maxillary hypoplasia and had concerns regarding the possible deterioration of hypernasality after conventional surgical methods. Distraction osteogenesis was initiated to address these challenges.

Background: Microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has been widely used to correct maxillary transverse deficiency. To gain valuable insights into the biological processes and mechanisms involved in palatal suture expansion and develop approaches to reduce relapse rates, researchers have turned to animal models. However, no small-animal models are currently available for MARPE.

Article Synopsis
- Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a common birth defect that leads to oral function issues and aesthetics concerns, prompting the investigation of maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis (MASDO) as a corrective treatment.
- A meta-analysis of 10 studies revealed that MASDO significantly increased maxillary length and improved facial aesthetics, with notable changes in cephalometric measurements.
- Despite some studies having varying levels of bias, the overall findings support MASDO as a promising therapy for enhancing maxillary structure and function in CLP patients.
