OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the orthopedic effect of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) devices on the palatal deformities in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCCLP) patients. METHODS: Three groups with 19 patients each were studied. All samples in groups A and B were non-syndromic UCCLP children. Group A was treated with PNAM prior to operation. Group B was untreated prior to operation. Samples in group C were normally developed nose and lip palate infants aged three months. The orthotopic palate photos before and after PNAM treatment for group A, as well as pre-operative photos of groups B and group C, were taken and measured. All statistics were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. RESULTS: PNAM treatment significantly increased the AW, AC, and PA of UCCLP patients (P0.05). CONCLUSION: PNAM treatment is a non-surgical early treatment for the effective improvement of palatal primary deformities in UCCLP patients. |
