OBJECTIVE

To analyze and summarize the published materials on the assessment of stability of maxillary hypoplasia treatment using the distraction method in patients with CLP.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A search for publications on the selected study topic in the MEDLINE and PubMed electronic databases was performed. The search was done by the following keywords: «cleft lip and palate», «maxillary hypoplasia», «distraction osteogenesis», «stability», «relapse», «RED», «intraoral distraction device» in Russian and English.

RESULTS

The study included 13 publications, and most of them showed stable results of treatment using the distraction method. The relapse rate was lower in the distraction osteogenesis group than in the traditional orthognathic surgery group after 5-year follow-up. Long-term stability of maxillary advancement after orthognathic surgery was higher in studies on the application of internal distractors than in the use of RED device.

CONCLUSION

Maxillary advancement in patients with CLP using distraction method is a stable treatment method.

Keywords:

cleft lip and palate

maxillary hypoplasia
