Abstract
When we started anterior maxillary distraction for cleft lip and palate patient, there was no long term data available in the literature regarding the stability of this procedure. Hence, we decided to do the study and observe our results over several months and then analyze the results. Surgeries were performed by the author and his team of assistant surgeons under general anesthesia. Patients were from Ragas Dental College and Hospital and from Rajan Dental Institute. The analysis of the skeletal and dental land marks were done by orthodontist independently. Speech was assisted pre-operative and 3 months post operative by a qualified speech pathologist. Histology of the distracted cleft maxillary tissue, both soft and hard tissue, was analyzed under H & E sections. This was done by Oral and Maxillo-facial pathologists. The possibility of distracting fibrous scar tissue of the palate and alveolus was assessed.
