L5 Flashcards
vestibule develops
after facial structure formed
must consider alveolar cleft if cleft lip present
Palate fuses
at 10-12 weeks utero
Failure of fusion between
mean nasal process and maxillary process
dental lamina
lies along alveolar ridge often involved
can rotate into cleft–>supernumerary teeth impaction lack of or no tooth development
isolated cleft palate
female no race
Cleft lip +/- cleft palate
male left side asian
Rule of Tens
10 weeks old, 10 lbs, Hb>10 WBC<10
difficult spot to close
premaxilla palatal junction
common residual fistula
mixed dentition grafting
most common allows grating in connection with tooth eruption produces best bone form
if lateral present graft early
if lateral absent delay until later
palatal expander
want thin layer of bone over canine and central
Should do this before canine is starting to uproot and before rotating the central
Close nasal side of cleft make pocket for bone close across
Alveolar bone graft indications
produce continue arch for stability
improve osseous support of teeth adjacent to celft
allow bone for maxillary cuspid to erupt into
support ala of nose
close oronasal fistula
