Abstract

Cleft of the lip, alveolus, and palate is a complex congenital anomaly of the maxillofacial region, treatment of which requires a team approach and involves numerous procedures at different stages. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) reduces the cleft deformity as well as improves the columella-philtrum region and nose contour. This helps the surgeon achieve better postoperative results with minimal tension and a finer scar. This clinical case series showcases five cases of unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLAP) treated with Grayson's technique of PNAM before primary surgical lip repair. Model analysis showed a substantial amount of reduction of cleft deformity in all five cases, which helped in achieving superior postoperative results.

术前鼻牙槽成型治疗单侧唇裂、牙槽及腭裂的早期治疗：附5例报告。

唇腭裂是一种复杂的颌面先天性畸形，其治疗需要团队合作，涉及不同阶段的多种手术。手术前鼻牙槽成形（PNAM）可减少唇裂畸形，改善鼻中小柱区域和鼻轮廓。这有助于外科医生以最小的张力和更细的疤痕获得更好的术后效果。本文介绍了5例单侧唇腭裂（CLAP）在初次唇部修复手术前应用格雷森技术治疗的临床病例。模型分析显示，所有5例腭裂畸形均有显著减少，有助于获得良好的术后效果。如何引用本文：Shakti P， Kumar S, Haider K，等。术前鼻牙槽成型治疗单侧唇裂、牙槽及腭裂的早期治疗：附5例报告。中华临床儿科杂志，2016;19(5):662-666。
