Overall, 104 (6.7%) of the patients developed PF, all of which were identified within the first month following DOZ. The incidence of PF for clefts of Veau class 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 0%, 6.5%, 4.4%, and 20.3%, respectively. The PFs were pinpoint-shaped in 38.5% of cases, slit-shaped in 40.4% (2-8 mm), and other (10-96 mm<sup>2</sup>) in 21.1% . Among patients with PF, 14 (13.5%) chose surgical repair; recurrence was observed in four patients, of whom two showed secondary healing. Among the 90 unrepaired cases, 68 (75.6%) showed symptom resolution, mostly within 1-3 years. Recovery varied by PF size category: 81.1% of pinpoint, 71.4% of slit-shaped, and 100% of other fistulas healed spontaneously over a median 9, 3, and 21.5 months, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified cleft width as the most significant predictor of PF development (odds ratio 1.25, P < 0.001), while the Veau classification was not a significant determinant. This study identified cleft width as a critical determinant of the risk of PF following DOZ. A conservative strategy that prioritizes symptomatology over PF size (for PFs <1 cm<sup>2</sup>) is worthy of consideration.</p>","PeriodicalId":94053,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142484195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-one patients who underwent LFI using SuperFIXSORB-MX were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into four malocclusion types: open bite, mandibular retrognathia, mandibular protrusion, and facial asymmetry. Seven maxillary reference points were measured three-dimensionally using computed tomography scans obtained preoperatively (T0), 4 days post-surgery (T1), and 1 year post-surgery (T2). Surgical changes (T1-T0) and the postoperative discrepancy (T2-T1) of the maxilla were analysed to evaluate postoperative stability by surface superimposition of the virtual LFI segments.

Three-dimensional virtual planning allows different treatment options to be explored and final decisions to be made together with the orthodontist. This study presents a treatment protocol for predictable and stable widening of the maxillary transverse width over the long term, involving premolar extraction and rounding and shortening of the upper dental arch by advancing the molar segments. The stability of inter-canine, inter-premolar, and inter-molar distances, as well as overjet and overbite, were measured in 16 patients treated with this technique; measurements were obtained pre- and post-surgery, and the mean follow-up was 43 months.
