[Treatment of cleft lip and palate: long-term results].

Since 1958, 900 children with cleft lip and palate were operated on at the University Hospital Brugmann in Brussels. Until 1981, the children were operated at 6 months for the lip and at 18 months for the palate with two flap palatoplasties. Since 1982, R. Malek's technique and sequence were adopted. The results after 5 years follow-up are analyzed between two groups of 50 and 49 children operated with the two techniques. Growth of the maxillary arch and phonation are well improved in the second group, but no improvement was observed in terms of hearing.

Treatment of palatal fistula by expansion.

Treatment of a large anterior fistula of the hard palate remains a problem. A new approach is presented by expansion of the palatal mucosa by custom-made implants, allowing closure in two layers without tension or extensive undermining.

[Implants: where, when, how, why?].

The concept of osseointegration which means direct contact between bone and implant has provided new possibilities for implantology and a much more serious approach of the method. Implants are placed following a two phases schedule: first a surgical procedure with a sophisticated insertion of the implants and 3 to 6 months later a prosthetic procedure. Implants can be used in many applications: single tooth replacement, partial and total edentulism. Osseous grafts can be added if needed. Connected and non-connected bridges are built on implants with a tendency to use more non-connected bridges. If all the conditions of placement of the implants and of realisation of the prosthetic supra-structures are respected, there are very few complications. Implants are actually the unique possibility to give the patient fixed oral rehabilitation while preserving the remaining bone and teeth.

[Prosthetic problems after excisional surgery].

The authors present a few cases maxillary and facial reconstruction with restoration of the esthetic appearance, mastication and phonation, using the obturator muscles and prostheses made up of acrylic resin and silicone elastomers.
