Abstract

Criteria for an ideal surgical template for immediate dentures were presented. Laboratory and clinical studies were made of five types of templates. The Biostarformed template with improvements, followed by the sprinkled acrylic resin template, best fit the established criteria (Table I).

Assessment of cleft lip and palate patients treated with presurgical orthopedic correction and either primary bone grafts, gingivoperiosteoplasty, or without alveolar grafting procedures.

The effects of alveolar grafting on the development of the craniofacial complex have been reported by numerous investigators. The reported results vary in the literature from significant to very little impediment of maxillary growth. The present work evaluates and compares facial form at age six years in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients treated with presurgical orthopedic correction and primary reconstruction with (1) primary bone grafts (n = 14), (2) gingivoperiosteoplasty (n = II), or (3) without alveolar grafting procedures at the time of lip repair (n = 13). The cohort groups were analyzed with a one-way analysis of variance (ANOV A). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the three groups for only one of the 12 parameters analyzed. The primary bone grafted group demonstrated less vertical descent-of the anterior maxilla compared to the gingivoperiosteoplasty and non-grafted groups (P = .0027).

Indications on suitable scaffold as carrier of stem cells in the alveoloplasty of cleft palate.

Autologous iliac crest bone is used to close the residual alveolar bone defect in cleft palate patients during late mixed dentition. Surgery involves physical and anaesthesiologic risks, long-time hospitalization, high costs and not always good results (15% failure rate). Alternatives to iliac crest bone grafting are going to be evaluated: synthetic, xenograft and allograft matrices combined with platelet-rich plasma or recombined bone morphogenic proteins for osteoinductivity are commercially available. These alternatives have not yet been determined to be equivalent to the previous treatment. A new field of research is represented by stem cells, which have been also used to regenerate ischaemic cardiac tissue after heart attack, to treat hypophosphatasia and osteoporosis. Our aim was to use osteoblasts from stem cells to close the residual palate cleft in association with a suitable carrier. Stem cells are expanded in the Aastrom bioreactor, differentiated into osteoblasts and positioned in the bone defect by means of a Spongostan scaffold. This scaffold has the best characteristics as commercial availability, low cost, good manageability, absence of allergic reactions or other side effects on patient, biocompatibility, imbibition, radiotransparency, reabsorbability and osteoinductivity. Previous studies encourage Spongostan scaffold application.

Assessment of dental arch relationships in Japanese patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the dental arch relationships of Japanese patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) from the orthodontic clinic of the University of Tokyo Hospital (UTH) compared with patients treated by the Oslo Cleft Team, Norway. DESIGN: Retrospective study and comparison with previous reports. MATERIALS: Dental models of 24 patients with UCLP in UTH taken before orthodontic treatment and before alveolar bone grafting were included. Surgeons in many hospitals performed primary surgeries. These models were matched for age and gender with 24 models from a consecutive series of patients treated by the Oslo Cleft Team as part of the Eurocran Good Practice Archive. A total of 48 models were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Dental arch relationship was rated with the Goslon Yardstick. The strength of agreement of rating was assessed with weighted kappa statistics. RESULTS: Intra- and interexaminer agreements evaluated by weighted kappa statistics were high, indicating good reproducibility. Almost 60% of the patients in UTH were classified into poor or very poor categories, and the mean Goslon score was 3.50. These results show a contrast to those in Oslo and were the poorest in comparison with previous reports. CONCLUSION: Dental arch relationships in patients with UCLP in UTH were poor. This seemed to be attributable to surgical procedures, but a factor of racial difference in the craniofacial morphology was also considered. Further intercenter research is required to clarify this point.
