[Surgical treatment of maxillary complications of labiopalatine clefts (author's transl)]. / Traitement chirurgical des séquelles maxillaires des fentes labio-narinaires.

ABSTRACT

The most frequently observed maxillary complications of labiopalatine clefts are endognathia and mesognathia. Their treatment, which consists essentially of a maxillary osteotomy, enables correction not only of dental articulation disorders but also ensures improved upper lip projection and harmonious support of the base of the alae nasi.
