ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The association between maxillary protraction and bone graft in patients with cleft lip and palate remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a secondary alveolar bone graft influences dentoskeletal effects of facemask therapy in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients with a skeletal Class III relationship.METHODS:
In this prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, 61 consecutive boys with unilateral cleft lip and palate and skeletal Class III malocclusion were divided into 3 groups grafted facemask group (n = 21), ungrafted facemask group (n = 20), and untreated control group (n = 20). Sixteen dentoskeletal measurements on lateral cephalometric radiographs were compared before and after therapy or observation with 1-way analysis of variance or the Mann-Whitney U test.RESULTS:
After facemask therapy, the grafted group showed a statistically significantly greater advancement of Point A (S-Vert-A, 4.18 ± 1.94 mm; SNA, 3.51° ± 2.21°) than did the ungrafted group (S-Vert-A, 2.64 ± 1.58 mm; SNA, 1.92° ± 1.05°). Furthermore, significant SNB changes were found in the grafted group when compared with those in the ungrafted group (-0.38° ± 1.77° vs -1.69° ± 1.34°; P <0.05). The changes in the mandibular plane angle (MP-SN, MP-FH) in the grafted group were less pronounced than in the ungrafted group by approximately 2° (P <0.05). Flaring of the maxillary incisors was more pronounced in treated subjects than in untreated subjects. The mandibular incisors proclined in both grafted (1.54° ± 4.21°) and control (0.97° ± 3.71°) patients, and were retroclined in the ungrafted group (-2.13° ± 3.68°).CONCLUSIONS:
Facemask therapy performed after an alveolar bone graft produced more anterior maxillary migration (90%) and less pronounced mandibular clockwise rotation (10%) than those in the ungrafted group (50%, 50%, respectively).
