ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To research the influence of palate bone implantation to the growth of maxilla in three dimensional direction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>40 patients of congenital cleft palate type II with palate board damage were stochastically divide into the comparison group and bone planted group. In bone planted group, HA-Bone cement was used to repair palate tabular damage. All patients are 16 full year old, cephalometric radiograph and tooth cast model were measured and contrast analysis was applied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Planted bone group and the comparison group does not have the significance difference in both the maxilla length and maxilla hightness( P > 0.05); But there was significance difference in the width of post-part of the maxilla (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>It could promote the growth of maxilla width in use of bone implantation, that advocated the bone repair in the sequence treatment process in cases of the hard palate bone damage.</p>
