After cleft lip repair the upper lip is sometimes attached at the premaxilla. The scar bands and contractures may occur deleterious effects on: the growth, the facial expression, the speech, problems during orthodontic treatment and in prosthetic dental care, regression of the attached gingiva, resorption of the transplanted bone and the aspect of the upper lip. In nine edentulous patients with cleft lip palate, in six patients with cleft lip palate and with a mutilated dentition and in ten younger patients with cleft lip palate the buccal sulcus was successfully restored. The importance of a free upper lip and adequate sulcus has been under-emphasized in treatment of the patient with cleft lip palate.
唇裂修复术后，上唇有时会附着在前上颌骨处。瘢痕带和挛缩可能会对以下方面产生有害影响：生长发育、面部表情、言语、正畸治疗和假牙护理过程中的问题、附着龈退缩、移植骨吸收以及上唇外观。在9例唇腭裂无牙患者、6例唇腭裂伴牙列缺损患者和10例较年轻的唇腭裂患者中，颊沟均成功修复。在唇腭裂患者的治疗中，游离上唇和足够的龈沟的重要性一直未得到充分重视。
