Prominent premaxilla is one of the problems encountered when dealing with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate patients. Secondary alveolar bone grafting with these patients would achieve filling of the osseous defect, supports the alar base, eliminate the oro-nasal fistula and enhance the maxillary instability. This article describes the management of a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient with an extremely protruding premaxilla done in one stage surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such degree of severity in the English literature.
突出的前颌骨是处理双侧完全性唇腭裂患者时遇到的问题之一。对这些患者进行二期牙槽骨植骨可实现骨缺损的填充，支撑鼻翼基部，消除口鼻瘘并增强上颌骨的稳定性。本文描述了一例双侧唇腭裂伴极度突出前颌骨患者的一期手术治疗。据我们所知，这是英文文献中关于如此严重程度的首例报道。
