To observe the impact on maxillary growth of the use of buccal fat pads to pack palate relaxing incisions.
We recruited 30 patients aged 3-4 years with a complete cleft palate. Half (15) of the patients underwent reparative surgery that entailed packing buccal fat pads into the bilateral raw bony surfaces and served as the experimental group. The remaining 15 patients underwent reparative surgery that entailed packing and fixing relaxing incisions with iodoform gauze and served as the control group. After a 5-year follow-up, the differences in data from X-ray cephalometry and upper dental models in the two groups were analyzed using the T test.
A significant difference (P < 0.05) in maxillary growth was observed between the two groups of children with cleft palate.
The results supported the use of buccal fat pads to pack relaxing incisions which led to improved maxillary development in patients with cleft palate.
观察使用颊脂垫填塞腭部松弛切口对上颌生长的影响。
我们招募了30例3 - 4岁的完全性腭裂患者。其中一半(15例)患者接受修复手术,将颊脂垫填塞到双侧骨质创面,作为试验组。其余15例患者接受修复手术,用碘仿纱条填塞并固定松弛切口,作为对照组。经过5年的随访,使用t检验分析两组患者X线头影测量和上颌牙模型数据的差异。
两组腭裂患儿在上颌生长方面存在显著差异(P < 0.05)。
结果支持使用颊脂垫填塞松弛切口,这可改善腭裂患者的上颌发育。
