INTRODUCTION: Orofacial clefts are congenital malformations characterized by an incomplete shaping of structures that separate the nasal from the oral cavity and can affect the right, left, or both sides. The aim of the present study is to assess, with clinical, radiographical, and histological evaluations, the efficacy of piezoelectric devices compared to traditional rotating instruments in the bone harvesting in patients with history of cleft. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have conducted a retrospective analysis on 20 patients with a history of orofacial clefts that were operated on from February 2014 to June 2017. The patients were divided into two groups: Group R in which bone graft was harvested using a burr and Group P in which the bone graft was obtained by a piezoelectric device. After a healing period of 8 months from the grafting procedure, clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The use of the piezoelectric devices in bone harvesting allows a slight improvement in the final volume. This supports a faster integration into the receiving site. CONCLUSIONS: The use of piezoelectric device in patients with history of orofacial cleft that needed bone graft represents a method to be taken into consideration because it has interesting advantages.
简介:唇腭裂是一种先天性畸形,其特征是鼻腔和口腔之间的结构不完全形成,可能影响单侧、双侧或双侧。本研究旨在通过临床、影像学和组织学评估,评估与传统旋转器械相比,压电设备在有唇腭裂病史的患者骨采集方面的疗效。 材料和方法:我们对 2014 年 2 月至 2017 年 6 月期间接受手术治疗的 20 例有唇腭裂病史的患者进行了回顾性分析。患者分为两组:R 组采用磨钻采集骨移植物,P 组采用压电设备获取骨移植物。在移植物植入术后 8 个月的愈合期后,进行临床和影像学评估。 结果与讨论:在骨采集过程中使用压电设备可略微提高最终体积。这支持更快地整合到接收部位。 结论:在需要骨移植的有唇腭裂病史的患者中使用压电设备是一种值得考虑的方法,因为它具有有趣的优势。
