Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is a powerful tool in the treatment of patients with unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate. The primary goal of NAM is to improve alignment of critical anatomic elements before surgical repair of the unilateral or bilateral cleft lip. Modifications of the position of the alveolar segments and their associated lip elements, the lower lateral cartilages, and the columella achieved with NAM are helpful for creating a suitable platform for tension-free lip repair.
鼻牙槽骨塑形(NAM)是治疗单侧或双侧唇腭裂患者的一项有力工具。NAM的主要目标是在单侧或双侧唇裂手术修复前改善关键解剖结构的对齐情况。通过NAM实现的牙槽骨段及其相关唇部结构、下外侧软骨和鼻小柱位置的改变,有助于为无张力唇修复创造合适的平台。
