This review will compare the efficacy of nasoalveolar molding plates fabricated using a digital workflow to conventional fabrication methods or no intervention in infants with cleft lip or palate.
Nasoalveolar molding reduces the severity of orofacial defects in infants with cleft lip or palate using a series of adaptable plates for the maxillary arch. The conventional method needs multiple patient visits at short intervals for treatment. A digital workflow can be used to fabricate multiple plates in one appointment, which eliminates human error, reduces the number of appointments, and allocates more time for patient care for the orthodontic team than appliance fabrication.
This review will consider clinical studies that report the results of digital nasoalveolar molding in infants with cleft lip or palate and compare it to the conventional method or to no treatment. Outcomes of interest will be objective measures of craniofacial form, nasolabial measurements, or palatal form.
This review will be conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Oral Health Group Trial Register, and ClinicalTrials.gov will be searched using appropriate keywords. Publications in English will be considered. Screening based on titles and abstracts will be done after de-duplication, followed by full-text reading for selection based on the inclusion criteria. Data extracted from the studies will be tabulated and assessed for risk of bias. If applicable, a meta-analysis of the pooled data will be conducted.

本综述将比较使用数字化工作流程制造的鼻腔牙槽成形板与传统制造方法或不干预在唇裂或腭裂婴儿中的疗效。
鼻腔牙槽成形术通过一系列可适应的上颌弓板来减少唇裂或腭裂婴儿的面中部畸形程度。传统方法需要在短时间内多次就诊进行治疗。数字化工作流程可在一次就诊中制造多个板，从而消除人为错误，减少就诊次数，并为正畸团队分配更多时间用于患者护理，而不是用于制作矫正器。
本综述将考虑报告数字化鼻腔牙槽成形术在唇裂或腭裂婴儿中结果的临床研究，并将其与传统方法或不治疗进行比较。感兴趣的结果将是颅面形态、鼻唇测量或腭形态的客观测量。
本综述将按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南进行。将使用适当的关键字搜索包括 PubMed、Embase、Cochrane 口腔健康组试验登记处和 ClinicalTrials.gov 在内的数据库。将考虑发表在英语的出版物。在去重后根据标题和摘要进行筛选，然后根据纳入标准进行全文阅读以进行选择。将从研究中提取的数据制成表格，并评估偏倚风险。如果适用，将对汇总数据进行荟萃分析。
