Short And Long Term

Objective: The objective of this retrospective longitudinal study was to evaluate short- and long-term results of the application of the Liou Alt-RAMEC (alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction) technique, a late orthopedic maxillary protraction technique, with intraoral anchorage, in patients with cleft. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) were consecutively treated with the Alt-RAMEC technique. The average age of the patients was 11.7 years (10.3-13.2 years) before protraction and 18.3 years (17.4-21.1 years) at long-term follow-up. A sample of nontreated patients with UCLP was used as a control group. It was matched for sex, skeletal class III, and age (11.3 years). The control sample had records at the end of growth (18.7 years). Results: The sagittal advancement of A-point, after the application of the technique, was 5.7 (2.17) mm. Some mandibular dentoalveolar and positional adaptation was noted. The position of the maxilla was stable in the long term. On the other hand, the UCLP control group showed hardly any growth at the maxillary level during the long-term follow-up period. Conclusion: Our results showed that the Alt-RAMEC technique, performed at the correct time, with a double-hinged expander, followed by class III spring or elastic traction, 24 hours per day, allows for satisfactory maxillary protraction, with, at this stage, apparently stable long-term results. Nevertheless, as only 50% of the patients had long-term follow-up data, we are still unable to predict the percentage of patients which will not eventually need orthognathic surgery.

Objective To evaluate speech in adults treated for unilateral cleft lip and palate with one-stage or two-stage palate closure and compare the speech of the patients with that of a noncleft control group. Design Cross-sectional study with long-term follow-up. Participants/Setting All unilateral cleft lip and palate patients born from 1960 to 1987 and treated at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, were invited (n = 109). Participation rate was 67% (n = 73) at a mean of 35 years after primary surgery. Forty-seven had been treated according to one-stage palate closure and 26 according to two-stage palate closure. Pharyngeal flap surgery had been performed in 11 of the 73 patients (15%). The noncleft control group consisted of 63 age-matched volunteers. Main Outcome Measure(s) Speech-language pathologists rated perceptual speech characteristics from blinded audio recordings. Results Among patients, seven (10%) presented with hypernasality, 12 (16%) had audible nasal emission and/or nasal turbulence, five (7%) had consonant production errors, one (2%) had glottal reinforcements/substitutions, and one (2%) had reduced intelligibility. Controls had no audible signs of velopharyngeal insufficiency and no quantifiable problems with the other speech production variables. No significant differences were identified between patients treated with one-stage and two-stage palate closure for any of the variables. Conclusions The prevalence of speech outcome indicative of velopharyngeal insufficiency among adult patients treated for unilateral cleft lip and palate was low but higher compared with individuals without cleft. Whether palatal closure is performed in one or two stages does not seem to affect the speech outcome at a mean age of 35 years.
