Objective: This report describes the case of a male patient with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who presented with midface deficiency and an anteroposteriorly constricted maxilla. Design: Case report Interventions: Correction involved anterior distraction of the segmented maxilla. Results: The present case demonstrates that elongation of the maxilla with anterior distraction is an effective way to develop a proper dental arch, correct anterior and posterior crowding, and improve a midface deficiency.

Distraction osteogenesis is one of the latest treatment modalities in correcting skeletal discrepancies in the craniofacial region. Maxillary retrusion is a common problem when deformity of the face is concerned, especially in cleft lip and palate patients. Distraction osteogenesis utilizing internal or external has an enormous role in future as an alternative method of skeletal correction in patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia. In addition, periodontal rehabilitation in these patients is of utmost importance especially at the end of treatment. This case report presents one such case of severe maxillary retrusion treated successfully by distraction osteogenesis. JMS 2012;15(1):78-81.

<p class="abstract">The treatment protocol of patients having maxillary retrognatia is presented in this case series. Maxillary expansion, secondary alveolar bone grafting and/or oronasal fistula closure were performed in 6 cleft lip and palate patients. Preoperative simulation of Le Fort I osteotomy and adaptation of maxillary distractors were realized with stereolytographic cranium models. Intraoral maxillary distraction was applied under general anesthesia. A single unit acrylic occlusal splint was ligated to maxillary dental arch and worked as a guide during entire activation and consolidation period of distraction osteogenesis. Rigid internal fixation plates were placed in the osteotomy sites at the end of consolidation period. The amount of maxillary advancement was between 5-14 mm.  Satisfying occlusal and skeletal relationships were obtained in all patients. Advancement of maxilla by distraction osteogenesis resulted in gradual formation of bone at the osteotomy line and enhanced treatment outcome in patients with cleft lip and palate.</p>

Objective Collapse of the maxillary minor segment with lateral crossbite is a common feature in patients with repaired unilateral cleft lip/palate because of maxillary alveolar bony defect and palatal scar tissue. Distraction osteogenesis (DOG) is an effective technique of lengthening and augmentation for bone and gingiva. This case report describes the effects of unilateral advancement of the maxillary minor segment by DOG in two patients with the repaired unilateral cleft lip/palate.
