The focus of this study was an analysis of maxillary arch growth changes prior to the time of cheiloplasty up to 4 years of age. Serial dental casts were obtained and measured in 95 children with cleft lip and palate, or both: 7 unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (CLA), 52 unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), 24 bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), and 12 isolated cleft palate (CP). The children were treated at the Kyushu University Dental Hospital. The results are as follows: (1) Prior to cheiloplasty, the maxillary buccal segments in the subjects with cleft lip and palate showed lateral displacement. The premaxilla in BCLP subjects was protruded. (2) Cheiloplasty influenced maxillary anterior arch width, but not posterior width. The operation caused posterior displacement of the premaxilla in BCLP subjects. (3) Palatoplasty affected the growth of the maxillary arch in the transverse and anteroposterior dimensions. (4) A variety of growth patterns observed in the patients (e.g., increasing or decreasing of the maxillary arch dimensions) suggests that maxillary arch dimensions were affected not only by surgery, but also by other individual factors such as genetic facial pattern and severity of the cleft.

Serial frontal and lateral cephalometric radiographs with implants and study models of 31 infants' who received orthopaedic treatment for unilateral cleft lip and palate, were analysed with an electronic XY reader. Partial data for 50 normal infants and 10 isolated palatal cleft patients were included to allow certain comparisons. The records at birth indicate that the size of the alveolar cleft in unilateral cleft cases is governed mainly by the degree of transverse segmental separation which is present and only to a lesser extent by deficiency of alveolar tissue, except in a minority of cases. It is clear that in the early months of life, the divided maxillary arch can be made to assume near normal dimensions by inward rotation of the anterior ends of the segments, at the alveolar and basal level, around axes in the tuberosity regions. Appositional growth of the cleft margins makes little contribution to the reduction in cleft size. The significance of the findings is discussed.

The palatal forms in 20 infants with a complete unilateral cleft lip, and palate (12 with a Hotz plate and 8 without, selected at random) were studied from birth until 18 months of age. Using techniques developed previously, the degree of curvature In the palate and the magnitude of migration of the maxillary segments were measured three-dimensionally. Furthermore, using a newly developed method to approximate a set of the points on the alveolar ridge to a circle in a plane, the form of the alveolar arch was evaluated. Results from the group with a Hotz plate revealed that the plate possesses four effects not seen in the group without a Hotz plate. The size of the palate was larger, and the sagittal gap between the two segments of the maxilla was smaller. These results suggest that the appliance could stimulate the growth of the segments and could prevent collapse of the maxillary arch from the force of lip closure. Third, the steepness of the segments toward the nasal cavity was smaller, possibly occurring because the appliance prevents tongue intrusion into the cleft. Fourth, the magnitude of migration of the lesser segment toward the cleft edge of the major segment was larger. This result suggests that the appliance could guide the growth of the maxillary segments to narrow the cleft width until 18 months of age.

Objective: Evaluation of the effect of infant orthopedics on maxillary arch dimensions in the deciduous dentition in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Design: Prospective two-arm randomized controlled clinical trial with three participating cleft palate centers. Setting: Cleft palate centers of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, Academic Center of Dentistry Amsterdam, and University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Patients: Children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (n = 54) were included. Interventions: Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Half of the patients (IO+) had a presurgical orthopedic plate until surgical closure of the soft palate at the age of 52 weeks; the other half (IO−) did not undergo presurgical orthopedics. Mean outcome measures: Maxillary arch dimensions were assessed on dental casts at 4 and 6 years of age with measurements for arch width, arch depth, arch length, arch form, and the vertical position of the lesser segment. Contact and collapse were assessed also. Results: There were no clinically significant differences found between IO+ and IO− for any of the variables. Conclusions: Infant orthopedics had no observable effect on the maxillary arch dimensions or on the contact and collapse scores in the deciduous dentition at the ages of 4 and 6 years. Considering the Dutchcleft results to date, there is no need to perform infant orthopedics for unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.
