Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Nasoalveolar reconstruction for patients with cleft lip and palate is a challenging job for the surgeon. Many procedures to obtain esthetic results and decrease the cleft gap have been suggested. Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding (PNAM) is used as an adjunct for reshaping the alveolar and nasal segments prior to surgical repair. Rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate usually requires a team approach which includes a Plastic Surgeon, Orthodontist, Speech Therapist, Pediatrician and a Prosthodontist. The objectives of Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding (PNAM) involve correcting lip segments, lower lateral alar cartilages, and alveolar cleft segments. This article describes the use of headgear as an adjunct to molding device in the reduction of unilateral cleft lip and palate.
