Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital malformation in the oral and maxillofacial regions. According to epidemiological investigation, the incidence rate is about 1.625%, and the incidence rate is high in poor areas and rural areas. Cleft lip and palate mainly involve the upper lip, hard palate, soft palate and nose, which can damage the appearance of children, affect pronunciation, swallowing and chewing, and also bring different degrees of psychological damage to children in the growth stage. Therefore, we should actively carry out sequential treatment and participate in the treatment work through multi-disciplines. Based on restoring the oral and maxillofacial function and health of children, we should also pay attention to their aesthetic needs, enhance the treatment confidence of parents and children, and lay the foundation for the follow-up repair treatment. Most patients with cleft lip and palate are complicated with malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment is an important part of the treatment of cleft lip and palate. The orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate can be divided into five periods: newborn period, deciduous dentition period, mixed dentition period, permanent dentition period and combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment period. Presurgicalnasoalveolar molding (PNAM) was used to reduce the severity of facial deformity in children with cleft lip and palate. This article discusses the therapeutic effect of newborn PNAM according to clinical cases. Objective to study the opportunity and current situation of PNAM in the treatment of children with cleft lip and palate, and to provide a favorable reference for clinical orthodontists, emphasizing the close communication between various disciplines.
