Authors: Pfeifauf KD, Snyder-Warwick AK, Scheve S, Grellner CL, Skolnick GB, Naidoo SD, Patel KB Abstract BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary cleft care protocols commonly do not incorporate family needs, concerns, and preferences. SOLUTION: A family-centered model would incorporate family needs, concerns, and preferences with a view toward...

CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences in OHRQoL among children with OFC were found for the well-being domain for children with CLP as reported by P-CPQ, but the symptom domain and total score showed no differences. Poorer scores were reported for children of Pacific Island descent using both questionnaires. The study findings indicate that children with...

CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive and motor scores were similar for preschool-aged children with and without CFM. However, children with CFM scored lower than controls on language measures. We recommend early monitoring of language to identify preschoolers with CFM who could benefit from intervention. PMID: 33322943 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source:...

CONCLUSION: This relatively novel approach to maxillary advancement by maxillary distraction using a combined surgical and modified orthodontic technique has proven to be successful. This protocol and the technique have improved function, occlusion, and the aesthetics. PMID: 33322923 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial...

CONCLUSIONS: The information presented to patients on cleft care is too complex and well above the recommended 7th-grade reading level target set forth by the NIH and AMA, which hinders functional health literacy.

CONCLUSIONS: The vomer flap technique in cleft palate repair appears to be associated with a low ONF rate unaffected by syndromic diagnosis, number of surgeons, or patient age at time of repair. PMID: 33302724 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

CONCLUSIONS: The literature appears to support the use of preoperative antibiotics for cleft palatoplasty, but the benefits of prolonged postoperative antibiotic use remain questionable. PMID: 33302728 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

CONCLUSIONS: The 2-staged reconstructive approach described herein effectively resulted in resolution of prior recurrent recalcitrant fistulas and resulted in eventual bone grafting. By employing this technique, we report successful fistula repair and bone grafting in patients who had previously undergone multiple surgical reconstructions. PMID:...

CONCLUSIONS: There was no correlation between the occlusal cant and the vertical and horizontal skeletal asymmetries. Vertical asymmetries of the lower face and the medial cranial base were negatively correlated with the horizontal lower facial asymmetry.

We describe the case of a 2-year-old patient with Stickler syndrome possessing a unique anatomic presentation of this pathology, managed successfully with a unilateral pharyngeal flap. PMID: 33280426 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
