Unilateral Advancement of the Maxillary Minor Segment by Distraction Osteogenesis in Patients with Repaired Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: Report of Two Cases
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.
