Introduction to Amniotic Membranes in Maxillofacial Surgery-A Scoping Review
Conclusions: Amniotic membranes offer a versatile and effective option in maxillofacial surgery, promoting wound healing, reducing inflammation, and providing a scaffold for tissue regeneration. Further research, including randomized trials and comparative studies, is warranted to validate the efficacy and optimize the utilization of HAM in clinical practice.PMID:38674309 | PMC:PMC11051762 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040663 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Posterior Positioning of Levator Veli Palatini with Intact Nasal Layer and Side-by-Side Bilateral Buccinator Flaps: Modified Approach for Palatal Lengthening
CONCLUSION: This modified palatal lengthening technique results in a significant lengthening of the palate while maintaining favorable speech outcomes. Future randomized clinical trials are warranted to validate our findings.PMID:38676360 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241248272 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 550: Orthodontic Status and Association with Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life & mdash;A Study of 16-Year-Old Norwegians with a Cleft Lip and Palate
Conclusions: The study revealed an association between severe cleft diagnosis, missing teeth, misaligned teeth, negative overjet, and poor OHRQoL, but a statistically significant association was found only between OHRQoL and poor intermaxillary sagittal relations (unfavorable profile). To improve OHRQoL among patients with clefts, there is a need for an individual follow-up and prioritization of oral healthcare.

Is the collateral circulation pattern in the hard palate affected by cleft deformity?
ConclusionsThe anatomical subunits of the palate exhibited distinct anastomosis patterns. Despite omitted anastomoses with collateral circulation in the cleft zone, arteries maintained their anatomical pattern as seen in the normal specimen in the non-cleft zone.Clinical relevanceBased on the findings in normal- and cleft palates, surgeons may expect developed anastomosis patterns in the non-cleft zone. Due to the lack of microcirculation in the cleft zone, the existent anastomoses should be maintained as much as possible by the surgical technique. This applies anteriorly in the incisive canal territory, alveolar ridges, a...

Comparison of two surgical protocols for the treatment of unilateral cleft lip and palate: a multidisciplinary systematic review and meta-analysis
There is still no unanimous agreement on the optimal surgical protocol(s) for the treatment of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), and a huge variety of protocols are employed by cleft centres across the world. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare reported patient outcomes of the Oslo protocol (and modifications) (OP) and delayed hard palate closure protocols (DHPCP) from a multidisciplinary perspective. A systematic search of multiple databases was conducted until September 2023. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Differences in velopharyngeal pressures during speech sound production in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and healthy individuals
CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that velopharyngeal pressures of patients with UCLP are not sufficient to eliminate nasal resonance or turbulence during articulation, especially for more complex sounds. These results support a general understanding of hypernasality during speech implying a (relative) velopharyngeal insufficiency.PMID:38651020 | PMC:PMC11034380 | DOI:10.3205/000328 (Source: GMS German Medical Science)
