Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need for Detecting Subjects with Great Need for Orthognathic Surgery
Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 2023 Nov 30:10556656231216833. doi: 10.1177/10556656231216833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndex of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need (IOFTN) Identifies patients with greatest need for orthoganthic surgery. This systematic review looks into the available evidence on prevalence of patients with great treatment need (IOFTN 4&5) who had orthognathic surgery in previous studies. Literature search of the major electronic databases was carried out for articles published between 2014 and September 2023, looking for "Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need","Orthognathic Surgery","IOFTN...

Anatomical and Physiological Changes Following Primary Palatoplasty Using "The Buccal Flap Approach"
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that adult males who received the DOZP + BF repair at the time of primary palatoplasty and no history of secondary speech surgery or orthognathic surgery present with a longer effective velar length and larger effective VP ratio in comparison to the non-cleft group. Future research is needed to compare patients with and without favorable outcomes from multiple surgical types to fully understand how surgical techniques alter the anatomy.PMID:38037274 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231215141 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Electromyographic Evaluation of Masticatory Muscle Activity in Individuals with and without Cleft Lip/Palate: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: According to our meta-analysis, cleft patients exhibited increased resting muscle activity but decreased activity during maximum bite force, indicating reduced efficiency of masticatory muscles compared to non-cleft patients. These differences can be attributed to anatomical variations, compensatory mechanisms, and previous treatments.PMID:38037351 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231201235 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Standardization of Videorecorded Speech Samples for Children with Cleft Palate: Methods to Facilitate High-Quality Speech Outcomes Data Collection
Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 2023 Nov 28:10556656231217645. doi: 10.1177/10556656231217645. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Collection of high-quality videorecorded speech samples is essential for speech outcomes research.SOLUTION: Cleft palate team SLPs were trained to collect standard videorecorded speech samples in the clinic setting across 20 sites in North America. Standard training and equipment was provided.WHAT WE DID THAT IS NEW: Quality management procedures were developed and utilized to verify video quality and protocol adherence. Over 97% of speech samples collected by trained SLPs met defined quality s...

Modified Mucosal Reconstruction in Unilateral Complete Cleft of Lip and Primary Palate: Surgical Technique and Practical Strategies
This article combines the previously-described C-flap mucosal flap and inferior turbinate flap with the newly-described lateral nasal mucosal flap for the mucosal repair of this uncommon subtype of deformity. Valuable practical strategies are offered to optimize the surgical execution within a limited pediatric intranasal surgical access, targeting to minimize tissue trauma and bleeding.PMID:38014431 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231212264 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
