Successful surgical correction of retruded maxilla due to BCLP

19/2/2019

Comments

 

A girl with BCLP

This is a 19-year-old female from Bhopal. She has a known history of bilateral cleft lip and palate. She had undergone multiple surgeries for cleft lip repair and palate repair. Alveolar cleft defect reconstruction was also done. All the surgeries were done elsewhere. They have a familial history of cleft lip and palate. It was passed down through generations.

Backwardly placed upper jaw

She presented with a complaint of backwardly placed upper jaw. This gave her an aged look. She was also unhappy with her face. The patient wanted to have a more pleasing face. She was unable to bite and chew food.

A local dentist had mentioned that her upper jaw was small at a young age. He stated that she will have orthodontic problems in the future. He started noticing the difference when she was in a mixed dentition period. He had suggested that she would require orthognathic surgery at a later age or risk developing jaw joint pain.

He had reviewed her at about 18 years of age. During which he noticed that she did not have a proper bite relationship. The upper and lower teeth were completely malaligned. She had a lot of dental issues. There was also a noticeable anterior crossbite. The roof of her mouth was normal after surgical correction of cleft palate.​

Clinical evaluation

​She had an abnormal bite. The upper and lower jaw was in an abnormal position. Every single tooth including the upper molars was also abnormally placed. She had an anterior and posterior crossbite. This is also known as a complete crossbite. The patient had a more curved facial profile. Her profile was concave. This showed that she needed advancement of the maxilla.

Radiological evaluation

​Radiological evaluation revealed backwardly placed upper jaw. This was due to restricted growth of maxilla. The growth of mandible was normal. Since the maxillary jaw growth was restricted, the mandible looked longer. The upper front teeth were placed inside the lower front teeth.

Surgery

​Maxillofacial surgeon Dr.S.M.Balaji advised upper jaw surgery by bringing the maxilla forward.   Maxillary advancement was planned by Le Fort I osteotomy. The segment was to be fixed using Ti plates and screws. An incision made in the maxilla. Flap elevated. Bone cuts made above the apices of the teeth. Pterygomaxillary dysjunction done.  The maxillary segment was mobilized. The maxilla was pulled forward. It was brought in occlusion and fixed using Titanium plates and locking screws (Ti L plate). The maxillary vestibular region was sutured.

Surgical Outcome

​The patient was greatly satisfied with the results. The surgery was successfully performed. The maxilla was successfully brought forward. The anterior crossbite and posterior crossbite was corrected. The patient will, however, require post-surgical orthodontic treatment for minimal teeth alignment.
