CASE REPORT- MANAGEMENT OF UNILATERAL CLCP PATIENT BY NASOALVEOLAR MOLDING
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 47
Abstract
Clefts of the lip and palate unfortunately are by far the most common major facial malformations in mankind. Fortunately, as a result of technical advancements in the fields of medicine and their families for treatment, much can be done and achieved for them. The orthodontist by virtue of having gained in depth knowledge of the craniofacial complex, its growth and development and expertise in tooth movement has to play a role of prime importance in making critical decisions, planning treatment and rendering care to these patients. Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) is a tissue-expansion procedure performed by dentists prior to a surgical repair for cleft lip and palate.1 The NAM technique allows the paediatric dentist and surgeon to mold the abnormallyformed nasal cartilage into a more optimal relationship prior to surgery.2 The carefully-controlled tissue expansion created by the NAM allows for the creation of a more normalappearing nose at the time of surgery for the lip closure than compared to traditional treatment by secondary alveolar bone grafting
