SILVA SAZO, Javiera; TORRES MOLINA, Romina; FIERRO-MONTI, Claudia and PEREZ-FLORES, Antonieta. Presurgical orthopedics in patients with cleft lip and palate: nutrition, aesthetics and gap between maxillary segments. A systematic review. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.38, e303. Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2021n37e303.
Objective:
To describe the results of the use of presurgical orthopedic teatments NAM, Dynacleft and nasal component in terms of esthetics, feeding, and the gap between maxillary segments.
Method
: We conducted a literature review in Pubmed and SCIELO, in addition to a manual search of books and scientific articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 25 studies were analyzed.
Results
: The literature indicates that NAM and Dynacleft improve esthetics and reduce the gap between the maxillary segments. However, more evidence is needed in relation to feeding.
Conclusion:
The results of presurgical orthopedics are better if treatment begins in the first days after birth. The esthetic benefits include lip and nasal symmetry, nasal tip projection, and post primary surgical scar.
Keywords : Orthopedics; Cleft Lip; Cleft Palate.
