LURENTT, Katyuscia; CAVALCANTE, Maria Aparecida de Albuquerque; GANDELMANN, Italo Honorato Alfredo e SALVATORE, Daniel de Freitas. Orthognathic Surgery in a Patient suffering from a Labiopalatal Fissure: a Case Report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1, pp. 47-52. ISSN 1808-5210.
Patients with an orofacial cleft lip and palate may, during the rehabilitation process until skeletal maturity, develop a skeletal maxillary deficiency as a result of interference from a scar on the lip and palate originating from the initial plastic surgery. We report the case of an adult patient suffering from a labiopalatal fissure with dentofacial skeletal deformity not initially treated, who was submitted to orthodontic-surgical treatment. The peculiarities and planning of such treatment are also described.
