MODERN CONCEPTS OF COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL CLEFT PALATE AFTER URANOPLASTY (REVIEW)
Abstract
In the domestic and international literature, there are a number of studies on the treatment outcomes of patients with cleft lip and palate, operated on at different ages using various uranoplasty techniques. However, there are no studies characterizing the relationship between biometric parameters of the maxilla and the uranoplasty technique. Comparative analysis of treatment outcomes in the vast majority of cases is conducted with an emphasis on a single diagnostic criterion. However, studying surgical outcomes in patients with cleft lip and palate is only possible using a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm that includes biometric analysis, graphic recording of maxillary parameters, and radiographic examination. Inadequate attention has been paid to graphic reconstructive analysis of the shape and size of the upper oral cavity in patients with congenital malformations of the maxillofacial region. The lack of information regarding the specific changes in the biometric parameters of the upper jaw using various methods of uranoplasty, as well as additional diagnostic methods for disorders of the dentoalveolar system in patients with congenital malformations, justifies further research in this area.
