Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the impact of early lip reconstruction on maxilla development. The study involved 86 boys and 71 girls aged 0-18 years with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (14%) and unilateral cleft lip and palate (86%). Five main subtypes of alveolar fragments relations were revealed but the results showed no correlation with the presense of cleft palate. The study results proved that: (1) interincisal line displacement to contralateral side in operated children may be seen as primary alveolar deformity; (2) early lip reconstruction (before 6 months of age) is a riskfactor for decidous incisors adentia. Thus the early lip reconstructive procedures with no early orthopedic treatment does not improve primary alveolar deformity and enhances the risks for dental germs injury leading to secondary adentia.
