Abstract

Distraction osteogenesis is useful treatment which the gradual separation of cut bone edges results in the generation of new bone. It is effective treatment for correcting maxillofacial deformities. Patients with cleft lip and palate usually have maxillary hypoplasia due to scarring of lip and palate. To correct these deformities, we chose to use a 2-jaw orthognathic surgery or distraction osteogenesis. But despite improvements in surgical techniques for maxillofacial deformities, postoperative stability still leaves the question of when relapse may occur. This case report describes the Relapse after treatment of maxillary hypoplasia with cleft lip and palate by Rigid External distraction system over a 2-year treatment and follow-up period. In addition, we reviewed related articles about the influence of the occlusal stability on postoperative stability in patients with cleft lip and palate correction with Distraction osteogenesis.
