CISNEROS DOMINGUEZ, Grethel; CASTELLANOS ORTIZ, Betania; ROMERO GARCIA, Lázaro Ibrahím  y  CISNEROS DOMINGUEZ, Carmen María. Therapeutic characterization of patients with lip and palate malformations. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.9, pp.5018-5026. ISSN 1029-3019.

An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 98 patients with lip and palate malformations, attended by the multidisciplinary team of Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January 2000 to the same month of 2009, in order to characterize them from the therapeutic point of view. Elastic bandages as presurgical orthopedic therapy (43.4%) prevailed in the case material. Likewise, palatorrhaphies followed by cheilonasorraphies were in correspondence with the type of malformation and the set time. The postoperative malocclusion prevailed in moderate (53.4%) to severe (28.6%) forms, associated with a greater number of anatomical structures involved. In the postoperative orthodontic treatment removable appliances (81.9%) were mainly used and it was related to the age of patients treated.

Palabras clave : lip and palate malformation; presurgical orthopedic therapy; postoperative orthodontic treatment; postoperative malocclusion; palatorraphy; cheilonasorraphy; multidisciplinary team; secondary health care.
