Опис
A one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary approach to manage the most challenging cleft lip and palate cases.
This course brings together the expertise of Maria Costanza Meazzini, Adaia Valls Ontañón, and Ann Kummer, pioneers in craniofacial surgery, orthodontics, and speech pathology, to deliver an unparalleled learning experience.
Participants will gain insights into early diagnosis, presurgical orthopedics, advanced surgical protocols, orthodontic intervention, and speech and resonance rehabilitation—covering every stage of patient care from infancy to adolescence.
Through evidence-based lectures, detailed clinical case analyses, and step-by-step protocols, this course equips clinicians to:
– Understand the genetic, embryological, and structural foundations of cleft lip and palate
– Integrate surgical, orthodontic, and presurgical protocols to optimize craniofacial growth and aesthetics
– Apply advanced alveolar bone grafting techniques and premaxillary osteotomy strategies with precision
– Manage speech and resonance disorders through an interdisciplinary, team-based approach
– Leverage cutting-edge technologies such as 3D virtual planning and platelet-rich plasma applications.
Урок 1.Cleft Lip and Palate: From Embryogenesis to Clinical Protocols in Early Treatment
– Cleft lip and palate (CLP): genetics, etiology, and epidemiology
– Embryogenesis and fusion of the lips
– CLP: prenatal diagnosis
– Presurgical infant orthopedics in CLP cases
– The functional matrix theory
– Does passive palate improve maxillary growth?
– Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and primary columella lengthening
– Modifications: differences between the original Grayson-NY NAM and Milano NAM
– Analysis of clinical cases.
Урок 2.Orthodontic Expansion and Intervention in Cleft Lip and Palate Patients
– When should expansion be carried out?
– Indications for expansion in cleft lip and palate (CLP) cases
– Special indications for expansion in early mixed dentition
– Maxillary expansion and auditory improvement
– Audiometric tests and otoendoscopy before and after early rapid expansion (ERE)
– Orthodontic expansion prior to bone augmentation: analysis of clinical cases and results.
Урок 3.Craniofacial Growth and Early Maxillary Protraction in Unilateral Cleft Patients
– Progressive maxillary hypoplasia in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP)
– Growth in untreated cleft patients
– Theories of craniofacial growth regulation
– Early maxillary protraction in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) cases
– Surgery-first approach
– Analysis of clinical cases.
Урок 4.Alveolar Cleft Surgical Repair: Protocols and Clinical Applications
– Alveolar bone graft and dental eruption
– Gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP) and secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG) in children with cleft palate
– Protocols of one-step vs. two-step surgery
– Three-wall reconstruction: nasal, buccal, and palatal
– Closure of large fistulae before bone grafting:
- Maxillary expansion prior to surgery: before or after bone graft?
- When to start orthodontics in cleft palate patients?
- Protocols of maxillary expansion and protraction
- Step-by-step protocols of premaxillary osteotomy
- 3D virtual planning: accuracy and intraoperative time
- Application of platelet-rich plasma in the cleft alveolus
- Post-operative recommendations
- Analysis of clinical cases.
Урок 5.Speech and Resonance Disorders in Cleft Lip and Palate
– Physical factors influencing articulation
– Structural relationships critical for proper speech production
– Obligatory distortions vs. compensatory productions
– Impact of abnormal structure on articulation
– Dental anomalies and malocclusion
– Effects on speech due to clefts of the lip and alveolar ridge
– Velopharyngeal insufficiency
– Pharyngeal obstruction and other resonance issues
– Effects of clefts of the hard palate and velum.
– Interdisciplinary Management of Speech Disorders:
- Role of speech therapists, surgeons, and orthodontists
- Importance of team-based care for cleft patients.
