  • Soodvisnost funkcije in morfologije zgornjega dela ustne votline pri enostranskih heilognatopalatoshizah = The interdependence of function and morphology of the upper part of the oralcavity in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate patients
    Koželj, Vesna
    At birth, a child with a unilateral complete cleft of the lip alveolus and palate has a characteristically formed upper part of the oral cavity and a strongly deformed nasal septum. This condition is ... a consequence of the functional adaptation of the affected structures during the prenatal period. After birth, these deformities remain, but they do not impair the development of the facial skeleton, which does not manifest any significant deviations from the normal after the end of the growth period. Surgical procedures changethese conditions and the child is forced to begin breathing also throughthe mouth. In mouth breathing, the tongue cannot rest on the palate andthis leads to an altered balance between the muscles which surround and fill the oral cavity. The changed balance is the reason for incorrect development of the facial skeleton, which results in a severe orthognathic anomaly. With presurgical treatment used at this Department, we have succeededin reducing the degree of nasal septum deformities to an extent whichallows unimpaired nasal breathing after surgery. If the child also maintains a proper position of the tongue, there are chances for normal skeletal development.
