title: [Comparative studies of the influence of osteoplasty upon maxillary growth (author's transl)].
abstract: Model series of patients with cheiloschisis, gnathoschisis, and palatoschisis, who at the age of 4 to 6 had been undergoing surgical operations with simultaneous osteoplasty, were examined, at the age of 9 to 16, for the maxillary growth in length and width. Serving as a reference group were models of patients of a morphologically similar group where the operation for cleft palate had been performed by the same technique, but without additional osteoplasty. It was not possible to obtain statistical evidence for a negative influence of osteoplasty upon maxillary growth.
