[Active plate in preoperative treatment of infants with primary and secondary palatal clefts].
The study deals with trials of early maxillo-orthopaedic treatment of children born with cleft anomalies of the palate. In infants aged 1-2 weeks with unilateral or bilateral clefts of the primary and secondary palate with high-grade maxillary deformity active upper plate was used since the first labial operation at the age of 6-7 months. The obtained improvement in the mutual relationships of the cleft parts of the maxilla, the semicircular shape of the maxillary alveolar process and restoration of normal functions of sucking and swallowing ensure normal development of occlusion and function of the stomatognathic system.
