[An experimental study of the influence and mechanism of surgically induced cleft palate and palatoplasty on teeth and dental arch in dogs].
The dogs were selected as the experimental subjects in this study. The authors continuously observed the maxillary teeth and dental arch form in preoperation and 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34 weeks of post operation to all the animals. 40 puppies were divided into four groups, which were unoperated control group, surgically induced cleft palate group, cleft palate repaired group and cleft palate implanted bone group. The experimental result showed: there were remarkable differences at rate of itself growth between deciduous dentition and permanent dentition in the four groups. The result suggested that the cleft palate was a reason for disturbances of dental arch development, an exposed bone wound in hard palate of maxillary after palatoplasty was an important reason that it made maxillary dental arch growth problem heavier, authors could prevent the disturbs the transverse development of the maxillary dental arch from cleft palate who had or had not repaired by implanted bone in total cleft palate.
