Effects of Computer-Aided Design-Nasoalveolar Molding on Midface Growth in Patients With Complete Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate at 8 Years of Age
Our study suggests that CAD-NAM has no apparent long-term negative effects on skeletal or soft tissue growth in the facial region of patients receiving this therapy compared with those without the treatment of presurgical infant orthopedics (PSIO). Furthermore, this therapy can maintain the nasolabial morphology.
