EFFECT OF SURGICAL MANIPULATION TO MORPHOMETRIC DEVELOPMENT OF FACE AND JAW IN PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL LIP AND PALATE SPLITS

Abstract

The article presents the results of maxillofacial morphometry after surgery in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate. Patients were divided into two groups. The results of the two groups were compared. Proportions of morphometric parameters of maxillofacial region in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate and relative changes in compliance with control group of healthy children were studied. The more perfect and age-appropriate surgical procedures in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate, the more likely it is that the morphometric parameters of the maxillofacial region will comply with the “Golden Section” principle and reduce the rehabilitation period.
