About this study

Maxillary hypoplasia in CLP deformities results from congenital reduction in midfacial growth and the effects of the surgical scar from CLP repair.Turvey et al. suggested that this disproportionate jaw growth is the biologic consequence of prior surgical intervention for closure of the soft tissues and is not related to the congenital cleft deformity, Midfacial hypoplasia is commonly treated by performing conventional Le Fort surgery to displace the maxilla anteriorly and stabilization afterward with rigid fixation along with orthodontics treatment. .

Midface hypoplasia cleft patient has the following characteristics: concave facial profile, inverted nasal tip, wide alar base, acute nasolabial angle, and excessive exposure of sclera. Intraoral findings are anterior and posterior crossbite, CLP, accentuated curve of Spee, Class III dental malocclusion, multiple missing teeth, oronasal communication, and residual cleft. Speech disturbances are also usually present due to velopharyngeal incompetency and oronasal communication.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • orthognathic surgery ,lefort 1,bsso ,DOProcedure or surgery

    Le Fort I osteotomy is often used in the correction of dental occlusion and maxillary hypoplasia in cleft patients. In addition, the osteotomy may also improve patients' facial appearance and self-esteem

  • distraction osteogenesisProcedure or surgery

    Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique that uses body's own repairing mechanisms for optimal reconstruction of the tissues.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CEPHALOMETRIC

    MAXILLARY COMPONENT SNA (degrees) Sella to Nasion to point A angle normal angle is 82 degree plus or minus 3 degree

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. facial canons

    the rule of fifths, which divides the face in the transverse dimension into five equal parts by assuming that the intercanthal distance is equal to the nasal width and widths of the eyes, incorporates orbital and orbito-nasal canons

    and three equal lengths of the face (the forehead, the nose, and the mouth and chin), as well as the intercanthal distance being equal to the eye fissure length measurement are in cm

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing orthognathic surgery ,lefort 1,bsso ,DO and distraction osteogenesis in people with Maxillary Hypoplasia and Cleft Lip Palate, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CEPHALOMETRIC (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2025.
