摘要
Introduction: Several techniques of distraction osteogenesis have been applied for the correction of compromised midface in patients with clefts of the lip, alveolus and palate. Purpose: This article presents a technique of callus distraction applied in a specific case of hypoplasia of a cleft maxilla with the sagittal advancement of the maxilla thus not: affecting velopharyngeal function. Conclusion: The decision to apply distraction osteogenesis for advancement of the anterior maxillary segment in cleft patients offers many advantages.
