초록
Cleft lip and palate, the most common craniofacial anomalies, are severe congenital defects that have an incidence of 0.28 to 3.74 per 1000 live births. Although there has been great improvement in the field of cleft surgery, surgical approach cannot be the single solution to resolve the various problems encountered in patients with cleft lip and palate. The concept of presurgical infant orthopedics (PSIO) for gradual closure of the cleft gap and simplified surgical performance was first introduced by McNeil in 1950. Recently, there are many attempts not only to approximate the alveolar segments but also to reshape the nasal cartilage. Three infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate were referred from the department of Plastic Surgery for presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM). Maxillary appliances using resin with orthodontic wire were fabricated. Then these appliance was applied until patients underwent lip surgery. In all cases, the patients could wear the appliance all day since they were able to eat even with the appliance on, This resulted in significant improvements in the nasal symmetry were found. Our appliance, namely K-NAM, extends the wearing time within the limited period and as a result it is expected to maximize the treatment effects. Used properly, this appliance would play a major role in enhancing nasal symmetry with satisfactory results.
