Analise pela cefalometria radiografica e pela moldagem do tratamento cirurgico e da assistencia bucomaxilar nas fissuras labiopalatinas. / Analysis by radiographic cephalometry and molding of the surgical treatment and buccomaxillary care in cleft lip and cleft palate

Os AA apresentam o plano da assistencia prestada a fissura labio-palatina, que inclui tratamento cirurgico precoce, caracterizado por ser pouco traumatizante, conservador, em etapas e em idades adequadas, seguido de assistencia ortopedica maxilar, ortodontica e protetica. O resultado da palatorrafia a longo prazo foi estudado em 61 pacientes pela cefalografia radiografica, que revelou comprometimento tanto nas fissuras completas uni, como nas bilaterais, mas satisfatoriamente compensado pela assistencia ortopedica maxilar pre-operatoria e, na idade da denticao decidua, pelas assistencias ortodontica e protetica
