Biomechanical Point of View of Craniofacial Growth Associated with Maxillary Cleft
Abstract: Maxillary clefting is a well-recognized condition. It will result in growth retardation and marked aesthetic problem. Repair had been accused to cause abundancy in the scar production that claimed to cause most of the cleft sequalae. We had suggested a new theory that explain growth retardation. Numerical model had been built. Results are clearly showing the disturbed distribution in the loads that stand behind the maxillary hypoplasia.
Keywords: maxillary clefts, numerical simulation, biomechanics, craniofacial growth
