RESUMO
Objective: To assess cephalometric changes in hard and soft tissues of bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients following surgical maxillary advancement and its effect over the soft tissue profile. Design: Retrospective study which compares an immediately pre surgical to a post surgical moment, at least six months later, through cephalometric lateral radiographs and a cephalometry computer program, of individuals with cleft lip and palate. Setting: Clinic of Dentistry, HRCA/USP. Subjects: 8 women and 17 men, from 15 to 35 years old and mean age of 20.56, underwent orthognathic surgery with maxillary advancement during the rehabilitation treatment. Variables: Changes between different cephalometric landmarks from pre surgical to post surgical periods in hard and soft tissue of maxilla, Nasolabial angle (NLA) and distances representing the length (Sn-Sts) and thickness (Sts-Ls) of the upper lip, besides the ratios of soft tissue changes relative to hard tissue movements. Results and Conclusion: Horizontal cephalometric changes happened to all of the studied landmarks in both maxilla and soft tissue profile; vertically, only Pronasale (Prn), Subnasale (Sn) and Ashowed significant changes; the significant increasing of NLA and Sn-Sts also was observed. The ratios of facial profile soft tissue changes relative to bone movement were smaller than ratios observed in patients with other cleft types and patients with no clefts, however, this changes remain in the same directions.
