Expiration Date: April 15, 2027
Description:
A significant percentage of patients with a cleft lip and/or palate benefit from orthognathic surgery for correction of their dentofacial deformity. Cleft orthognathic surgery is more challenging and complex than non-cleft orthognathic surgery due to the nature of the deformity as well as previous operations. During this 60-minute webinar, participants will learn the special considerations of the various types of cleft populations so they can appropriately plan treatment.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the staged reconstructive approach to treating cleft lip and palate patients.
- Diagnose and plan treatment for jaw deformities in patients with a unilateral cleft lip and palate, bilateral cleft lip and palate, and isolated cleft palate.
- Identify special considerations of orthognathic surgery in the cleft lip and palate patient.
- Compare various bone grafting techniques during orthognathic surgery in the cleft patient.
