    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial surgery
    • 3D imaging analysis
    • Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Cleft lip and palate (CLP) treatment often requires complex surgical interventions.
    • Quantifying craniofacial changes accurately is crucial for assessing treatment outcomes.
    • Rigid external device (RED) distraction is a technique used for maxillary advancement in CLP patients.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate patient was analyzed.
    • Preoperative (T1) and postoperative (T2) 3D data were captured using cone beam computed tomography and stereophotogrammetry.
    • Image superimposition and volumetric/linear analyses were performed using specialized software.

    Findings:

    • Significant increases in airway volume (+5250 mm³), bone (+1719 mm³), and soft tissue (+44,432 mm³) were observed.
    • Substantial linear advancements were noted in key facial landmarks, with P values <0.001.
    • The methodology demonstrated reliability and reproducibility through repeated measurements.

    Implications:

    • This study establishes a novel, standardized 3D methodology for analyzing craniofacial complex changes post-RED distraction.
    • The findings provide objective data on the efficacy of RED distraction in improving craniofacial morphology and airway dimensions.
    • This approach can be widely adopted for evaluating surgical interventions in cleft lip and palate patients.
