Abstract:
To describe the long-term treatment course of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) and evaluate orthognathic surgical indications after BAMP.
Abstract:
Retrospective case series.
Abstract:
Craniofacial/Cleft Palate Program at the Orthopaedic Institute for Children in Los Angeles, CA.
Abstract:
Twelve male patients with cleft palate (CP), unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), or bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) and Class III malocclusion treated with BAMP (mean age: 11.4 ± 2.6 years) were included.
Abstract:
BAMP treatment was performed by placement of bone-anchored maxillary and mandibular plates connected with intraoral Class III dental elastics or maxillary plates connected to a facemask.
Abstract:
We retrospectively assessed BAMP treatment variables, including age at surgery, revision surgeries, and treatment duration. The primary goal was correction to class I occlusion.
Abstract:
Twelve patients underwent BAMP treatment for an average of 4.4 ± 2.4 years. Two patients were corrected to class I occlusion at the time of this report. Le Fort I advancement was no longer required in two patients (16.7%), it was required for nine patients (75.0%) and was completed for one patient following BAMP treatment (8.3%).
Abstract:
This preliminary report demonstrated that BAMP treatment may be associated with a minimal reduction in the requirement for Le Fort I advancement at skeletal maturity. Future studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm this association.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
