  • Title: Stabilization of a mobile premaxilla by cementing a bite splint with 1-stage bilateral alveolar bone grafting.
    Author: Oyama T, Yoshimura Y, Onoda M, Hosokawa K, Kanomi R.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2008 Nov; 19(6):1705-7. PubMed ID: 19098589.
    Abstract:
    This study describes a method for stabilizing maxillary segments by performing bilateral alveolar bone grafting with an acrylic splint with a flat undersurface to reduce the occlusal pressure to the premaxilla. After premaxilla repositioning and bilateral alveolar bone grafting, the splint was attached to the maxillary teeth with glass ionomer cement. In 6 bilateral cleft cases, premaxilla repositioning and bilateral alveolar bone grafting were performed in 1-stage manner, and successful results were obtained. This easy and cost-effective procedure enabled rigid fixation of the insecure premaxilla with no complications during the treatment period.
