| Abstract | ||
| Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of molding effects of pre-activated appliances developed in this study in comparison with previous appliances developed by Da Silveira et al. (2003). Methods: The study was carried out on 24 participants, 12 per group, non-syndromic complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, newborn to1month infants. The working casts of both groups were scanned using CAD/CAM System and the 3D objects analyzed using Autodesk Inventor Fusion. Six measurements were assessed including cleft (widths &size), incisal point deviation, arch width (anterior &posterior) both mid and posterior palatal heights and total arch depth. Statistical comparison was determined using the SPSS program at p≤0.05. Results: The descriptive analyses and comparisons of treated samples with Da Silveira et al. versus Pre-activated technique revealed significant differences for molding effects in all measurements except for (inter-tuberosity distance) at p≤0.05. Conclusion: Modifying the molding plate by using Pre-activated appliances may reduce pre-surgical treatment visits and may improve molding effects. | ||
