RESUMENIntroducciónEl labio y paladar hendidos es la malformación craneofacial más común en la población mundial, causando un gran impacto en la sociedad porque compromete tanto la parte estética como funcional. La ortopedia prequirúrgica es un tratamiento que interviene en edades tempranas para la disminución de las secuelas de esta anomalía.ObjetivoDescribir dos casos de pacientes de género masculino recién nacidos con diagnóstico de labio y paladar hendidos unilateral y bilateral completo a quienes se les realizó tratamiento temprano con ortopedia prequirúrgica.MétodosSe utilizó inicialmente placa estimuladora de Friedman para afrontar los procesos alveolares a menos de 5mm, para continuar posteriormente con la conformación de las alas nasales que se encontraron deprimidas.ResultadosSe cerraron las fisuras alveolares completamente en ambos casos, se estimuló el cierre de la fisura del paladar, además de elongar la columnela, aumentar el tamaño de la ventana de la nariz que se encontró deprimida y se logró la tonicidad muscular perioral adecuada para mejorar los resultados de la queiloplastia.ConclusionesEl tratamiento temprano prequirúrgico en los pacientes recién nacidos con labio y paladar hendidos, es una alternativa exitosa en el cierre de la fisura labio alveolopalatina, con la ayuda de un operador habilidoso y unos padres comprometidos con el tratamiento.ABSTRACTIntroductionCleft lip and palate is the most common craniofacial malformation of the world's population, causing a great impact on society since it compromises both aesthetics and function. Presurgical orthopedic treatment at an early age limits the consequences of this anomaly.ObjectiveTo describe two cases of male newborn patients diagnosed with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate that underwent early pre-surgical orthopedic treatment.MethodsInitially Friedman's stimulation plate was used to confront the alveolar ridges less than 5mm to continue subsequently with the formation of the nasal wings which were depressed.ResultsThe alveolar fissures were closed completely in both cases in addition to lengthening the columella, increasing the size of the depressed nostril, as well as improving the perioral muscle tone thus enhancing the results of the cheiloplasty.ConclusionsEarly preoperative treatment in infant patients with cleft lip and palate is a successful alternative for achieving closure of lip-alveolar-palatal clefts, with the aid of a skilled operator and committed to treatment parents.
