Abstract

Background: The goal of palatoplasty is to achieve normal maxillofacial growth, normal speech, and prevent hearing loss. Disturbance of maxillary growth may occur in cleft lip palate patients after palatoplasty. To determine how many patients later developed a disrupted maxillary growth following operations, a retrospective study was designed to evaluate patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who have undergone two-flap palatoplasty.Methods:A retrospective analytic study evaluated the maxillary growth of 15 consecutive unilateral cleft lip and palate patient aged around 8-year-old treated in the Division of Plastic Surgery Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. Cephalogram and dental study models were used to assess growth. Cleft lip and palate repair were performed to all patients without alveolar bone graft or any orthodontic treatment. Result: The cephalogram shows that 53,3% of the patients developed maxillary hypoplasia post palatoplasty. Mean value of the Goslon Yardstick was 3,53 (intermediate category by Goslon criteria).No patient fell into the Goslon 1 or 5 categories. Discussion: Disturbed maxillary growth is postulated to be caused by the manipulation and suturing of the maxillary vomer, and scarring of the dentoalveoli post-surgery. Another contributing factor is the intrinsic tissue deficiency. Conclusion: Maxillary hypoplasia is a possible complication following two !ap palatopasty, affecting either anteroposterior, transversal and vertical maxillary growth. This finding needs to be proven especially after the process of growth ceased. It is highly probable that maxillary disruption is higher when the two flap palatoplasty technique leaves lateral areas of denuded bone on the maxillary tuberosity.

Abstract

Background:Honey has positive effects on wound healing due to its properties to decrease inflammatory reaction, assist wound debridement, lessen wound odor, help moisturize the wound, promote wound healing and has antibacterial effect. In this research we try to confirm the benefit of using Indonesian local honey by comparing its efficacy with Manuka honey, which is already known yet still costly and not readily available in Indonesia.Methods: Two kinds of honey above were compared for its physical and chemical properties of antibacterial effects and safety, its acidity (pH) using pH meter, osmotic pressure with indirect measurement using hygroscope and hydrogen peroxide concentration using hydrogen peroxide strip test, also for its bacterial contents using standardized microbiological culture.Results: The measurements of the water activity, pH level,production of hydrogen peroxide, also the bacterial content, showed that there is no significant difference between the manuka honey and the local ones.Discussion: Both of the honey pH levels are still within the normal range of honey pH level (3.5-4.5) which still have the antibacterial properties to inhibit bacterial growth. Both of the honey water activity level are still within the normal range of honey water activity level (0.500–0.650) which still have the antibacterial properties to inhibit bacterial growth. Manuka honey has been known as non peroxide honey that didn’t produce any hydrogen peroxide.Conclusion:Indonesian local honey which has been used in this research has a similar physical–chemical characteristic as Manuka honey; making it a very good alternative source of medicinal honey because of its affordability and availability.
