Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Nasal Changes Affected by Different Alar Base Suture Techniques After Maxillary LeFort I Osteotomy (NCT NCT01473745)

NCT ID: NCT01473745

Last Updated: 2014-11-04

Results Overview

The investigator measured the movement (1 month minus baseline) of hard tissue landmarks before and after 4-6 weeks maxillary LeFort I osteotomy. The movement (6 months minus baseline) of soft tissue landmarks was measured before and after 6 months of the maxillary LeFort I osteotomy. The 3D directional movement of each point was measured in the x(transverse), y(vertical), and z (antero-posterior)planes. The positive directional movement of each point in X axis means the point moved left after surgery, and negative directional movement in X axis means the the point moved right after surgery. The positive directional movement in Y axis means the point moved upward after surgery, and negative directional movement in Y axis means the the point moved downward after surgery. The positive directional movement in Z axis means the point moved anteriorly after surgery, and negative directional movement in Z axis means the the point moved posteriorly after surgery.

Participant Flow

All nongrowing Taiwanese patients over 18 years of age who underwent LeFort I maxillary osteotomy to correct skeletal discrepancies were randomly selected to receive either conventional or modified alar base cinching during the intraoral wound closing procedure.The recruitment duration was September of 2011 to February of 2013.

Exclusion criteria: Patients with an associated syndromic diagnosis, cleft of the lip or palate, dentofacial trauma, and previous nasal septum or nasal tip operations. 10 non-Class III patients were further excluded for enhanced sample consistency, 2 patients refused to participate were also excluded. Thus, total sample size was 48 patients.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The hard tissue movements were assessed after surgery 4-6 weeks.The soft tissue movements were assessed after surgery 6 months.

Population: similar sex distribution in both groups (7 male and 17 female patients in Group C, and 8 male and 16 female patients in Group M)

The investigator measured the movement (1 month minus baseline) of hard tissue landmarks before and after 4-6 weeks maxillary LeFort I osteotomy. The movement (6 months minus baseline) of soft tissue landmarks was measured before and after 6 months of the maxillary LeFort I osteotomy. The 3D directional movement of each point was measured in the x(transverse), y(vertical), and z (antero-posterior)planes. The positive directional movement of each point in X axis means the point moved left after surgery, and negative directional movement in X axis means the the point moved right after surgery. The positive directional movement in Y axis means the point moved upward after surgery, and negative directional movement in Y axis means the the point moved downward after surgery. The positive directional movement in Z axis means the point moved anteriorly after surgery, and negative directional movement in Z axis means the the point moved posteriorly after surgery.
