Objective Because of significant differences in pathomorphology at birth, it may be that a better treatment outcome prognosis exists for patients with incomplete versus complete cleft forms. Can reaction patterns be extracted from changes in maxillary dimensions of different cleft forms within the first year of life to support this hypothesis? Subjects Chronologically consecutive casts of the maxilla (1 week and 3, 6, and 12 months of life) of 15 patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (cUCLP) and 13 patients with incomplete unilateral cleft lip and palate (iUCLP). All patients were treated with passive palatal plates. Cheiloplasty was performed at 6 months of age. No primary osteoplastic surgery was carried out. Interventions Following digitizing with a three-dimensional laser scanner, all cast surfaces were computer reconstructed, aligned, and superimposed. Distances between the surfaces were determined and expressed graphically. Computer-aided determination of defined maxillary dimensions was performed. The volumes of segmented surfaces were determined and compared. Results Within the first year of life, decreased sagittal but increased transverse alveolar growth for patients with iUCLP was found. The increase in alveolar crest length in patients with iUCLP was 50% less within the first year of life than in patients with cUCLP. In the same patients, the volumes of the molar segments were, on average, larger at each registration stage and the increase in these volumes larger within the first year of life. Conclusion Conclusions regarding the direction and extent of growth cannot be drawn from the visible level of severity of the malformation.

Treating chronic bone infection is challenging, requiring complete excision of the affected areas and antimicrobial therapy. Acquiring active concentrations of antibiotics is difficult, as well as filling up bone defects resulting from sequestrectomy, and very few methods of treatment address both issues simultaneously. The authors describe the clinical results after using Collatamp G, a collagen-based, antibiotic filled sponge with two actions: local delivery of high antibiotic doses without systemic side effects and enhancement of healing due to collagen, thus covering the bone defect without any further osteoplastic surgery. This paper thus identifies Collatamp G as a biomaterial able to solve the above mentioned problems in treating bone infections.Keywords: bone infections, collagen matrix, gentamicine, antibiotic delivery
