TI  - Evaluation of a Digital Protocol for Pre-Surgical Orthopedic Treatment of Cleft 
      Lip and Palate in Newborn Patients: A Pilot Study.

AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, invasiveness and impact on 
      clinical results of a digital oral impression protocol in the pre-surgical 
      orthopedic treatment (PSOT) of newborn cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients 
      undergoing primary alveolar surgical repair. Six patients were divided, according 
      to impression technique used, into a digital (intraoral scanner (IOS)) and a 
      non-digital (tray and putty (T&P)) group. Parents considered IOS impressions to 
      be less invasive, compared to T&P impressions. The clinician that took all the 
      impressions considered the IOS to be less stressful compared to the T&P method. 
      In two T&P patients, the impression was repeated because some important 
      anatomical details were missing, in one case due to patient regurgitation during 
      the first attempt. No impression was repeated, and any adverse event was reported 
      in the IOS group. There were no significant differences between these two 
      protocols in pre-surgical alveolar gap reduction and surgical challenge. The 
      study results indicate that this digital protocol can accelerate the production 
      process of the passive molding plate with an instantaneous transmission of the 
      digital impression to the dental lab, maintaining the same accuracy level and 
      clinical outcomes of classical techniques and reducing the invasiveness of 
      impression taking, avoiding any risk of impression material ingestion or 
      inhalation.
