The Selective Grinding Prosthetic Feeding Aid (PFA) Frequency Influence towards Cleft Distance and Premaxilla Angle of Infants with Unilateral Complete Cleft Lip and Palate

The purpose of the research is to analyze the selective grinding frequency influence towards cleft distance and premaxilla angle of infant with unilateral complete and cleft lip palate with the use of Prosthetic Feeding Aid (PFA). Method 10 infant with unilateral complete and cleft lip palate with wide alveolar cleft and premaxilla rotate position installed with PFA. Impression is done twice to each subject before and after PFA care. Pictures taken from each work model results. Tracing was made on sample pictures that was taken using the assigned postulate spots PhotoQuad program. Adjustment towards the device is done twice a week using selective grinding to the acrylic anatomy surface on the palatolateral major detector and anteromedial minor defect and relining soft liner process on the labial surface. Anatomy surface selective grinding is not exceed 1-1.5 mm on every visit. The analyze of the linkage between selective grinding frequency PFA with cleft distance and premaxilla angle using linkage test by counting person correlation coefficient. Result the linkage analysis between selective grinding prosthetic feeding aid frequency with cleft distance premaxilla angle of infant with unilateral complete and cleft lip palate is there are positive linkage correlation in the amount of 41 % or r = 0.641 that is not statistically significant with t-count = 2, 36 or p value = 0, 046 less than 0, 05. The linkage analysis between selective grinding prosthetic feeding aid frequency with infant with unilateral complete and cleft lip and palate is there are positive linkage correlation in the amount of 23 % or r = 0.479 that is not statistically significant with t-count = 1.544 or p value =0.1611. Conclusion the more frequent of the selective grinding prosthetic feeding aid, the smaller the cleft distance and premaxila angle
