| Research Abstract |
The pharmaceutical modulation may reduce unfavorable effects of scarring after cleft palate surgery by the push-back method. This study investigated the effects of local bFGF administration immediately after mucoperiosteal denudation of rat palates on apoptosis in myofibroblasts, collagen changes and dento-alveolar growth during the wound healing. The results showed that bFGF induces rapid reductions in myofibroblasts, suppresses collagen typeIand elastic system fibers generation, and relieves dental arch constriction in the wound healing process after mucoperiosteal denudation of rat palates. These findings suggest that bFGF has the potential to reduce maxillary growth inhibition after cleft palate surgery by modulating the palatal wound healing process.
