The autors of this text intend to present the results of RB stimulator
application, without the extra-oral fixation, in the treatment of
unilateral, complete primary and secondary cleft palate on the left
side. A special aspect of this therapy is the period proceding the
eruption of deciduous teeth, because of hardened retention of the
stimulator in the mouth. The autors wished to avoid the retention of the
appliance by using the already customary cap on the head metal
extensions coming out of the stimulator. Acta Medica Medianae 2003;
42(4):69-73.
