Abstract
The design features of a novel, hybrid function regulator, the FR BCPPm, are presented to facilitate the construction of other such appliances that may be used in the treatment of juveniles with a prominent premaxilla associated with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and mandibular retrusion. As an essential prerequisite to facilitate secondary alveolar bone grafting, how it may be used and the results that can be achieved are documented in a single case. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To illustrate the design features of a novel function regulator in detail, which may be used to correct a prominent premaxilla in a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
