Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dental caries in patients with cleft lip and/or palate and their cleft-free sibling controls. Methods: The two subject groups (patient and control) comprised 106 participants. The former group consisted of 53 patients with cleft lip and/or palate, aged 12 to 29 years, who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital at Damascus University of Syria. The control group consisted of the patients’ siblings who had no clefts, and they were sex matched to the patient group. Dental caries were examined clinically and were reported using the decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index. The DMFT scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The author found an overall association of dental caries with the presence of cleft lip and/or palate (odds ratio  =  2.52; 95% confidence interval  =  1.389–4.574; p < .05). The DMFT index scores were proportionally higher in patients with cleft lip and/or palate compared with the control group (p < .001). Conclusion: Subjects with cleft lip and palate are susceptible to dental caries independently of socioeconomic status.

This chapter contains eight clinical vivas on the subject of cleft surgery. This will provide candidates sitting the vivas component of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery FRCS examination with practical knowledge in the assessment and treatment of presentations such as cleft lip and palate as well as modalities of treatment including types of cleft lip repair. It will also provide insight for clinicians in allied specialties, such as otolaryngology and plastic surgery, in how to engage in a debate with a senior clinician in the contemporary management of such complex cases.

Congenital Cleft

Thing. Studying the frequency of birth of children with congenital malformations in a city with a petrochemical industry. The goal is to identify the effect of industrial emissions from enterprises in Ufa on the frequency of birth of children with congenital cleft lip and palate. Methodology. In the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital from 1985 to 2019, the medical documentation of children born in the city with a petrochemical industry with a cleft lip and palate was studied. Results. In industrial areas of Ufa, the average rate of birth of children with clefts is 3.65 ± 0.31 (Kalininsky) and 2.34 ± 0.29 (Ordzhonikidzevsky). According to our studies, it was found that in the industrial zone, the frequency of birth of children with congenital facial pathology is significantly higher than in environmentally safe areas, and ranges from 1: 282 (3.5) in the Kalinin industrial northern region to 1:859 (1.1) in the southernmost, ecologically safe Demsky district (p<0.01). On the whole, in Ufa, the average rates of the birth rate of children with congenital cleft lip and palate were 1:454 (2.204 ± 0.11). Conclusions. The correlation between the value of gross emissions of harmful substances into the atmospheric air and the frequency of congenital cleft lip and palate in the zone with emissions of 135,114―180,120 tons per year, then in the zone with the amount of emissions of 20,000―135,114 tons per year, and the frequency in the zone with emissions of 11,000 is less ― 20,000 tons per year. The average birth rates for children with ARVH in the cities of the Republic of Bashkortostan were per 1000 children born: in cities with NHP ― 2.44; in cities without NHP ― 1.13. The frequency of birth of children with ADV in cities with NHP is more than 2 times higher than the frequency of birth of children with ADV in cities without NHP (p <0.001).

Mixed Stage

Objective This investigation evaluated the results of alveolar bone grafting in patients with complete clefts, comparing secondary alveolar bone grafting (during the mixed stage of dentition) versus tertiary bone grafting (after completion of the second stage of dentition). Design This was a retrospective study. Of 140 osteoplasties, which all were operated according to the same standardized surgical technique, a clinical and roentgenological follow-up investigation was carried out in a collective of 85 osteoplasties. Clinically we searched for oronasal fistulae, assessed the periodontal status, determined the extent of the gingival attachment in the area of the osteoplasty, and searched for vertical growth disturbances in the area of the osteoplasty. Roentgenologically the height of the alveolar bone in the former clefted area was ascertained. Setting Records were obtained from a clinical and radiological study of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Medical University of Hannover (Germany). Interventions All patients were operated with the same standardized surgical method. The osteoplastic bridging of the alveolar cleft was performed via a vestibular gingival marginal incision and exclusively by grafting of cancellous bone from the iliac crest. Results The best results of alveolar bone grafting in cases of secondary osteoplasty were obtained when the lateral incisor or canine had grown into the transplant and had led to a functional stress of the transplanted bone. Approximately good results were to be found in tertiary osteoplasty when the transplanted bone had been stressed functionally through a dental implant. Comparing the secondary with the tertiary osteoplasty, there was a trend of lower resorption in secondary osteoplasty. Conclusions Secondary osteoplasty should represent an integral component of any concept for the comprehensive treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate.

The Impact

Objective: Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a high-risk specialty involving airway and aerosol-generating procedures, which is potentially of more risk in the era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to identify the impact of COVID-19 on the disease pattern of OMFS inpatients and surgeries under general anesthesia in a comparative study.Materials and Methods: We reviewed the admission and operating theater records of OMFS patients from Jan 1 to Aug 31 in 2020 and 2019. The total number of cases, presenting disease patterns, and proportion of essential and non-essential medical services were compared between 2020 and 2019.Results: There were 664 admissions and 356 general anesthesia surgical procedures included in this study. Both admission and surgery numbers were significantly reduced in 2020, compared with 2019 (p = 0.012 and 0.007, respectively). The proportion of malignancy cases increased significantly, whereas that of cleft lip and palate and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) decreased. There was a significant increase in the proportion of essential services compared with non-essential services in 2020 compared with 2019.Conclusion: Our results first reported the epidemiological data of the impact of COVID-19 on OMFS disease pattern in a comparative study. The change of disease pattern and caseload will have a long-term impact on OMFS patient care, education, and training during the pandemic. Our paper provides evidence for health policy makers to consider the relocation of medical resources and optimization of medical education and services.

Nasal Resonance

Objectives Mean nasalance in speakers with perceptually normal nasal resonance can differ in magnitude considerably. In addition, categorizations of speech based on nasalance scores may not agree with perceptual judgments. To overcome this limitation, we evaluated two new simple measures derived from mean nasalance data: the nasalance distance (range between maximum and minimum nasalance) and the nasalance ratio (minimum nasalance divided by maximum nasalance). Setting Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Technology, Munich, Germany. Subjects The sample consisted of 133 cleft lip and palate patients with normal nasal resonance or varying degrees of hypernasality. Procedures Oral and nasal acoustic measurements were made using the NasalView system. Nasalance distance and nasalance ratio were calculated for five nonnasal and three nasal sentences from the modified Heidelberg Rhinophonia Assessment Form. Results Optimum cutoffs were derived from Receiver-Operating Characteristics. Results for the sentence stimuli ranged from 64.4% to 89.6% sensitivity and from 91.2% to 94.1% specificity. When the analysis was limited to only one nonnasal and one nasal sentence, results ranged from 79.7% to 87.5% sensitivity and from 88.2% to 97.1% specificity. Conclusions We conclude that the two new measurements are valuable in routine clinical examinations. Nasalance distance and ratio derived from sentence stimuli are two useful and easily applicable measures that can be used to supplement the nasalance mean value.
