Objective To evaluate the prevalence of palatal and alveolar cysts in babies with cleft lip and/or palate. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP), Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. Participants Two hundred ninety-one Caucasian babies divided into four groups according to the type of cleft: cleft lip with or without cleft alveolus (70), complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (112), complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (56), and cleft palate (53). Results A low prevalence of palatal and alveolar cysts was observed among patients with the four different types of clefts, with no statistically significant difference between genders. The maxilla and the anterior area of the mouth were more affected than the mandible and the posterior area. Conclusions The low prevalence of palatal and alveolar cysts in the four groups of babies with clefts included in this study may have been due to the high mean age of the sample.

Objective To establish the chronology and sequence of eruption of the permanent teeth in subjects with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Design Cross-sectional. Data on children presenting complete cleft lip and palate were evaluated. Setting The study was carried out at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, Bauru, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sample The sample comprised 477 patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, aged 5 to 14 years. Of these patients, 166 were girls and 311 were boys. Results The girls presented, for all maxillary and mandibular teeth, a smaller mean age of eruption than the boys. The maxillary lateral incisor and cuspid adjacent to the cleft presented significantly higher mean ages of eruption than their homologous teeth on the noncleft side.

Enamel Defects

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of enamel alterations affecting the deciduous and permanent central maxillary incisors of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate and to verify their characteristics. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies–University of São Paulo, Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. Patients A sample of 90 patients attending the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, presenting with complete cleft lip and palate, of both genders, ages 2 to 11 years old. Methodology The buccal surfaces of the maxillary central incisors of patients were analyzed for observation of the presence of enamel defects, their type, number, and location. The prevalence of defects was compared between deciduous and permanent teeth and between the incisors at the cleft and noncleft sides. Results There was a higher frequency of defects among incisors on the cleft side for both deciduous and permanent dentitions compared with the noncleft side (p < .05); the permanent central incisor was more frequently affected than the deciduous. Evaluation of the types of defects for both incisors in both dentitions demonstrated a homogeneous distribution, except for a lower proportion of yellow opacity in the permanent dentition on the cleft side. In general, the most affected area in all dentitions was the incisal third. Conclusion The prevalence of enamel alterations affecting incisors adjacent to the cleft was higher than for incisors on the noncleft side. This difference also was present in the permanent dentition.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of upper cervical vertebrae anomalies in patients with isolated cleft lip, isolated cleft palate, and complete cleft lip and palate, as well as to compare the prevalence of these anomalies between groups, between genders, and with noncleft patients. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study of randomly selected patients. Setting: Radiology Section, Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies and Department of Orthodontics, Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. Participants: The sample comprised 300 lateral cephalograms of cleft patients, aged 12 to 13 years, of both genders, from the files of the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies–University of São Paulo and 300 lateral cephalograms from noncleft patients of the Department of Orthodontics, Bauru School of Dentistry. Cephalograms of patients with syndromes were not included. Method: Radiographs were interpreted on a film viewer by a single examiner; the profiles of vertebrae were traced on acetate paper, and cervical vertebrae anomalies were registered and categorized into posterior arch deficiencies, fusion, and association of both. Main Outcome Measures: Statistical comparison of groups using the chi-square test. Results: In the cleft group, 38.67% of the patients had cervical vertebrae anomalies. Of those in the noncleft sample, 31% showed anomalies of the cervical spine. This difference was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference when the types of clefts were compared with each other or when both genders were compared in both samples. Conclusions: This study confirms the association between clefts and cervical anomalies. Additional research on this topic is necessary.

Objective The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of ectopic eruption of intranasal teeth. Design This was a retrospective study, where records of children with repaired cleft lip and palate were analyzed. Setting The study was conducted at a large craniofacial center, the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, USP, Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. Subjects The sample consisted of 815 records from patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) and 1495 records from patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). The age of the subjects was 5 to 10 years old and the groups included both males and females. Results The results showed that 0.61% of the children with BCLP and 0.40% of those with UCLP had an intranasal tooth. The prevalence of an intranasal tooth for the whole group was 0.48%, and it appeared to be more common in females.

Objective: To assess the orthodontic burden of care of patients from a Brazilian rehabilitation center (Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo [HRAC-USP]). Design: Retrospective. Setting: Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo. Interventions: One hundred files of unilateral complete cleft lip and palate patients who had consecutively finished orthodontic rehabilitation at HRAC-USP were evaluated from January 2011 to January 2013. The duration of orthodontic treatment, number of visits, kilometers traveled, number of appliances and surgical procedures performed were recorded. The sample was divided into 2 subgroups according to severity the interarch relation (Goslon Yardstick score) at the beginning of orthodontic treatment. Mann-Whitney test was applied for intergroup comparison ( P < .05). Results: For the total sample (n = 100), the mean time of orthodontic treatment was 140.2 months, the mean number of orthodontic appointments was 61.8, the mean number of appliances was 10, the mean number of surgical procedures was 6.2, and the mean distance traveled to attend the center for orthodontic appointments was 38,978.5 km. The subgroup with the most severe malocclusion (Goslon yardsticks scores 4 and 5) showed a longer orthodontic treatment length, greater number of surgical procedures, and longer distance traveled than those presenting Goslon yardstick scores 1, 2, and 3. Conclusion: Patients with greater severity of the initial malocclusion experienced a higher burden of care than patients with less severity of the initial malocclusion. To reduce the burden of care, research and efforts should focus on minimizing maxillary growth deficiency related to primary surgery.

Objective: To evaluate whether teeth close to the cleft area present higher prevalence and severity of periodontal disease than teeth in other regions. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo. Patients: There were 400 individuals with complete unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate, aged 15 to 49 years, without any previous periodontal treatment. Main Outcome Measures: All clinical parameters were evaluated in six sites for each tooth. The arithmetic means were calculated for each sextant. Results: Of the sextants, 86.75% presented means of probing depth smaller than or equal to 3 mm. No sextant exhibited means of probing depth greater than or equal to 6 mm. There was a statistically significant difference (p < .001) in probing depth according to age, types of cleft, and sextant; 95.87% of sextants presented mean attachment levels smaller than or equal to 3 mm. The sextant with cleft did not present higher means of probing depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, and gingival index. There was gingival bleeding in 99.08% of the sample and plaque in 97.40%. The type of cleft was not an important factor influencing the prevalence of periodontal disease. Age seems to be an important factor influencing the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease for all aspects investigated. Conclusions: Periodontal disease in individuals with clefts occurred in a similar manner as observed in other populations. The presence of the cleft does not seem to increase the prevalence of the disease.

Objective: To radiographically evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in patients with complete and incomplete bilateral cleft lip, comparing the prevalence of anomalies between genders and cleft types. Setting: Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP), Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. Participants: 150 randomly selected panoramic radiographs of individuals with complete or incomplete bilateral cleft lip; patient age 12 to 25 years (mean age 13.8 years). Results: Data were statistically analyzed to compare the possible association between presence of hypodontia and supernumerary teeth, according to gender and cleft type. Among the 150 patients evaluated, 80 (53.3%) were male and 70 (46.6%) were female. Since no statistically significant difference was found in hypodontia between genders, data were grouped for analysis, revealing prevalence of 31.6% for complete clefts and 26.8% for incomplete clefts. Concerning supernumerary teeth, the prevalence for the male patients was 28.2% for complete cleft lip and 29.2% for incomplete cleft lip. For female patients, the prevalence was significantly (p  =  .006) lower for complete cleft lip (17.5%) than for incomplete cleft lip (46.6%). Conclusions: The present results suggest that the prevalence of hypodontia was higher in patients with complete cleft lip, and the prevalence of supernumerary teeth was higher in patients with incomplete cleft lip, in agreement with previous studies.

Objective To determine the chronology and sequence of eruption of the deciduous teeth in children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of Sao Paulo, Bauru, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sample A total of 435 children aged 0 to 48 months who presented with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Results All teeth on the cleft side in both jaws for both sexes presented a higher mean age of eruption than their homologues at the noncleft side. This difference was statistically significant for the maxillary lateral incisor, maxillary cuspid, and mandibular lateral incisor. There was a statistically significant sex difference regarding the mean age of eruption only for the maxillary second molar for the girls and mandibular cuspid for the boys. The maxillary lateral incisor on the cleft side was the last tooth to erupt, thus modifying the sequence of eruption of the deciduous teeth. Conclusions The results suggest the interference of the cleft on the chronology of eruption of the deciduous teeth that are directly related to it.

Language Sample Analysis

Objectives: Cleft Palate (CP) with or without Cleft Lip (CL/P) are the most common craniofacial birth defects. Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) can affect children’s communication skills. The present study aimed to evaluate language production skills concerning morphology and syntax (morphosyntactic) in children with CLP. Methods: In the current cross-sectional study, 58 Persian-speaking children (28 children with CLP & 30 children without craniofacial anomalies=non-clefts) participated. Gathering the language samples of the children was conducted using the picture description method. The 50 consecutive intelligible utterances of children were analyzed by the Persian Developmental Sentence Scoring (PDSS), as a clinical morphosyntactic measurement tool. Results: The PDSS total scores of children with CLP were lower than those of the non-clefts children. A significant difference was found between the studied children with CLP and children without craniofacial anomalies in the mean value of PDSS total scores (P=0.0001). Discussion: Children with CLP demonstrate a poor ability for using morphosyntactic elements. Therefore, it should be considered how children with CLP use the grammatical components.
