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.

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 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 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.

Objective This study investigated the prevalence, type, and location of enamel defects in the permanent teeth of patients with complete unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP), and compared the prevalence and characteristics of defects between CLP patients and non-CLP individuals. Methods We examined completely erupted permanent dentition, except for third molars, of CLP patients and non-CLP individuals of both sexes, 9–36 years of age, and analyzed corresponding panoramic radiographs. Two independent examiners performed clinical examinations in accordance with the Modified Developmental Defects of Enamel index. Results A total of 210 (87.9%) CLP patients and 194 (41.4%) non-CLP individuals had at least one enamel defect; these were more prevalent in the CLP group than in the non-CLP group. Upper teeth were primarily affected by enamel defects associated with the cleft; defects were most prevalent on the cleft side in CLP patients, followed by the non-cleft side in CLP patients, and then by non-CLP individuals. Conclusion Enamel defects were more common in CLP patients than in non-CLP individuals. Among CLP patients, enamel defects were more prevalent in the cleft side of the maxilla; the central incisor was the most commonly affected tooth in this quadrant.

Introdução: As anomalias de desenvolvimento dentário ocorrem devido a distúrbios que acontecem durante a formação e a diferenciação celular. Dentre as radiografias odontológicas, a panorâmica se destaca por ser um exame radiográfico mais abrangente, que auxilia no diagnóstico e no planejamento terapêutico dos processos patológicos dos dentes e dos ossos da face. Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo é determinar a prevalência de anomalias dentárias em radiografias panorâmicas de pacientes em tratamento no Centro Universitário Católica de Quixadá-CE e no Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas de Quixeramobim-CE. Métodos: A análise radiográfica foi realizada por um único pesquisador e os achados radiográficos foram escritos em uma ficha devidamente desenvolvida para este estudo. Resultados: Foram analisadas 500 radiografias panorâmicas de pacientes que possuíam entre 5 e 50 anos de idade. Desses, 67% (n=333) pertenciam ao sexo feminino e 33% (n=167) ao masculino. Foi encontrado um total de 1150 anomalias, correspondentes a: dentes não irrompidos 41,7% (n=480), giroversão 24,4% (n=281), dilaceração radicular 20,3% (n=234), microdontia 6,7% (n=77), agenesia 3,9% (n=45), dentes supranumerários 2,4% (n=28), taurodontia 0,3% (n=4) e a macrodontia 0,1% (n=1). As radiografias também foram divididas pelo tipo de arcada ocorrendo 48% (n=307) na maxila e 52% (n=330), na mandíbula. As anomalias dentárias hiperplasiantes foram encontradas em 2,9% (n=33) da amostra, as hipoplasiantes em 10,6% (n=122) e as heterotópicas em 86,5% (n=995). Desta forma conclui-se que na população estudada a maior prevalência correspondeu ao sexo feminino, à anomalia de desenvolvimento heterotópica e ao dente não irrompido.Descritores: Anormalidades Dentárias; Radiografia; Radiografia Panorâmica.ReferênciasCarneiro GV.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of the presence of a soft tissue bridge (Simonart's band) in patients with complete cleft lip and alveolus and complete cleft lip and palate. Design Cross-sectional. Sample We assessed 407 consecutive unoperated patients first attending the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of University of São Paulo, in Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil, in the year 2000. The patients were classified as presenting complete cleft of the primary palate or of the primary and secondary palate, unilateral or bilateral, as follows: unilateral cleft lip, bilateral cleft lip, unilateral cleft lip and palate, and bilateral cleft lip and palate. Method Clinical examination. The band was considered as present whenever there was a soft tissue bridge between the separated alveolar ridges, regardless of volume and position. Results were analyzed by descriptive statistics and were expressed as percentages, according to the type of cleft. Conclusion 31.2% of patients presented with Simonart's band. The band was observed more frequently in patients with unilateral clefts than in patients with bilateral clefts, and in patients with complete cleft lip and alveolus than in patients with complete cleft lip and palate.

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.
