Dental Anomalies

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 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.

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: Children with cleft lip and palate are reported to be commonly associated with higher prevalence of dental anomalies such as hypodontia, supernumeraries, and abnormalities in tooth size, shape, and position. This study investigated the prevalence of dental anomalies in a longitudinal cohort of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Design: The study was a retrospective analysis of radiographs, study models, and treatment notes. Patients: Sixty patients with repaired UCLP aged 13 years old with complete dental records dating from 5 years of age were included. Methods: Study casts, dental panoramic, anterior maxillary occlusal, and periapical radiographs of the patients were examined for cleft-sidedness, congenitally missing permanent teeth, supernumerary teeth, microdontic, and macrodontic teeth in the anterior maxillary region, presence of malformed permanent cleft-sided lateral incisor and its morphology (peg-shaped, conical shaped, canine-formed), positions of the permanent lateral incisors relative to the cleft side and presence of rotated cleft-sided central incisors. Results: Of the 60 patients studied, 63.3% had hypodontia, 21.7% had supernumerary teeth, 69.6% had microdontia, and 12.5% had macrodontia. All of the cleft-sided permanent lateral incisors had associated anomalies, with a large proportion (43.1%) missing; and when present in 31 subjects, the majority (90.3%) was positioned distal to the cleft. Most of the cleft-sided permanent central incisors were rotated if present, and prevalent at 86.7%. Conclusion: A high prevalence of dental anomalies was observed in this sample of children with UCLP.

The incidence of dental abnormalities in the cleft lip and palate population has been reported to be much higher than in the normal population. The role of genes in the production of a cleft lip and palate, and dental anomalies is thought to be complex, with autosomal dominant, recessive, and x-linked genes all playing a role. Noncleft parents can carry some of the cleft lip and palate genes, which produce clinically subtle manifestations in their facial skeleton. The purpose of this study was to look for evidence of increased dental anomalies in the non-cleft parents of cleft lip and palate children. The dentitions of the parents of 60 children with different types of cleft lip and palate were examined prospectively to see whether or not they exhibited features found more readily in the cleft lip and palate rather than did the normal population. Their dentitions were studied to record the following dental features: congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, or morphologic changes of the crowns of the permanent teeth. The number and position of any frenal attachments were also recorded. The results of this study did not show any differences in incidence of dental anomalies from the noncleft population. There was no evidence to support the hypothesis that congenital absence of lateral incisors is a microform of cleft lip and palate. Further, these results also failed to reveal any consistent pattern in the number and position of frenal attachments.

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.

Background: In low- and middle-income countries, poor access to care can result in delayed surgical repair of orofacial clefts leading to poor functional outcomes. Even in Brazil, an upper middle-income country with free comprehensive cleft care, delayed repair of orofacial clefts commonly occurs. This study aims to assess patient-perceived barriers to cleft care at a referral center in São Paulo. Methods: A 29-item questionnaire assessing the barriers to care was administered to 101 consecutive patients (or their guardians) undergoing orofacial cleft surgery in the Plastic Surgery Department in Hospital das Clínicas, in São Paulo, Brazil, between February 2016 and January 2017. Results: A total of 54.4% of patients had their first surgery beyond the recommended time frame of 6 months for a cleft lip or cleft lip and palate and 18 months for a cleft palate. There was a greater proportion of isolated cleft palates in the delayed group (66.7% vs 33.3%). Almost all patients had a timely diagnosis, but delays occurred from diagnosis to repair. The mean number of barriers reported for each patient was 3.8. The most frequently cited barriers related to lack of access to care include (1) lack of hospitals available to perform the surgery (54%) and (2) lack of availability of doctors (51%). Conclusion: Delays from diagnosis to treatment result in patients receiving delayed primary repairs. The commonest patient-perceived barriers are related to a lack of access to cleft care, which may represent a lack of awareness of available services.

Oral Clefts

Objective To assess whether individuals born with nonsyndromic oral clefts display a higher frequency of dental anomalies. Design A search of MEDLINE, BIREME, OVID ALL EMB Reviews, and The Cochrane Library was conducted. The methodologic quality of the papers selected was assessed and scored. Papers reporting observational controlled studies of nonsyndromic forms of oral cleft matched for dental anomalies in primary and/or permanent teeth were included without language restrictions. Eligible studies were scored as “A”—low risk of bias, “B”—moderate risk of bias, or “C”—high risk of bias and poor quality. Fixed and random effects models were used to aggregate individual odds ratios (OR) and to derive pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Results Six studies fulfilled our selection criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Three distinct subgroup analyses were carried out in terms of dental anomalies. In the tooth agenesis meta-analysis, a random effects model was used because of heterogeneity and showed a significant association between tooth agenesis and oral clefts (OR = 12.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.75 to 40.36). In the remaining analyses, the fixed effects model revealed a positive association between supernumerary (OR = 4.99; 95% CI, 2.58 to 9.64) and crown morphologic abnormalities (OR = 5.69; 95% CI, 3.96 to 8.19) with oral clefts. Most included studies were of low to moderate quality. Conclusion Although general limitations in study design were observed, the evidence suggests that a higher number of dental anomalies in the permanent dentition are noted in individuals born with oral clefts.

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.

Family with children affected by genetic factors or teratogenics involving functional, aesthetic and psychological sequels such as cleft lip and palate are vulnerable to several stress levels and need corrective and rehabilitation interventions. This study aimed to investigate the stress levels of fathers and mothers before and after surgical intervention in children with cleft lip and palate. The participants were 14 parents of children diagnosed with Cleft Incisive Transforamen Unilateral and Bilateral Incisive Transforamen of both genders, 21-53 participants of the surgical intervention program at the Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais, Universidade de São Paulo in the city of Bauru, State of São Paulo. The results have allowed us to conclude that the people responsible for patients, patients and parents of the patients with cleft palatal lip, in surgical situation, present higher levels of stress in the period of pre-surgery, with modified quality in the autonomic aspects of the organism, besides bodily significantly unsatisfactory reactions.
