Predominant Factor

Cleft lip and palate is the most frequent congenital oral dysmophosis (1/600 births). They can be associated with polyformative syndromes. The aetiology is most often unknown, but heredity is still a predominant factor. These clefts result from an absence or insufficient fusion of the different facial buds occurring from the fifth to the 7th week of intrauterine life. They can have several forms. The treatment of cleft lip and palate requires multidisciplinary management. When orthodontics is lacking, the prosthesis takes over. Combined with maxillofacial surgery, the results are spectacular.

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.

Prospective Longitudinal

Objective To investigate the effects of infant orthopedic treatment and lip adhesion on maxillary growth of patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Design Prospective longitudinal study. Setting The present study was conducted at the Cleft Lip and Palate Center, Harapan Kita Children and Maternity Hospital, Indonesia, and the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kyushu University Hospital, Japan. Subjects The study sample consisted of 53 patients with complete BCLP and 10 noncleft patients with other diseases. Patients with BCLP were divided into three groups: H (-), 11 patients treated without Hotz's plate; H (+), 24 treated with Hotz's plate; and LA-H, 18 treated with lip adhesion and Hotz's plate. Methods Serial dental casts were obtained from each BCLP child at the following four time points: first visit, labioplasty, palatoplasty, and 5 years of age. Each maxillary dental cast was scanned, and the linear and angular dimensions were measured. Results and Conclusion Lip adhesion showed a temporary negative effect. In all patients with BCLP, the surgeries affected the growth of the anterior arch width until the age of 5 years. Collapse of the premaxilla following labioplasty in the H (-) group affected the growth of dental arch length until the age of 5 years. Treatment using Hotz's plate prevented collapse of the premaxilla, and the growth of the arch length was comparable to that observed in the noncleft group.

Subject: development of an algorithm for the rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate in a region with petrochemical ecotoxicants. Objectives: optimization of the algorithm for the rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate in the region with ecotoxicants. Methods. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of children with a diagnosis of congenital cleft lip and palate was conducted on the basis of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital in Ufa in the department of maxillofacial surgery. In the period from January 1, 1985 on December 31, 2018 were surveyed 3463 children with congenital cleft lip and palate. Results. Children born and living in the region with the petrochemical industry have a high percentage of concomitant somatic diseases and deviations from the norm in blood tests. An algorithm was developed for the rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate in the region with petrochemical ecotoxicants, optimized by including a toxicologist, anesthesiologist, immunologist, otorhinolaryngologist, gastroenterologist, and endocrinologist in the algorithm of consultation and treatment. The algorithm is aimed at improving the health of the child by increasing the effectiveness of prevention and treatment of somatic diseases in the preoperative period. Conclusions. The proposed algorithm for the rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate has been developed taking into account the adverse effects on the body of emissions into the air of large petrochemical enterprises. Children with congenital cleft lip and palate, born and living in a region with petrochemical ecotoxicants, have a high percentage of somatic diseases and contraindications to surgical treatment according to accepted terms due to the presence of comorbidities and disorders in blood tests, and need additional treatment from a toxicologist, anesthesiologist and other specialists.
