Bilateral Cleft Lip And Palate (bilateral + cleft_lip_and_palate)
Selected AbstractsDentoalveolar reconstruction of a missing premaxilla using bone graft and endosteal implantsJOURNAL OF ORAL REHABILITATION, Issue 1 2003M. Fukuda summary We report here on a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) and a missing premaxilla, who underwent dentoalveolar reconstruction of the cleft and premaxillary alveolus using endosteal implants after bone grafting. The patient, whose maxillary incisors and premaxilla were missing, had corticocancellous bone grafting from the iliac crest, followed by excellent bone formation at the anterior alveolus. After the placement of the endosteal implants and the completion of the pre-surgical orthodontic alignment, orthognathic surgery was performed for the restoration of a Class III open bite. After post-operative orthodontic preparation, the final fixed prostheses were completed. This treatment procedure offers an option of dentoalveolar reconstruction for BCLP patients with an excised premaxilla.

Setting and Sampling Population,,, Eighteen patients with BCLA, 13 patients with BCLP, and 24 controls from remote areas of Indonesia collected over 10 years. Materials and Methods,,, Dental casts were digitized three-dimensionally using an industrial coordinate measuring machine (CCM) (Zeiss Numerex; Carl ZeissŪ, Stuttgart, Germany). Transversal distance between molars was measured on the tip of the distobuccal cusp and the tip of the mesiobuccal cusp, and for premolars and canines, the tip of the buccal cusps was recorded. Means and standard deviations were calculated for all variables. t -Test was used to determine whether the mean values of the cleft groups showed significant differences from each other and from the controls. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results,,, Transversal arch dimensions in the BCLA group were comparable to the controls except at the canine level. Intercanine distance, which is close to the alveolar cleft, was 4.3 mm (SE 1.4) smaller in the BCLA group (p = 0.002). In the BCLP group, a comparable pattern was found. At the canine level, mean transversal width was 7.2 mm (SE 1.9) smaller compared to the control group, but no significant differences were found in the other transversal dimensions. Conclusions,,, Small differences are found in transversal dimensions in patients with BCLA and BCLP compared to a control group. Differences are most outspoken in the area near the cleft.

[source] Van der Woude syndrome: dentofacial features and implications for clinical practiceAUSTRALIAN DENTAL JOURNAL, Issue 1 2010AK Lam Abstract Background:, Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is the most common clefting syndrome in humans. It is characterized by the association of congenital lower lip fistulae with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. VWS individuals have a high prevalence of hypodontia. Although caused by a single gene mutation, VWS has variable phenotypic expression. This study aimed to describe the range of clinical presentations in 22 individuals with VWS to facilitate its diagnosis. Methods:, A retrospective study of 22 patients with a diagnosis of VWS was undertaken at the Australian Craniofacial Unit (ACFU) in Adelaide. Three extended families with affected members were included in the study cohort. Results:, The overall prevalence of lip pits in this study cohort was 86%. Cleft phenotypes included bilateral cleft lip and palate (32%); unilateral cleft lip and palate (32%); submucous cleft palate (23%); and isolated cleft hard and soft palate (9%). Missing permanent teeth were reported in 86% of affected individuals. Conclusions:, Submucous cleft palate in VWS may go undiagnosed if the lower lip pits are not detected. Associated hypodontia and resultant malocclusions will also require management by a dental team. [source] | ||||||||||
