Objective To determine the frequency of detection of cleft lip with or without cleft palate and isolated cleft palate from antenatal ultrasound examinations conducted on mothers of infants born with cleft lip and/or palate and isolated cleft palate in Western Australia from 1996 to 2003. Design Review of patient records and purpose-designed questionnaire sent to parents of children born with cleft lip and/or palate and isolated cleft palate. Results There were 308 infants born with cleft lip and/or palate and isolated cleft palate in the study period. Of the 293 parents, 218 responses were available for the study (70.7%), and 2.9 ± 1.8 SD antenatal ultrasound scans were performed on 216 women. No such scans were performed on two women. Cleft lip and/or palate was detected in 22.2% of cases. There was no detection prior to 15 weeks gestational age in the 137 women screened. Between 15 and 19 weeks gestational age, 174 scans detected 30 cases. Between 20 and 29 weeks gestational age, 84 scans detected 11 cases. Between 30 and 40 weeks gestational age, 66 scans detected 7 cases. The detection rate for bilateral cleft lip and/or palate was 44.4% and for unilateral cleft lip and/or palate, 40.6%. Detection rate for isolated cleft lip was 33.3%. Antenatal ultrasound failed to detect any infants with an isolated cleft palate (n = 95). The rate of detection of cleft lip and/or palate increased through the study period. Conclusions The rate of detection of cleft lip and/or palate in Western Australia is comparable to that for referral centers worldwide and is increasing. The rate of detection of the various types of cleft anomalies using antenatal ultrasound ranged from 0% to 44%.

Between 1962 and 1976, a one-stage surgical procedure was performed on 328 cases of cleft lip and palate or isolated cleft palate. From 1977 to 1986, a two-stage surgical procedure was performed on 192 patients. After one-stage repair, 22 (6.7%) required a pharyngeal flap at the age of 6 years, and 13 (7%) required a flap after two-stage repair. When the patients were 14 years or older, 56 (17%) needed a flap after one-stage repair, and 14 (24%) required a flap after two-stage repair. Two-stage repair at 24 months and 5.2 years resulted in more patients in need of pharyngeal flaps than those who had repair at 12 to 18 months and 3 years. In both groups, at age 10, the incidence of flaps was approximately 20% after closure of isolated cleft palate involving the hard palate, with 11 to 12% in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) or clefts of the soft palate only, and 14 to 16% in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). The pharyngeal flap was more often used in girls than in boys, especially in cases with CP only. Approximately 85% of the flaps were carried out before the age of 10 years, and only a few flaps may have been related to involution of the adenoid. The incidence of fistulas was higher after one-stage repair of cleft lip and palate (CLP) (p < .05) and lower in patients with CP only (p < .05), compared with the results after two-stage repair. Pharyngeal flaps were slightly more common after two-stage repair. The possible advantages of two-stage repair in relationship to maxillary growth, which may justify the second operation, will be investigated when the patients are older.

Abstract Background When evaluating speech in children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP/L), children with known syndromes and/or additional malformations (CP/L+) are usually excluded. The aim of this study was to present speech outcome of a consecutive series of 5-year-olds born with CP/L, and to compare speech results of children with CP/L + and children with CP/L without known syndromes and/or additional malformations (CP/L-). Methods One hundred 5-year-olds (20 with CP/L+; 80 with CP/L-) participated. All children were treated with primary palatal surgery in one stage with the same procedure for muscle reconstruction. Three independent judges performed phonetic transcriptions and rated perceived velopharyngeal competence from audio recordings. Based on phonetic transcriptions, percent consonants correct (PCC) and percent non-oral errors were investigated. Group comparisons were performed. Results In the total group, mean PCC was 88.2 and mean percent non-oral errors 1.5. The group with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) had poorer results on both measures compared to groups with other cleft types. The average results of PCC and percent non-oral errors in the CP/L + group indicated somewhat poorer speech, but no significant differences were observed. In the CP/L + group, 25 % were judged as having incompetent velopharyngeal competence, compared to 15 % in the CP/L- group. Conclusions The results indicated relatively good speech compared to speech of children with CP/L in previous studies. Speech was poorer in many children with more extensive clefts. No significant differences in speech outcomes were observed between CP/L + and CP/L- groups.

Maxillary Deficiency

Orthodontic treatment in patients with orofacial cleft such as cleft lip and palate or isolated cleft palate is challenging, especially when the patients exhibit severe maxillary growth retardation. To correct this deficiency, maxillary expansion and protraction can be performed in the first phase of orthodontic treatment. However, in some cases, the malocclusion cannot be corrected by these procedures, and thus, skeletal discrepancy remains when the patients are adolescents. These remaining problems occasionally require various orthognathic treatments according to the degree of the discrepancy. Here, we describe one case of a female with isolated cleft palate and hand malformation who exhibited severe maxillary deficiency until her adolescence and was treated with multiple orthognathic surgeries, including surgically assisted maxillary expansion (surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion), LeFort I osteotomy, and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in order to correct severe skeletal discrepancy and malocclusion. The treatment resulted in balanced facial appearance and mutually protected occlusion with good stability. The purpose of this case report is to show the orthodontic treatment outcome of 1 patient who exhibited isolated cleft palate and subsequent severe skeletal deformities and malocclusion which was treated by an orthodontic-surgical approach.

Objective: To report the patterns of cleft lip and/or cleft palate in Saudi Arabia from data collected at a tertiary care hospital. Design and Setting: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh. Patients: All the cleft lip and/or cleft palate patients registered in the Cleft Lip/Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies Registry from June 1999 to December 2005. Results: Retrospectively, 807 cases of cleft lip and/or palate were registered. There were 451 boys and 356 girls. Cleft lip and palate was more common (387) than isolated cleft palate (294) and isolated cleft lip (122). Boys predominated in cleft lip and palate and cleft lip; whereas, girls predominated in isolated cleft palate, with boy to girl ratios of 1.6:1, 1.2:1, and 0.9:1 for cleft lip and/or palate, isolated cleft lip, and isolated cleft palate, respectively. The Riyadh region had more cases (32.0%) than the Asir (15.6%) and Eastern (14.6%) regions. Parents of 439 individuals had consanguineous marriages. A positive family history of cleft was seen in 224 cases. Of 238 cases with associated anomalies, 91 had congenital heart disease. Of the children with isolated cleft palate, 40.5% had associated anomalies, whereas only 23.0% of the children with isolated cleft lip or cleft lip and palate had associated malformations. Conclusion: The pattern of cleft observed in this study does not differ significantly from those reported in the literature for Arab populations.

As fissuras labiopalatinas (FLP) são as malformações congênitas mais comuns da região craniofacial e apresentam diferentes fenótipos e características clínicas, que diferem entre si de acordo com as estruturas anatômicas envolvidas: fissura de lábio, fissura de lábio e palato e fissura de palato isolada. A etiologia das FLP é multifatorial e inclui fatores genéticos e ambientais. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar o papel das fissuras labiopalatinas na prevalência de cárie dentária por meio de uma revisão na literatura. O defeito anatômico que envolve o rebordo alveolar e/ou o palato pode resultar em agenesias dentárias, dentes supranumerários, anomalias de forma e estrutura, bem como atresia maxilar, mordidas cruzadas posteriores e apinhamentos dentários. Também, a presença da FLP pode resultar aos indivíduos problemas durante alimentação, pronúncia de alguns fonemas, audição e integração social, o que poderia afetar a qualidade de vida do indivíduo e da dinâmica familiar. Quando a saúde bucal de crianças e adolescentes com FLP foi investigada, maior retenção do biofilme microbiano nas superfícies dentárias, de inflamação gengival e maior ocorrência de cárie dentária foram observados. Para um diagnóstico e tratamento adequados, é fundamental uma abordagem multidisciplinar, individualizada, para orientação e planejamento do tratamento dos indivíduos com a malformação, desde o nascimento até a fase adulta. O conhecimento dos efeitos da FLP na saúde bucal e no bem-estar dos indivíduos e das famílias afetadas é fundamental para mudanças nas políticas públicas das práticas de saúde e redução da sobrecarga da presença da malformação congênita.   Palavras-chave: Cárie Dentária. Fenda Labial. Fissura Palatina. Saúde Bucal   Abstract Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are the most common congenital malformations of the craniofacial region and they present different phenotypes and clinical characteristics, which differ according to the anatomical structures involved: cleft lip, cleft lip and palate and isolated cleft palate. The etiology of CLP is multifactorial and includes genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cleft lip and palate in the prevalence of dental caries through a literature review. The anatomical defect involving the alveolar ridge and / or the palate can result in dental agenesis, supernumerary teeth, anomalies in shape and structure, as well as maxillary atresia, posterior cross bites and dental crowding. Also, the presence of CLP can result in problems for individuals during feeding, pronunciation of some phonemes, hearing and social integration, which could affect the individual's quality of life and family dynamics. When the oral health of children and adolescents with CLP was investigated, greater retention of microbial biofilm on dental surfaces, gingival inflammation and the occurrence of dental caries were observed. For an adequate diagnosis and treatment, a multidisciplinary and individualized approach is essential to guide and plan the treatment of individuals with the malformation, from birth to adulthood. The knowledge of the effects of FLP on oral health and on the well-being of affected individuals and families is fundamental to changes in public health practice policies and to reduce the burden of the presence of the congenital malformation.   Keywords:  Cleft Lip.

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most prevalent malformations occurring in the head and neck region. Cleft lip and palate is the second most birth defect in the US after club foot. The incidence of Cleft lip and cleft palate is also very common in Indian Population with the rate of 1 in 700 births approximately. In India, the main reason for the formation of Cleft Lip and cleft palate is consanguineous marriage due to less awareness among people. Cleft lip can be unilateral or bilateral and may involve or palate. Again it can be further classified as Complete or Incomplete cleft lip and /or Cleft palate. Most of the patients were deprived of treatment, mainly due to their unawareness and their lower status. Cleft patients need comprehensive, cleft care management. So the aim of this study is to find the incidence of bilateral cleft lip or palate in patients who reported toSaveetha Dental College and Hospital, Chennai. This study is done with 76 patients40 males, 36 females)who visited a Saveetha Dental College during one year between June 2019-April 2020. All available data were extracted from patients case sheets and results were obtained through SPSS analysis. In this study, we observed that 90.5 % of patients reported with unilateral cleft lip and palate, where only 9.1% of patients reported with bilateral cases. Males were having high prevalence with 52.6 % and females 47.4%. conclusion, male patients had higher cleft lip and palate compared to females. The incidence of bilateral cases seen among cleft lip and palate is fewer in males.
