ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this paper was to describe the prevalence and type of dental anomalies in the primary and permanent dentition in children with a cleft condition at Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth, Western Australia. Materials and Methods: The details of 162 current dental patients extracted from the main dental database through their year of birth for the period 1998–2001 were selected consecutively. Dental records and X-rays were examined by one examiner (WN) and verified by a second examiner (RB) to determine dental development. The mean age of the subjects was 10.8 years with equal numbers of males and females. Subjects were further divided into cleft type; unilateral cleft lip (UCL) and palate, bilateral cleft lip (BCL) and palate, UCL, BCL, and cleft palate. Results: One hundred sixty-two subjects were grouped into 21 categories of anomaly or abnormality. Prevalence rates for the categories were calculated for the overall group and for gender and cleft type. Conclusion: Overall, 94% of patients were found to have at least one dental anomaly, with fifty-six (34%) patients having more than one anomaly or abnormality.

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%.

The ability of the GOSLON Yardstick, scored at 9 years of age, to predict the need for orthognathic surgery in a cohort of complete Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (UCLP) patients treated in the Cleft Lip and Palate Unit, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Perth, Western Australia was assessed. Sixty six consecutively treated UCLP patients with dental models at 9 years of age and details on referral for orthognathic surgery were retrieved from medical and dental records. Cephalometric appraisal at 18 year old patients was also conducted. Twenty four of sixty six patients were referred for orthognathic surgery at growth completion (36%). Referral pattern stratified by GOSLON scores at 9 years of age found that four of four patients (100%), with a GOSLON score of 5 were referred for orthognathic surgery. Eleven of fourteen patients (79%) with a GOSLON 4, four of sixteen patients (25%) with a GOSLON 3 and five of thirty two patients (15%) with a GOSLON 2 were referred. No patient recorded a GOSLON 1 at age 9. Cephalometric appraisals conducted on thirty eight subjects at age 18 significantly discriminated the referral group from the non-referral group. Of the seventeen patients referred for surgery eight fulfilled the objective cephalometric criteria for orthognathic surgery, none of the patients who were not referred for orthognathic surgery fulfilled the objective criteria. The GOSLON Yardstick was found to be a good predictor of the need for orthognathic surgery at growth completion in our unit.
