[PMID: 38137587 PMCID: PMC10743654 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12247519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Alveolar bone grafting (ABG) is a critical surgical intervention in patients with a cleft of the alveolus, aimed at reconstructing the alveolar ridge to facilitate proper eruption, periodontal support, and alignment of adjacent permanent teeth. The optimal timing for ABG remains debated, with late secondary ABG between the ages of 9 and 11 being widely adopted. This study compared the palatal shapes of 28 children at a mean age of 9.5 years (SD = 0.7) who underwent early secondary ABG at a mean age of 2.1 years (SD = 0.6) or 33 children at a mean age of 10.8 years (SD = 1.5) who underwent late secondary ABG at a mean age of 8.6 years (SD = 1.3) to 60 non-cleft controls at a mean age of 8.6 years (SD = 1.2). The palatal shapes were captured with 239 landmarks digitized on the palate on a digital model. Utilizing geometric morphometric methods, i.e., generalized Procrustes superimpositions, principal component analysis, and permutation tests, we assessed the impact of ABG timing on palatal morphology. The first five principal components (PCs) explained 64.1% of the total shape variability: PC1 = 26.1%; PC2 = 12%; PC3 = 11.9%; PC4 = 7.8%; and PC5 = 6.4%. The Procrustes distance between both cleft groups and the control group was more than twice as large as the Procrustes distance between the early ABG and late ABG groups. Nonetheless, all intergroup differences were statistically significant. Our findings suggest that early ABG has a limited negative effect on palatal shape, providing comparable outcomes to late ABG. The study highlights the potential suitability of early ABG, challenging conventional practices and encouraging further exploration into its long-term effects on maxillary growth.

Development of Artificial Neural Network-Based Prediction Model for Evaluation of Maxillary Arch Growth in Children with Complete Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3025. [PMID: 37835768 PMCID: PMC10572375 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13193025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are the most common congenital craniofacial deformities that can cause a variety of dental abnormalities in children. The purpose of this study was to predict the maxillary arch growth and to develop a neural network logistic regression model for both UCLP and non-UCLP individuals. METHODS This study utilizes a novel method incorporating many approaches, such as the bootstrap method, a multi-layer feed-forward neural network, and ordinal logistic regression. A dataset was created based on the following factors: socio-demographic characteristics such as age and gender, as well as cleft type and category of malocclusion associated with the cleft. Training data were used to create a model, whereas testing data were used to validate it. The study is separated into two phases: phase one involves the use of a multilayer neural network and phase two involves the use of an ordinal logistic regression model to analyze the underlying association between cleft and the factors chosen. RESULTS The findings of the hybrid technique using ordinal logistic regression are discussed, where category acts as both a dependent variable and as the study's output. The ordinal logistic regression was used to classify the dependent variables into three categories. The suggested technique performs exceptionally well, as evidenced by a Predicted Mean Square Error (PMSE) of 2.03%. CONCLUSION The outcome of the study suggests that there is a strong association between gender, age, and cleft. The difference in width and length of the maxillary arch in UCLP is mainly related to the severity of the cleft and facial growth pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction technology is a method of transforming real goals into mathematical models consistent with computer logic expressions and has been widely used in dentistry, but the lack of review and summary leads to confusion and misinterpretation of information. The purpose of this review is to provide the first comprehensive link and scientific analysis of 3D reconstruction technology and dentistry to bridge the information bias between these two disciplines. METHODS The IEEE Xplore and PubMed databases were used for rigorous searches based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, supplemented by Google Academic as a complementary tool to retrieve all literature up to February 2023. We conducted a narrative review focusing on the empirical findings of the application of 3D reconstruction technology to dentistry. RESULTS We classify the technologies applied to dentistry according to their principles and summarize the different characteristics of each category, as well as the different application scenarios determined by these characteristics of each technique. In addition, we indicate their development prospects and worthy research directions in the field of dentistry, from individual techniques to the overall discipline of 3D reconstruction technology, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Researchers and clinicians should make different decisions on the choice of 3D reconstruction technology based on different objectives. The main trend in the future development of 3D reconstruction technology is the joint application of technology.

Effects of two flap palatoplasty versus furlow palatoplasty with buccal myomucosal flap on maxillary arch dimensions in patients with cleft palate at the primary dentition stage: a cohort study. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:5605-5613. [PMID: 37530892 PMCID: PMC10492692 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05182-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two flap palatoplasty (TFP) versus Furlow palatoplasty with buccal myomucosal flap (FPBF) on maxillary arch dimensions in children at the primary dentition stage with cleft palate, in comparison to matching subjects without any craniofacial anomalies. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 28 subjects with an age range of 5-6 years; 10 non-cleft subjects were included in the control group, 9 patients treated with TFP, and 9 patients treated with FPBF. For the included patients, the maxillary models were scanned using a desktop scanner to produce virtual models, and the maxillary dimension measurements were virtually completed. The produced measurements were compared between the 3 groups. Maxillary models of the 28 participants were evaluated. RESULTS Statistically insignificant differences were detected between the 3 groups for arch symmetry measurements. Differences were detected in the inter-canine width between the 2 surgical groups and non-cleft group. Both arch length and posterior palatal depth significantly differ while comparing the TFP to the control group, with no differences between FPBF and the non-cleft group. CONCLUSION Furlow palatoplasty with buccal myomucosal flap might be considered a better surgical option than two flap palatoplasty for patients with cleft palate while evaluating maxillary arch dimensions at the primary dentition stage as a surgical outcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study gives insight into the surgical technique that has limited effect on the maxillary growth and dental arch dimension. Therefore, it decreases the need for orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT05405738 ).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the maxillary arch dimensions of children aged 9 and 12 with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) who received orthodontic treatment and secondary alveolar bone grafting. DESIGN This retrospective cohort study was performed on 30 patients with UCLP. SETTING All patients were treated at the Cleft Lip and Palate Centre, which is part of the University Medical Centre Amsterdam and Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, the Netherlands. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Children with non-syndromic UCLP who received pre- and postsurgical orthodontics combined with secondary alveolar bone grafting between the ages of 9 and 12 years were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maxillary arch dimensions were assessed on 60 digitised dental casts with measurements of the intermolar widths, interpremolar widths, arch perimeters, arch lengths, arch widths, and palatal depths. RESULTS The results of a paired-samples t-test revealed a statistically significant increase (P < .05) in intermolar width 1, intermolar width 3, interpremolar width 1, arch perimeter, and arch width between the ages of 9 (T0) and 12 (T1). Intermolar width 2 and the palatal depth decreased statistically significantly between T0 and T1. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of maxillary arch dimensions of children with UCLP indicates significant changes between 9 and 12 years of age. This suggests that orthodontic treatment and secondary alveolar bone grafting can be effective in improving maxillary arch dimensions. However, there is a need for collaborative research and data collection in order to provide sensible and evidence-based care to patients with cleft lip and palate.

Abstract
Cleft lip and palate patients require complex interdisciplinary treatment, including maxillary expansion and secondary alveolar bone grafting. However, the evidence on these treatment procedures and outcomes is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to survey the subjective observations of European maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists on the maxillary expansion and bone grafting treatment protocols and the associated complications. An online questionnaire was sent to 131 centers. The questions assessed the participants' demographic data, maxillary expansion and alveolar bone grafting protocols, and the associated complications. Descriptive statistics and a t-test were used to analyze the data. The response rate was 40.5%. The average age for maxillary expansion was 9-10 years. The secondary alveolar bone grafting was planned 5-10 months after the expansion. The most common complications were asymmetric expansion, relapse, and fistula formation. The protocols and materials used vary widely among centers. Anatomical alterations and developmental processes, like tooth eruption adjacent to the cleft, should be seriously considered for treatment planning. This survey showed that there is still a lack of consensus on these treatment procedures. Further clinical trials should focus on long-term outcome evaluation to identify treatment components for optimal alveolar bone substitution and transversal maxillary expansion treatment in patients with clefts.

Abstract
Growth alterations have been described in patients operated on for oral clefts. The purpose of this work was to analyze the craniofacial and palate morphology and dimensions of young adults operated on for oral clefts in early childhood in Spain. Eighty-three patients from eight different hospitals were divided into four groups based on their type of cleft: cleft lip (CL, n = 6), unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP, n = 37), bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP, n = 16), and cleft palate only (CPO, n = 24). A control group was formed of 71 individuals. Three-dimensional (3D) digital models were obtained from all groups with an intraoral scanner, together with cephalometries and frontal, lateral, and submental facial photographs. Measurements were obtained and analyzed statistically. Our results showed craniofacial alterations in the BCLP, UCLP, and CPO groups with an influence on the palate, maxilla, and mandible and a direct impact on facial appearance. This effect was more severe in the BCLP group. Measurements in the CL group were similar to those in the control group. Cleft characteristics and cleft type seem to be the main determining factors of long-term craniofacial growth alterations in these patients. Prospective research is needed to clearly delineate the effects of different treatments on the craniofacial appearance of adult cleft patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is necessary to analyze and monitor the facial growth of orofacial cleft patients. The documentation should therefore begin before and after primary surgeries. Technological evolution has transformed plaster models into 3D images through scanners that allow rational storage, manipulation, and rotation without the possibility of breakage or damage. Based on this fact, this narrative review aims to provide a feature on the three-dimensional tools available for the assessment of dental arches in children with orofacial cleft and mixed dentition. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three databases were chosen (PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus) and keywords were used to select papers. RESULTS During the database screening, 292 potentially relevant papers were found. After removing duplicates, titles, and abstracts, 32 papers presented qualifications for analysis. Through evaluating each document by reading it one by one, 24 papers fulfilled the eligibility criteria. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that digital tools-i.e., benchtop scanners which evaluate the dental arches of children with cleft lip, palate, and mixed dentition-are reproducible and reliable, without the use of ionizing radiation, allow storage, manipulation with sustainability, and help preserve the environment.

Three-dimensional assessment of palatal area changes after posterior crossbite correction with tooth-borne and tooth bone-borne rapid maxillary expansion. Angle Orthod 2022; 92:483352. [PMID: 35793528 PMCID: PMC9374361 DOI: 10.2319/012822-85.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess and compare the three-dimensional treatment changes in palatal surface area and volume using either tooth-borne (TB) or tooth bone-borne (TBB) rapid maxillary expanders and to evaluate the long-term effects of the two devices and the incidence of the relapse between the groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 52 consecutive patients who met the eligibility criteria were recruited and allocated to either the TB group, mean age 9.3 years (standard deviation [SD], 1.3), or the TBB group, mean age 9.5 years (SD, 1.2). Study casts were taken before, directly after, 1 year after, and 5 years after expansion. Study casts were digitized, superimposed, and evaluated. Participants were randomly allocated in blocks of different sizes using the concealed allocation principle in a 1:1 ratio. RESULTS Changes in palatal volume, palatal surface area, and palatal projection area within and between the groups up to 5 years after expansion followed the same pattern and did not show any statistically significant differences between the groups. Relapse was seen in 15% of the patients. It seemed that open-bite and a Class III growth pattern could be assumed as prognosis-deteriorating factors in regard to stability of the treatment. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences between the TB and TBB groups in palatal volume, palatal shell area, or palatal projection area directly after expansion or at 1 year and 5 years after expansion, which implies that the two devices gave rise to the same immediate and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Patients with Apert syndrome or Crouzon syndrome present with severe defects in oral-maxillofacial growth and development. In this study, we conducted a quantitative three-dimensional (3D) analysis of the palatal morphology of patients with Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome. Four patients with Apert syndrome (average age, 11.0 ± 0.8 years) and five with Crouzon syndrome (average age, 10.1 ± 1.6 years) were investigated. The participants' maxillary dental casts were scanned and analyzed using 3D imaging. Palatal width, depth, cross-sectional area, and palatal angle (PW, PD, PCA, and PA, respectively) were measured, and standard scores were calculated based on sex- and age-matched Japanese standard values; the actual palatal surface areas (PSA) and palatal volumes (PV) were also measured. Our results show that patients with Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome had a very narrow PW (standard score: -3.79 and - 0.47, respectively). 3D analysis revealed that patients with Apert syndrome had a significantly shallower PD (standard score: -1.35) than those with Crouzon syndrome (standard score: 2.47), resulting in a smaller PCA (standard score: -5.13), PSA (5.49 cm2 ), and PV (1.11 cm3 ) and larger PA (standard score: -0.12) than those in patients with Crouzon syndrome. This might be due to the former having a narrower and shallower palate caused by the predominant swelling of the palatal mucosa. These findings improve our understanding of the differences in palatal morphology between Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome patients.

Evaluation of cheiloplasty and palatoplasty on palate surface area in children with oral clefts: longitudinal study. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2022; 60:437-442. [PMID: 35351327 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2021.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the palatal surface area in children with different oral clefts after primary surgeries and at five years of age. This longitudinal study was composed by 216 digital models: unilateral complete cleft lip (UCL), unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP), and complete cleft palate (CP). The models were analysed at four time periods: T1 (before cheiloplasty), T2 (before palatoplasty), T3 (after palatoplasty); and T4 - (at five years of age). Area of the dental arches was measured through stereophotogrammetry software. Measurements evaluated with Student's test and ANOVA followed by the Tukey test (p<0.05) (AQ 1). In the UCL group, the palatal surface area significantly increased among phases. In the primary surgery periods, UCLP and CP significantly decreased (p<0.001). Palatal area in the UCLP group was significantly greater than the CP group. Overall, no statistically significant differences occurred among groups. At T4, the area of the palate in the UCL group was significantly greater than the UCLP group and no significant differences occurred between UCLP and CP groups. This study suggests that cheiloplasty did not inhibit the growth of the palatal surface area in children with UCL and UCLP. Palatoplasty significantly decreased the palatal area in children with UCLP and CP, demonstrating a significant negative effect of palatal repair on maxillary growth. At five years, children with UCLP and CP had a significantly smaller palate area than those with UCL.

Abstract
(1) Background: This article focuses on examining components affecting the overbite, overjet, and the effect of palate surgery on craniofacial morphology with a concomitant cleft lip fusion scar, and a comparison of patients who had only a cleft lip fusion scar. Patients with unilateral cleft lip (UCL) and patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) were included in the study. We aimed to find if cephalometric parameters were significantly different in these groups. (2) Material and methods: The study group consisted of a lateral cranial radiograph of patients with UCLP (n = 30) and UCL (n = 30). Cephalometric radiographs were saved electronically, and cephalometric analysis was performed using a computer program. (3) Results: We observed that a statistically significant higher degree of maxillary prognathism occurred in the UCL than in the UCLP. We observed the anterior position of the upper lip in relation to E-line in patients with cleft lip. (4) Conclusions: The results present the effect of cleft palate surgery on further forward growth of the maxilla. There was a decreased ANB angle present in the skeletal class II in patients with UCL and UCLP. The SNB angle was not increased, and the reverse overjet was due to the rectroclination of the upper incisors and protruded lower incisors.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate longitudinally the volume of the dental arches in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate before and after the rehabilitative plastic surgeries. This is a longitudinal retrospective study was composed by 102 digitized dental casts of children with unilateral complete cleft lip (G1) and cleft lip and palate (G2). The palate volume was evaluated at 3 periods: preoperative (T1), postoperative 1 (T2), and postoperative 2 (T3). The intra- and inter-examiner reliability was analyzed by Wilcoxon test/Dahlberg formula and interclass correlation coefficient, respectively. The intragroup comparison was analyzed by Wilcoxon test and Friedman test followed by post-hoc Dunn test. Mann-Whitney test was applied for the intergroup comparison (α = 5%). G1 had a significant growth at T2 (P = 0.031). G2 demonstrated a positive development at T2, but decreased at T3 (P = 0.003). The intergroup analysis revealed that G2 showed a greater volume at T1 and T2 (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0024, respectively). T2-T1 exhibited no statistically significant difference (P = 0.262). In conclusion, there was a volumetric increase in the dental arches after cheiloplasty followed by a reduction after palatoplasty. Further investigations are necessary to validate the preliminary results of the present study.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether the transverse dimensions of the maxillary arch of
5-year-old children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) have changed
following centralization of cleft services in the United Kingdom. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Digital analysis of UCLP maxillary dental casts. Participants: All available maxillary dental casts from 5-year-old participants of the
Clinical Standards Advisory Group (CSAG, N = 114) and Cleft Care UK (CCUK, N
= 175) studies. Interventions: Quantitative measurements of the intercanine width (ICW), intermolar width
(IMW), and the distance from the midline to the greater and lesser side
canine (GC/LC) and greater side and lesser side second primary molar
(GE/LE). Degree measurements of the greater and lesser arch form angles,
arch length, anterior palatal depth (APD), and posterior palatal depth were
also measured. Main outcome: Differences between the transverse dimensions of the maxillary arch for the
CSAG and CCUK cohorts. Results: In 5 (ICW, IMW, LC, LE, and APD) of the 11 measurements, there was a
statistically significant difference between the CSAG and CCUK cohorts. In
all of these, the CCUK values were greater than CSAG. Conclusions: There have been small but positive improvements for the transverse maxillary
dimensions since centralization of the UK cleft service.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Patients with cleft lip and palate generally present with lateral incisor agenesis, which may be treated with an implant-supported prosthesis. However, whether implants can stabilize the dental arches in patients with cleft lip and palate is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to analyze the stability of the maxillary dental arch after orthodontic treatment and oral rehabilitation in the cleft area with an implant-supported prosthesis or a fixed partial denture. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-five participants, 20 with unilateral cleft lip and palate rehabilitated with implants (CLPI), 15 with unilateral cleft lip and palate rehabilitated with fixed partial dentures (CLPFP), and 20 in the noncleft group (NCLP) and their gypsum casts (N=110) were digitized and evaluated through 3D stereophotogrammetry. Measurements were made on casts obtained immediately after the orthodontic treatment (T1); for the cleft lip and palate group, casts were made 1 year after implant-supported restoration placement (T2), and for the noncleft group, 1 year after the conclusion of the orthodontic treatment (T2). The dimensions of the dental arches were measured digitally. Formula Δ=T2-T1 evaluated the stability of dental arches for intercanine distances, intermolar distances, arch length, palate surface, and volume (3D). Stability (Δ) was compared through 1-way ANOVA in all groups (α=.05). RESULTS A statistically significant difference was found in the stability of the CLPI and CLPFP groups for intercanine measurement (P=.002). For the intermolar measurement, a statistically significant difference was detected between the CLPFP and NCLP groups (P=.002). From the 3D measurements, the stability was similar in all groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients with clefts, a fixed partial denture may provide better stability of the orthodontic outcomes than an implant-supported prosthesis. However, greater instability occurred at the molar area.

Abstract
The current study was conducted to assess the extent of maxillary arch collapse on the cleft vis-a-vis non-cleft sides in the same individual presenting withunilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Thirty-one children (eighteen boys andthirteen girls) with surgically repaired UCLP, who met the inclusion criteria, were selected. Following the acquisition of CBCT scans, fourteen bilateral landmarks were selected. The distance of the bilateral landmark was calculated from the midsagittal plane on the cleft and non-cleft sides for both frontal and axial views. Tracings were done;the data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis;and intra-observer variability was checked with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and two-way ANOVA. Subsequently, the measurements were subjected to paired t-tests at the 95% level of significance with Bonferroni correction. A significant reduction of pyriforme and an alveolar crest above the maxillary 1st molar were discerned in frontal analysis on the cleft side. In the axial view, the zygomatic arch, malar, porion and alveolar crest at the molar region were non-significant, but the alveolar crest at the premolar region (p < 0.004)) was significantly decreased. In the frontal analysis, pyriforme and the alveolar crest above the maxillary 1st molar, and, in the axial view, premolar widths, showed significant reduction when comparing the cleft vis-a-vis non-cleft sides.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate longitudinally the alteration of the dental arch dimensions of children with different oral cleft types, before and after the primary surgeries. Three-dimensional images of the maxillary dental casts of children with unilateral complete cleft lip (G1), unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (G2), and cleft palate (G3). The children were evaluated at pre-cheiloplasty (T1), pre-palatoplasty (T2), and 1 year after palatoplasty (T3). The measurements obtained: intercanine (C-C') and intertuberosity (T-T') distances, anterior (I-CC') and total (I-TT') arch lengths. To analyze the intraexaminer error, paired t-test was applied and Dahlbergh formula. The intragroups comparisons were applied: paired t-test, ANOVA followed by Tukey, Wilcoxon test, and Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn test. The intergroup comparisons were performed by independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test. In G1, the C-C', T-T', and the I-TT' distances revealed a significant increase of the maxilla. In G2, the C-C' distance statistically decreased from T1 to T3, T-T' distance showed statistical increase from T1 to T3. The I-TT' length increased with statistically significant differences between T1 and T3, T2 and T3. In G3, the C-C', T-T', and I-TT' distance increased was statistically significant. The longitudinal evaluation of the changes occurred in the dental arches with different oral cleft types showed that cheiloplasty and palatoplasty caused the most alterations in the development of the maxillary dimensions of children with complete cleft lip and palate.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to observe the three-dimensional growth and development of the maxillary arch in 10-year-olds with normal occlusion during the late mixed dentition stage. Methods Forty-four 10-year-old students (22 males and 22 females) who had normal occlusion during late mixed dentition were selected from an elementary school in Beijing, China. Once per year for three consecutive years, a dental cast was obtained from each subject, and the cast was scanned with a 3D digital scanner (R700 3D). The three-dimensional measurements of the maxillary dental arch and the inclination of the bilateral maxillary first molars were obtained from the digital model. Results The upper anterior arch length (UAAL), upper total arch length (UTAL), upper inter primary or permanent canine width (UICW), upper intermolar width (UIMW), and upper dental arch length (UDAL) increased by 0.959 mm, 0.583 mm, 0.955 mm, 1.462 mm, and 2.46 mm, respectively, over the two years (P < 0.001). UR6BL and UL6BL decreased by 4.416° and 7.133°, respectively, over the two years (P < 0.001). The values of the UICW and UIMW were 1.67 mm and 1.86 mm, respectively, larger in males than in females at 12 years old (P < 0.01). The change in the UTAL was 0.431 mm greater in males than in females over the 2 years (P < 0.05). Conclusion The UAAL, UTAL, UICW, UIMW, and UDAL in 10- to 12-year-olds with normal occlusion increased with age. The buccolingual inclination of the bilateral maxillary first molars inclined to the palatal side with age. The UICW and UIMW were larger in males than in females at 12 years old. The male UTAL increased more than the female UTAL over the 2 years.

Abstract
Summary
Objectives
The objectives of this study were to assess the three-dimensional (3D) treatment changes (palatal surface area and volume) of forced unilateral posterior crossbite correction using either quad-helix or removable expansion plate appliances in the mixed dentition, and to compare the treatment changes with the three-dimensional changes occurring in age-matched untreated unilateral posterior crossbite patients as well as in subjects with normal occlusion and with no or mild orthodontic treatment need.
Trial design
Six-arm parallel group multicentre randomized controlled trial.
Materials and methods
One-hundred and thirty-five patients with unilateral posterior crossbite with functional shift were recruited. The patients were randomized by an independent person not involved in the trial. The randomization used blocks of 25, and the patients were randomized into the following five groups: quad-helix treatments in specialist orthodontic clinics (QHS), quad-helix treatments in general dentistry (QHG), removable expansion plate treatments in specialist orthodontic clinics (EPS), removable expansion plate treatments in general dentistry (EPG), and untreated crossbite (UC). Twenty-five patients with normal occlusion who served as normal controls were also included in the trial. Blinding of the outcome assessor and data analyst was accomplished. Data on all children were evaluated on an intention-to-treat basis, regarding 3D palatal surface area, palatal projection area, and palatal shell volume; two-dimensional linear measurements were registered at the same time.
Results
After treatment, the surface and projection area and shell volume increased in the four treatment groups (QHS, QHG, EPS, and EPG). QHS increased significantly more than EPG for the surface and projection area. The QHS and EPS had significantly higher mean difference for shell volume.
Limitations
The trial considers a short-term evaluation.
Conclusion
After treatment, there were no significant differences between the four treatment groups and the normal group, which implies that the surface and projection area together with the shell volume for the four treatment groups and the normal group were equivalent.
Trial registration
The trial was registered with https://www.researchweb.org/is/sverige, registration number: 220751.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of cleft severity and timing of hard palate repair on palatal dimensions in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) children. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Single-centre analysis within a multicenter RCT of primary surgery; 122 UCLP randomized to early hard palate closure (EHPC) at 12 months or delayed hard palate closure (DHPC) at 36 months; 28 frequency-matched controls. METHODS Linear measurements of palatal height, width and length were performed on 116 digital models of UCLP subjects (8.21 years, SD = 0.53) and 28 models of non-cleft individuals (8.44 years SD = 0.72). Cleft dimensions at infancy (mean 1.8 months) were considered. In a pilot study, shell-to-shell distances between the 3D cleft palate objects and a reference mesh were calculated and differences between the groups assessed. Morphological differences were visualized using colour mapping. RESULTS Compared to controls, UCLP subjects presented a higher palate at the level of the anterior scar (P = 0.002), but generally a lower palate in the middle region (P < 0.001). Comparing UCLP subgroups, the DHPC subjects showed a flatter palate posteriorly (P = 0.048) and the EHPC group exhibited more transversal constriction (P = 0.003 at M1 level). 3D analysis revealed a shallower palate in the DHPC group both in the middle (P = 0.002) and the posterior part (P = 0.008). Anterior cleft severity correlated negatively with palatal height (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Unilateral cleft lip and palate palates differ from controls in width and height. DHPC may represent an advantage for the transversal dimension, but a disadvantage for palatal height. Infant cleft dimensions partially explain differences in palatal height.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the association between maxillary dental arch transverse dimensions, palatal depths, palatal area and volume with buccally displaced canine (BDC) in mixed dentition subjects when compared to non-BDC subjects using laser scanner 3D technology. Materials and methods Sixty Caucasian subjects, 8-11 years of age (mean, 9.26 ± 1.48 years), were included. In each group (BDC and non-BDC) 30 children were matched. Digital dental casts were obtained using a 3 Shape D700 laser scanner. Intercanine and intermolar widths (cusp and gingival levels), anterior and posterior palatal depth (cusp level), palatal surface area and volume were measured. An independent sample Student's t-test and an ANOVA were undertaken with significance level set as P < 0.05. Results Intercanine widths at the cusp (1.76 mm; P = 0.020) and the gingival level (1.6 mm; P = 0.006), palatal area (133 mm2; P = 0.021) and volume (790 mm3; P = 0.046) were significantly lower in the BDC compared to the control group. Limitations A smaller part of the subjects was in late mixed dentition phase. To overcome this limitation a matched control group was used. Some subjects did not have some teeth because of the transition phase which might have had an influence on the dental measurements. However, these subjects were not excluded to avoid introducing a bias. Conclusions 3D evaluation of the maxillary arch and palate highlighted significant differences between BDC and non-BDC mixed dentition subjects. Maxillary dental arch dimensions and palate morphology may allow early identification and prevention of maxillary canine impaction.

Secondary alveolar bone grafting using autologous versus alloplastic material in the treatment of cleft lip and palate patients: systematic review and meta-analysis. Prog Orthod 2019; 20:6. [PMID: 30740615 PMCID: PMC6369233 DOI: 10.1186/s40510-018-0252-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A systematic review assessing autologous versus alloplastic bone for secondary alveolar bone grafting in patients with cleft lip and palate was published in 2011 and included only one randomized controlled trial comparing traditional iliac bone graft to recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh-BMP2). Objectives To perform a systematic review with meta-analysis on the use of secondary alveolar bone grafting (autologous bone and rh-BMP2 graft) in order to improve bone volume and height in patients with cleft lip and palate. Data sources An electronic search was conducted via PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CONTROL) via Cochrane Library, EMBASE via Ovid, and LILAC for studies published between January 2008 and September 2018. The systematic review registration number at PROSPERO was 42018085858. Eligibility criteria Only RCTs were included. Inclusion criteria were patients with the diagnosis of unilateral cleft lip and palate older than 5 years of age, radiographic evaluation (CT and/or CBCT) of the cleft area, and at least a 6-month follow-up. Main outcome measures Bone formation and bone height by radiographic CT evaluation (preoperatively, after 6 months and after 1 year of follow-up) and length of hospital stay were assessed. Results Four studies met strict inclusion criteria. Autologous bone graft showed statistically significant higher bone formation after 6-month follow-up (MD − 14.410; 95% CI − 22.392 to − 6.428; p = 0.000). No statistically significant difference was noted after a 1-year follow-up (MD 6.227; 95% CI − 15.967 to 28.422; p = 0.582). No statistically significant difference in bone height was noted after 6-month (MD − 18.737; 95% CI − 43.560 to 6.087; p = 0.139) and 1-year follow-up (MD − 4.401; 95% CI − 30.636 to 21.834; p = 0.742). Patients who underwent rh-BMP2 graft had a statistically significant reduced hospital stay (MD − 1.146; 95% CI − 2.147 to − 0.145; p = 0.025). Limitations The main limitation is the high risk of bias among included studies. Conclusion Autologous bone and rh-BMP2 graft showed a similar effectiveness in maxillary alveolar reconstruction in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate assessing bone graft volume and height although rh-BMP2 graft showed a relative shorter length of hospital stay (high uncertainty level).
