Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess differences in root development between the cleft side (CS) and noncleft side (NCS) for permanent maxillary central incisor and canine longitudinally in patients with nonsyndromic complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (cUCLP) who received secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) and to evaluate the effects of SABG on the acceleration of root development of these teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Permanent maxillary central incisors and canines of 44 subjects with nonsyndromic cUCLP who had all their cleft-related surgeries performed by the same surgeon were analyzed retrospectively from chart notes and radiographs. Panoramic and periapical radiographs at time point 1 (T1) (age, 7.55 years), at SABG (time point 2 [T2], 10.13 years), and a minimum of 2 years after SABG were studied. Root development rating scores on the NCS and CS were compared using paired t-tests and analyses of proportions. RESULTS Mean root development score differences (NCS - CS) for canines and central incisors were greatest at T2 but diminished at time point 3 (T3). A larger proportion of teeth on the CS trailed the teeth on the NCS by at least 1 point at T2 than at T1 or T3, with the smallest proportion being observed at T3. The change in root development scores from T1 to T2 and from T2 to T3 showed relative CS acceleration from T2 to T3, indicating a catch-up of root development of cleft-adjacent teeth after SABG. CONCLUSIONS Root development of cleft-adjacent central incisors and canines is slow in comparison with their noncleft analogs. Root development of these teeth accelerates following SABG.

Reliability and Reproducibility of Landmark Identification in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: Digital Lateral Vis-A-Vis CBCT-Derived 3D Cephalograms. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10030535. [PMID: 33540549 PMCID: PMC7867146 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10030535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the retrospective observational study was to compare the precision of landmark identification and its reproducibility using cone beam computed tomography-derived 3D cephalograms and digital lateral cephalograms in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients. METHODS Cephalograms of thirty-one (31) North Indian children (18 boys and 13 girls) with a unilateral cleft lip and palate, who were recommended for orthodontic treatment, were selected. After a thorough analysis of peer-reviewed articles, 20 difficult-to-trace landmarks were selected, and their reliability and reproducibility were studied. These were subjected to landmark identification to evaluate interobserver variability; the coordinates for each point were traced separately by three different orthodontists (OBA, OBB, OBC). Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics with paired t-tests to compare the differences measured by the two methods. Real-scale data are presented in mean ± SD. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant at a 95% confidence level. RESULTS When comparing, the plotting of points posterior nasal spine (PNS) (p < 0.05), anterior nasal spine (ANS) (p < 0.01), upper 1 root tip (p < 0.05), lower 1 root tip (p < 0.05), malare (p < 0.05), pyriforme (p < 0.05), porion (p < 0.01), and basion (p < 0.05) was statistically significant. CONCLUSION In patients with a cleft lip and palate, the interobserver identification of cephalometric landmarks was significantly more precise and reproducible with cone beam computed tomography -derived cephalograms vis-a-vis digital lateral cephalograms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Taking into account radiation doses, safety, and protection, we highlighted the features in which cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can offer an advantage compared to the conventional two-dimensional imaging in paediatric dentistry before orthodontic treatment. OBJECTIVE The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review to assess the diagnostic efficacy of CBCT in the paediatric population at a pre-orthodontic phase. SEARCH METHODS MEDLINE via PubMed was searched to identify all peer-reviewed articles potentially relevant to the review until 1 July 2018. Relevant publications were selected by two reviewers independently. SELECTION CRITERIA The literature selection for this systematic review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and was based on predetermined inclusion criteria. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data were collected on overall study characteristics and examination characteristics of the selected studies. Methodological quality of the selected studies was evaluated. Original studies were assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS) tool. Thereafter, levels of evidence were obtained according to Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria. RESULTS As a result of the QUADAS assessment, a total of 37 articles were included in the protocol. Following a proper protocol, CBCT was regarded as a reliable tool for assessment and management of impacted canine and root fracture. It provided a better evaluation of normal and pathological condylar shape and volume. CBCT was a superior choice for pre-surgical diagnostic applications in cleft lip and/or palate over a medical computed tomography based on its lower radiation exposure, shorter investigation time, and low purchase costs. CONCLUSIONS CBCT is justified only in those cases where conventional radiography fails to provide a correct diagnosis of pathology. Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a standard method of diagnosis. CBCT imaging may also be justified when it positively affects treatment options or provides treatment optimization. REGISTRATION None. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None to declare.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if the presence of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) causes delay in dental age and tooth development. MATERIALS AND METHODS Panoramic radiographs of 189 non-syndromic UCLP patients, aged from 6 to 20 years, were collected. Two measures of tooth development were examined: dental maturity scale for the seven left mandibular teeth (dental age-DA) and the degree of each tooth development (developmental score-DS). All the teeth except third molars were staged according to the Demirjian's method. The data of the cleft group were compared with a control group matched for age and gender, based on the findings observed in other 189 panoramic radiographs. RESULTS At all ages, DA was lower in the UCLP group, but not always significantly; the highest difference was - 1.411 for females at 13 years old and - 0.776 for males at 12 years old. DS of all teeth was significantly lower in the UCLP group, at all ages under 17 in females, and at all ages under 18 in males. In UCLP group, tooth development was more delayed in the maxilla compared with the mandible. No evidence of a slower development at the cleft side compared with the non-cleft side was highlighted. CONCLUSIONS Significant lower dental development was observed in UCLP patients compared with control ones by using DS and DA indexes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings can help the clinicians in establishing a proper orthodontic and surgical diagnosis and treatment planning in UCLP patients and for forensic age estimation's purposes.

Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2020; 157:668-679.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP), secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) can be performed before or after the emergence of the cleft side permanent canine (pre-CE and post-CE, respectively). The controversy regarding dental outcomes related to the timing of SABG remains unsettled. The objective of this study was to evaluate dental survival and specific dental outcomes of cleft-adjacent teeth in children with CUCLP who received either pre-CE or post-CE SABG. METHODS The permanent maxillary canines and the central and lateral incisors of 21 pre-CE and 23 post-CE SABG subjects with nonsyndromic CUCLP and all cleft-related surgeries performed by the same surgeon were analyzed retrospectively. Intraoral radiographs and clinical chart notes were collected at age 7 years, at the time of the SABG, and approximately 4 years after the grafting. Dental survival, spontaneous canine eruption, planned prosthetic replacement, root development, and root resorption were analyzed. RESULTS Dental outcomes on the noncleft side were better than those on the cleft side. On the cleft side, dental survival of the cleft-adjacent teeth was not significantly different between the pre-CE and post-CE SABG groups (P >0.05). Most teeth completed root development after grafting, and the cleft side canine root development in the pre-CE SABG group appeared to accelerate after SABG. Trends showed that the pre-CE SABG group suffered less root resorption (16.28%; post-CE: 22.73%; P >0.05) and received fewer planned prosthetic replacements (14.29%; post-CE: 26.01%; P >0.05) but required a greater number of canine exposures (33.33%; post-CE: 4.55%; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Pre-CE SABG showed better dental outcomes in patients with CUCLP, with fewer adverse dental outcomes than post-CE SABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the tooth lengths, crown to root ratios (CRRs), and alveolar bone support (ABS) around cleft-adjacent maxillary central incisors (U1s) in patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (UCLA) and to investigate the relationships between CRR and ABS. DESIGN This is a retrospective study. SETTING Cleft Lip and Palate Care Center of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China. PATIENTS Fifty-eight Chinese patients with UCLA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Cone beam computed tomography data from 58 nonsyndromic patients with UCLA (36 males, 22 females; mean age = 12.65 ± 3.64 years) were evaluated. Crown length and root length, alveolar bone thickness (ABT), and the distances between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest on 4 surfaces of cleft-adjacent U1 were measured and compared with those of noncleft side in the same patients. Crown to root ratio and frequency of dehiscence were calculated and comparisons were also made between cleft and noncleft sides. Regression analysis was performed to explore the association between CRR and ABS. RESULTS The CRR of cleft-adjacent U1 and alveolar bone crest heights (ACHs) on the 4 surfaces were significantly greater than those of noncleft side (P < .01). A 3 mm labial, all lingual, and apico-distal ABTs decreased on the cleft side (P < .01). A positive correlation was found between lingual ACH and CRR (R = 0.316, P < .05), between the 3 mm (R = 0.417, P < .05) and 6 mm labial (R = 0.448, P < .05) ABT and CRR. A negative correlation was found between the 3 mm and 6 mm labial ABTs and the root length. CONCLUSIONS It can be suggested that the CRR is related to ACH and ABT. The lingual ACH, the 3 mm, and 6 mm labial ABTs tend to increase with the increasing CRR.

Abstract
Purpose: This study investigated the third molar mineralization in patients with cleft lip and palate.Materials and methods: From a total of 253 digital panoramic radiographs from patients with cleft lip and palate within the age range of 7-21 years, 97 radiographs were selected (cleft group). A control group was formed from same sex individuals, without malformation and chronological age matched within 30 days. The analysis of third molar mineralization was carried out by three calibrated examiners using Demirjian's and Nolla's methods. McNemar and Wilcoxon test for paired samples were used for pairwise comparisons between the groups. The Likelihood Ratio test was used to check for an association between the type of cleft and tooth calcification.Results: In both methods, the mineralization means were smaller in the case group than in the control, with significant differences for all third molars (p < .05). The type of cleft affected dental mineralization. There was no significant difference when comparing the left or right sides, but maxillary molars showed earlier mineralization.Conclusions: A significant delay in third molar mineralization was observed in patients with cleft lip and palate according to Demirjian's and Nolla's methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study of dental development in individuals born with cleft lip and palate (CLP) serves to determine when orthodontic intervention should start. To evaluate the permanent second molar development in children born with cleft lip and palate according to Demirjian's and Nolla's methods. METHODOLOGY Out of a total of 513 digital panoramic radiographs, 113 pairs of children aged 3 to 16 years were selected. The exams were from children born with or without cleft lip and palate, of the same sex, with an age difference of up to 30 days. The images were analyzed by three examiners and reliability was checked through intra-examiner agreement by the Kappa test. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon's and Mann-Whitney tests according to each dataset. RESULTS The findings indicated delayed development of the permanent second molars in children with CLP (P<0.001). The development of the right permanent second molar was delayed compared to the left molar in children with CLP. Moreover, mandibular teeth showed significantly earlier development than maxillary teeth in both the case and control groups. There was no significant difference in the development of permanent second molars between sexes. CONCLUSION Children with CLP presented delay in the development of permanent second molars.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary disorder that affects the connective tissue and collagen structures in the body characterised by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and tissue fragility. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the oro-dental characteristics including measurements of tooth size of 26 patients with hypermobile EDS (hEDS), differentiated by a genetic test, compared to 39 healthy controls. METHODS Interview, clinical and radiological examination on panoramic radiograph and cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scan were performed. Statistical analyses included Fisher's exact test, paired t test and multiple logistic and linear models adjusted for age and gender. RESULTS The experience of xerostomia (P = 0.039), local anaesthetic insufficiency (P < 0.001) and tooth extraction complications (P < 0.003) were significantly higher in hEDS compared to controls. The debris index was significantly higher in hEDS (P < 0.001), and the distance between the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) and the bone level on the upper left first incisor and molar and the lower right first molar was significantly larger in hEDS compared to controls (P = 0.021, P = 0.024, P = 0.021, respectively). The crown heights of the upper and lower first incisors were significantly smaller (P = 0.001, P = 0.003, P = 0.002, P < 0.001, respectively) in hEDS compared to controls. When adjusting for debris index, only the distance between CEJ and the marginal bone level on the upper left and lower right molar was associated with hEDS. CONCLUSION The results indicate that xerostomia, resistance to local anaesthesia, tooth extraction complications, poor oral hygiene, larger distance between CEJ and marginal bone level and small crown heights can be found in patients with hEDS.
