The prevalence of dental anomalies in patients with NSCL/P was higher than that reported in overall population. This study found preferential associations between dental anomalies and specific extensions of NSCL/P, suggesting that dental agenesis and ectopic tooth may be part of oral cleft subphenotypes.
Fissuras do lábio e/ou palato não sindrômicas (FL/PNS) representam as anomalias congênitas mais comuns da face. Entre as particularidades odontológicas mais frequentes nestes indivíduos, encontram-se as alterações dentárias, localizadas nas regiões das fissuras e também fora delas. O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a literatura sobre as anomalias dentárias associadas às FL/PNS. Efetuou-se uma busca de artigos em bases de dados computadorizadas, como Medline, Lilacs e PubMed. Segundo a análise crítica dos estudos pesquisados, observou-se que as anomalias dentárias foram mais comuns na dentição permanente. A maior prevalência foi de agenesia e dentes supranumerários. O incisivo lateral superior foi o elemento mais acometido pela agenesia, dentes supranumerários e microdontia. Os dentes mais próximos da fenda são os mais susceptíveis às malformações, entretanto a presença de anomalias dentárias fora da região fissurada aponta para eventos genéticos em comum envolvidos nesses processos.
Nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) are the most common congenital anomalies of the face. Dental abnormalities located inside and outside the cleft region are the most frequent dental characteristics found in these individuals. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on dental abnormalities associated with NSCL/P. A search for articles was conducted on electronic databases such as Medline, Lilacs and PubMed. According to the literature, dental abnormalities were more common in permanent dentition. Agenesis and supernumerary teeth showed the highest prevalence. The upper lateral incisor was the most affected teeth by agenesis, supernumerary teeth and microdontia. The teeth located closest to the cleft were more susceptible to defects. The presence of dental anomalies outside the cleft region suggests the presence of genetic events involved in both odontogenesis and craniofacial formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
