SB is a frequent condition in adolescents, and the factors associated with its prevalence were: male sex, snoring and difficulty falling asleep.

Objective: To observe if dental alterations in premolars are associated with the rupture of the follicle bone crypt caused by a periapical lesion in the predecessor molars. Study design: This is a cross-sectional study. Data collection consisted of the analysis of medical records, a socioeconomic questionnaire, and dental clinical examination. Records from patients with a history of a radiographically visible periapical lesion in lower primary molars submitted to pulp therapy or extraction from a university dental clinic were selected. Successor premolars were clinically evaluated for the presence of enamel development defects, shape alterations, and eruption deviations. The descriptive analysis of data was performed, and Fisher’s exact tests, linear trend chi-square, and the Student’s t-test were applied. Results: Forty-eight permanent teeth were from 36 patients were evaluated in this study, and 20 (41.7%) of the 48 examined premolars showed a radiographic image suggestive of the rupture of the bone crypt. Rupture of the follicle bone crypt was not associated with the occurrence of enamel alterations in premolars (p = 0.418). An association between dental alterations and age over six years at the time of intervention was observed (p = 0.043). Conclusion: The presence of enamel alterations of premolars was not associated with the rupture of the follicle bone crypt caused by a periapical lesion in predecessor molars.

We aim to describe the oral phenotype and manifestations of the cleft lip and palate of individuals from two generations of a family. The family history, information relating to pregnancies, sociodemographic data and pre-and postoperative clinical and radiographic characteristics of the individuals were collected. Four members of the family had cleft lip and palate: the father and three daughters. They had different phenotypes regarding their type and affected side. The individuals underwent medical treatment and received surgical correction procedures. Alteration in the number, shape, positioning and eruption pattern of teeth was registered. The presence of oral clefts between generations of the same family is not a predictable phenomenon nor are their characteristics. Reports of this nature, as well as the psychological and social impact of the condition, are important to emphasize the need aspects of studies involving these individuals.
