“…A previous study demonstrated that narrow canines were preferred in the position of lateral incisors. 33 No mesiodistal tooth size asymmetries were found for the maxillary central incisors in this study, corroborating the study by Santos et al 34 However, other previous studies have reported smaller anterior tooth size on the cleft side in UCLP, compared to noncleft side. [35][36][37] Tooth size and shape differences of the cleft side central incisors may be associated with the dental anomalies pattern.…”

Objective: To compare dental positional and gingival parameters of maxillary anterior teeth in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) after orthodontic treatment with canine substitution due to lateral incisor agenesis. Methods: This split-mouth study comprised 57 subjects with UCLP (31 male, 26 female) and agenesis of maxillary lateral incisor at the cleft side, from a single center. Canine substitution was completed after the secondary alveolar bone graft. Dental models were taken between 2 to 6 months after debonding (mean age: 20.4 years). The following variables were measured in the maxillary anterior teeth: crown height, width, proportion, and symmetry, as well as steps between incisal edges, gingival margins, tooth mesiodistal angulation and labiolingual inclination. Paired t-tests with Bonferroni post-hoc correction was used for comparisons between cleft and non-cleft sides (p<0.05). Results: At the cleft side, canines replacing missing lateral incisors had a higher crown height (0.77mm) and an increased width (0.67mm), and first premolars showed a shorter crown height (1.39mm). Asymmetries were observed in the gingival level of central and lateral incisors, with a greater clinical crown at the cleft side (0.61 and 0.81mm, respectively). Cleft side central incisors were more upright than their contralaterals (2.12º). Conclusions: Maxillary anterior teeth demonstrated positional, size and gingival height differences between cleft and non-cleft side after space closure of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis. Slight asymmetries in tooth position and gingival margin in the maxillary anterior teeth should be expected after orthodontic treatment in UCLP patients.

“…The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth in the general population has been reported within a range of 0.027 to 10.1 %, which varies greatly according to geographic location and race [5–7]. Clefts of all types are often associated with congenitally missing teeth,[8] and when compared with the general population, subjects with CLP have always been found to have a higher prevalence of dental anomalies, such as variations in tooth number and position, and reduced tooth dimensions, most of which are localized in the area of the cleft defect [9–11]. Rullo et al examined the prevalence of different types of dental anomalies in children with cleft and found that congenital absence of the cleft-side lateral incisor was observed in 40 % of the samples and a total of 30 % patients showed supernumerary teeth at the incisors region [12].…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cleft sidedness, and the number of congenitally missing teeth in regard to cleft type and gender.MethodsThe charts, models, radiographs, and intraoral photographs of 201 cleft patients including 131 males with the mean age of 12.3 ± 4 years and 70 females with the mean age of 12.6 ± 3.9 years were used for the study. T test, Chi-square, and binomial tests were used for assessment of the data.Results and conclusionsOne hundred forty-eight of the subjects suffered from cleft lip and palate followed by 41 subjects who suffered from cleft lip and alveolus. Chi-square test did not show any significant difference between the genders. Binomial test showed that left-sided cleft was more predominant in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients (P < 0.001). This study also showed that the upper lateral incisors were the most commonly missing teeth in the cleft area.

Background: The distribution of dental abnormalities specially missing tooth is common among the cleft palate & lip patient wherefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypodontia in case of Bangladeshi cleft population. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the congenital tooth deficiencies seen in permanent dentition in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) to non-cleft individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion. Methodology: This is a retrospective case control study between UCLP and Angle Class l malocclusion patients. This study was done on OPG films taken before treatment from 80 patients who applied for orthodontic treatment. 40 individuals with UCLP between the ages of 12 - 16 years were compared with the 40 individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion with no CLP aged between 12 - 16 years. Individuals with UCLP; 21 clefts were on the left side and 19 clefts were on the right side. The congenitally deficient teeth were recorded from the OPG films. In this study, third molars were not included in the evaluation. Results: In this study, no differences were found in regard to the gender of the patient. The left side of the patients was affected substantially more than the right side. The frequency of the missing upper lateral incisors in the cleft side of the patients was significantly higher than the non-cleft side. Therapists of cleft patients need to be aware of the high variety of numerical alterations, as this is important for therapy planning and the applied treatment. Conclusion: The management of dental anomalies, which can easily be detected by careful inspection of routine orthodontic diagnostic records, should be taken into consideration in treatment planning of individuals with a cleft.
