“…In patients with UCLP and UCL, the mean values of the ANB angle indicate the presence of a class II malocclusion. The same findings about patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate were obtained by Romanini and coauthors [26]. The group of patients without cleft-skeletal class II is also the most diagnosed malocclusion in the Polish population [27].…”

(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.

Background: Understanding the different skeletal relationships in orofacial clefts by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) may eventually lead to developing better diagnosis and treatment protocols for facial deformities. Aims: The objective of this study was to investigate the different skeletal relationships in the cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L), using CBCT scans. This is a retrospective study conducted at the Orthodontics and Oral Radiology department, CMH-Lahore medical college and Institute of dentistry. In the current study, 4,152 CBCT scans (dcm format) were collected from a radiology center in Lahore, Pakistan between February 2015 and February 2018. All CBCT scans were imported to the Romexis Viewer, version 4.4.0 (Planmeca, Finland). Data sorting was performed to identify age, sex, cleft phenotype, unilateral cleft quadrant, sagittal skeletal relationship, and facial soft tissue involvement. Materials and Methods: Statistics were generated, using the Chi-square test. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We identified 73 cases of CP ± L in the sample. The male-to-female ratio was 1.21:1. Bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) mostly affected males (60%), whereas unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) mainly affected females (57.6%), with a left-side female predominance. The different cleft phenotypes do not show any statistically significant difference regarding skeletal relationships and sex (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Skeletal class III relationships were found to be predominant in both sexes, followed by class II, and class I skeletal relationships. Henceforth, such CP ± L patients should be pre-emptively screened in early life to avoid such skeletal complications.
