“…According to Jacobson et al, an acceptable position (approximated as A point) was identified as a point located 3.0 mm toward the outer lip surface from a point situated between the upper third and lower two-thirds of the vertical axis of the maxillary central incisor's root. This particular point also closely resembles the true NA plane [16]. From birth to the age of 20, BCLP patients get therapy.…”

Introduction Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning encounter distinctive complexities when dealing with cleft lip and palate anomalies. This research endeavors to thoroughly examine skeletal and dental characteristics through cephalometric analyses among individuals with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) within the central Indian population. Due to anatomical variations and growth constraints, traditional cephalometric mean values derived from standard population studies are often inadequate for these cases. Advanced technology, such as NemoCeph (Nemotech, Madrid, Spain) software, enhances measurement accuracy. Methods Fifty patients, including 25 with BCLP and 25 without BCLP, aged 10 to 18, were selected for this cross-sectional study. Lateral cephalograms were traced and analyzed using NemoCeph software. Skeletal and dental parameters were measured, and a comparison was made between BCLP patients and the general population. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Student’s unpaired t-test. Both SPSS Statistics Version 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and GraphPad Prism Version 7.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) were used for data analysis. Results The investigation revealed significant disparities across several parameters, including sella-nasion-A point angle (SNA), sella-nasion-B point angle (SNB), A point-nasion-B point angle (ANB), the inter-incisal angle (the angle between the long axes of the upper and lower incisors), and UP 1 to A-pog (a specific vertical measurement between anatomical markers labeled “upper 1” and “A point to pogonion”), with associated p-values for the skeletal and dental parameters of 0.310, 0.259, 0.195, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively. A comparison between manual tracing and digital methods indicated a reduction in errors and an improvement in measurement precision. Notably, patients diagnosed with BCLP exhibited distinctive skeletal and dental traits, highlighting the necessity for tailored treatment approaches. Conclusion This study emphasizes the importance of personalized cephalometric evaluations for patients with BCLP. Standard mean values may not be applicable due to unique anatomical considerations in these cases. Advanced technology and patient-specific assessments are crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and orthognathic procedures in individuals with cleft lip and palate conditions. Embracing digital tools and tailored approaches can enhance patient care quality and lead to better clinical outcomes.

“…Cephalometric radiography and analysis done in the past required human labor and were error-prone. The technique is likewise riddled with flaws [16]. Due to restrictions on the utility of twodimensional cephalometry, the world is shifting to a digital mode of intervention.…”

“…CLP patients have an underdeveloped maxilla and due to this, we are not able to locate landmarks for determining the analysis. 14 Ege Doğan et al (2020), stated that the objective of his study's was to assess the preciseness of cephalometric measurement data using lateral cephalometry in individuals with CLP present unilaterally. 15 It is crucial to pay close attention to the marking of the anterior nasal spine, point A, nasion, sub nasal, and upper 1 points that are present in cleft regions.…”

Introduction: An area of dentistry called orthodontics focuses on repositioning crooked teeth and regulating facial development. Orthodontists and oral surgeons use cephalometric analysis as a planning tool for their patient care. Conventional film-based radiography equipment has been replaced with direct digital devices, which have advantages such as reduced patient radiation exposure, immediate radiographic image generation, the removal of the need for darkrooms, and simple image sharing. The second-most typical craniofacial abnormality that results in birth abnormalities is cleft lip and palate. Such patients frequently do not receive cephalometric testing because of their hypoplastic growth and limited development. Research is needed to help plan a standard treatment regimen, perform orthognathic operations, and use a low-radiation analysis technique. Objectives: To evaluate skeletal and dental parameters for cleft lip and palate using Down analysis, Steiner's analysis, and Tweed's analysis using Nemoceph. Methods: Around 50 cases from cleft lip and palate and non-cleft lip and palate will be selected from the orthodontics department of Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital. Steiner's, Down's, and Tweed's analyses will be evaluated using Nemoceph. Further analysis will be conducted using the observational data from the readings. There will be millimetre-based measurements made. Comparative analysis will be done with one-way ANOVA and post hoc statistics and regression analysis will be done for association of demographic variables. Expected outcomes: This study will use the nasion as a stable landmark to evaluate point A in cleft lip and palate patients, making it easier to perform normal cephalometric analysis. This will enable the evaluation of the probable position of point A for performing cephalometric analysis in orthodontics.

Background Clear aligners have been one of the most recent advancements in the field of orthodontics. With an increasing demand for aesthetics, the use of clear aligners has progressed, but knowledge is still lacking among the population. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the perception and awareness of health professional graduates regarding the use of clear aligners in orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods A draft questionnaire was formulated and validated consisting of eight open-ended questions assessing the perception of respondents and two close-ended questions assessing awareness of clear aligners. A web-based survey was performed. The sample (n=438) population included graduates of different health professions including medical (248), Ayurveda (114), nursing (18) and physiotherapy(58). A Google form was prepared and the link was circulated to all. The response was sought in terms of Likert scales. Results A total of 438 graduates responded to the questionnaire, of which 56% were from medical faculty, 26% from Ayurveda, 13.20% from physiotherapy, and 4.1% from nursing. On average, the awareness and perception of health professional graduates regarding the use of clear aligners in orthodontics was average to low. Among all the health professions, the graduates from the medical faculty showed maximum knowledge regarding clear aligners, whereas the awareness amongst the nursing students was the least. Conclusion On assessing the knowledge of health professional graduates from different faculties regarding clear aligners, statistically different results were found for responses from all faculties. Since it is one of the most recent advancements in the field of orthodontics, there is a need to bridge this knowledge gap among health professionals, which would help them guide their patients to seek the best treatment modality at the appropriate age.
