“…Mandibular incisor inclinations were increased with respect to the occlusal plane in cleft patients with retrusive projection values relative to the TVL. In agreement with the findings of the present study, there is consensus in the literature on the retrusive position of the mandibular incisors ( 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ) which is compensation to retroclined maxillary incisors due to the pressure exerted by the taut repaired lip. Also, the pressure exerted by the retroclined premaxilla could play a part in this retrusion since SNA angle was significantly lower in both of our cleft groups compared to the controls.…”

“…However flatter nose tip in cleft individuals leading to reduced nasal projection affects the location of E-plane, forming the impression of protrusive lower lip whereas it is actually normal or retrusive. Similarly Moreira et al ( 5 ) used sn’ point in constructing the reference plane, yet, the subnasale region of cleft individuals are already altered significantly with reduced maxillary height and depth, deficient nasal, upper lip and maxillary morphology as a result of surgical scars and tissue deficiencies with deviated anterior nasal spine ( 18 , 23 , 24 , 25 ). Hence an erroneous fiducial line would bias the results.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to compare the mandibular hard and soft tissue measurements of unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients with non-cleft individuals.Materials and Methods:The study sample comprised of lateral cephalograms of 45 subjects. Sample included 15 non-cleft (NC), 15 unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and 15 bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) cases whose age were between 15 to 17. 1 angular 13 linear measurements were carried out using Arnett and Gunson soft tissue cephalometric analysis and 4 angular measurements were calculated with Steiner Analysis.Results:Mandibular incisor inclinations relative to the occlusal plane (Md1-Md OP) were significantly greater and mandibular incisor projections (Md1-TVL) were significantly retrusive in cleft subjects (p<0.05). Projection values pertaining to lower lip anterior (LLA-TVL), soft tissue B point (B’-TVL), and soft tissue pogonion (Pog’-TVL) were significantly deficient as well in cleft patients (p<0.05). Sagittal position of the maxilla (SNA) (p<0.001) and intermaxillary relation of the jaws (ANB) were significantly deficient in UCLP subjects (p<0.05) and BCLP individuals (p<0.01). LLA-TVL and B’-TVL correlated with SNB in cleft patients (p<0.05).Conclusion:Decreased lower lip and chin projection values suggest that mandibular region of cleft patients should be taken into account in forming the treatment plan to improve the esthetic outcome of orthodontic and plastic surgery interventions.

“…Celikoglu et al (17) found that the soft tissue thickness measurements at the lower anterior face for men were higher in all vertical growth patterns compared with the values for the women. In another study they found that all soft tissue thickness measurements in men were higher than those in women (19). However, statistically significant gender differences were not found for all values in each skeletal class (Class I, Class II, Class III).…”

“…10 The Houston and correlation analyses confirmed the high reliability of the variable values as previously reported for the CBCT images of the twoand three-dimensional measurements. 10,11,18,[26][27][28][29][30][31] Comparing right and left sides for the CH, RH, and CH + RH values in the high-, low-, and normal-angle groups showed only a slight difference of approximately 0.5 mm for CH in the low-angle group (P , .05), indicating an almost symmetrical posterior vertical height of the mandible in all studied groups. Similarly, no statistically significant differences were reported for right and left sides in patients with or without any malocclusion.…”
