“…Although we found a predominance of female sex, this has not been confirmed in other studies (5,6,13). They are less frequent in patients with cleft lip or palate (14) and more prevalent in neonates with vaginal delivery (15). Presence and number of oral cysts has also been associated with colonization by Streptococcus mutans (11).…”

We performed a descriptive survey of 1,000 consecutive newborns cared for in the first 3 days of life in the health area of Ferrol (in northwest Spain) to assess the prevalence and most-frequent locations of oral cysts and milia and to study the influence of different maternal and neonatal parameters in the development of these lesions. Prevalence of palatal, gingival, and cutaneous cysts was 53.7%, 13.4%, and 16.6%, respectively. Milia were predominantly located on the cheeks, chin, and forehead. We found a frequent association between palatal and gingival cysts but not between oral cysts and milia. Neonatal factors such as sex, weight at birth, and gestational age can significantly influence the development of palatal and gingival cysts.

“…The oral cavity of the newborn may present gingival and palatal cysts of the newborn, natal and neonatal teeth at the region of complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate, which may be lateral incisors of the normal series or supernumerary teeth 1,25 . These teeth present superficial implantation and excessive mobility, thus their extraction is indicated because of the risk of aspiration, due to the communication between the oral and nasal cavities in this type of cleft 7 .…”

The aim of this article is to present the pediatric dentistry and orthodontic treatment protocol of rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate patients performed at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies - University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP). Pediatric dentistry provides oral health information and should be able to follow the child with cleft lip and palate since the first months of life until establishment of the mixed dentition, craniofacial growth and dentition development. Orthodontic intervention starts in the mixed dentition, at 8-9 years of age, for preparing the maxillary arch for secondary bone graft procedure (SBGP). At this stage, rapid maxillary expansion is performed and a fixed palatal retainer is delivered before SBGP. When the permanent dentition is completed, comprehensive orthodontic treatment is initiated aiming tooth alignment and space closure. Maxillary permanent canines are commonly moved mesially in order to substitute absent maxillary lateral incisors. Patients with complete cleft lip and palate and poor midface growth will require orthognatic surgery for reaching adequate anteroposterior interarch relationship and good facial esthetics.

Prevalence of Palatal and Alveolar Cysts in Babies with Cleft Lip and Palate

Abstract: The low prevalence of palatal and alveolar cysts in the four groups of babies with clefts included in this study may have been due to the high mean age of the sample.
