The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of caries in children with cleft lip and/or palate aged 6-36 months of life. This study was conducted at the University of São Paulo School of Dentistry, Brazil. A total of 143 children were selected (73 male, 70 female), all of whom had at least two erupted teeth. The children were distributed as follows: 88 had cleft lip and palate, 35 had cleft palate, 20 had cleft lip. Dental caries disease was diagnosed according to criteria set by the World Health Organization. It was observed that 18.9% of the study children had caries. No correlation between prevalence of caries and gender or type of cleft was observed. Mean dmf-t was 0.47. The prevalence of caries was higher in the upper arch, and the most affected tooth was the central incisor (p = 0.001). Children with cleft lip and/or palate did not have high caries indices.

ARTIGO CIENTÍFICOPrevalência da fissura de úvula em familiares de fissurados lábio-palatinos Cleft uvula prevalence in relatives of cleft lip and palate individuals RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a prevalência da fissura de úvula (FU) é maior em familiares de portadores de fissura labiopalatina em relação à população em geral. Esta pesquisa foi realizada com um grupo de estudo composto por 136 familiares de pacientes fissurados e com um grupo controle formado por 287 indivíduos sem história familiar de qualquer deformidade craniofacial. A metodologia consistiu em inspeção da cavidade oral por 2 examinadores, com luz direcionada ao palato posterior e auxílio de abaixador de língua e jatos de ar para elicitar o reflexo do vômito e definir e extensão da FU, segundo a classificação de Meskin. Os resultados mostraram que a prevalência da FU no grupo de estudo foi 2,9:100, sendo todas classificadas como parciais 25% de extensão, e no grupo controle 2,4:100, sendo que prevaleceu a parcial 25%. Concluiu-se que a FU não prevalece em familiares de portadores de fissuras labiopalatinas; não há correlação com o gênero e a fissura de úvula parcial 25% foi a mais incidente. ABSTRACTThe goal of this study was to verify if the prevalence of cleft uvula is higher in families of cleft palate individuals than in the general population. The study group was composed of 136 relatives of cleft individuals and the control group was composed of 287 individuals without family history of cleft palate. The methodology consisted of oral examination by two examiners, with depression of the tongue to elicit the vomit reflex and air jets to define the cleft extension according to Meskin's classification. The results showed that the study group presented a 2,9:100 prevalence of cleft uvula being all classified as partial 25% of extension and the control group showed a prevalence of 2,4:100, with higher occurrence of partial 25% of extension. In conclusion, the cleft uvula does not prevail in relatives of cleft palate individuals in relation to the general population, there is no sex correlation and the cleft uvula classified as partial 25% of extension has higher incidence.
Lopez MT. Evaluation of deformity midface in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate through Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and software OsiriX [thesis]. São Paulo, Faculdade de Odontologia; 2012. Versão original. The facial morphology of children born with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) have injuries of soft and hard tissues of nasomaxillary complex. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the bony structures of the midface of patients with complete unilateral CLP by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) using the OsiriX software. The sample consisted of CBCT in 28 children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate in which 19 on the left side and 9 on the right side, with a mean age of 9 years and 6 months. All CBCT were obtained immediately before the secondary alveolar bone graft after maxillary expansion. The structures analysis of the midface was performed using the OsiriX TM DICOM Viewer software, run on a personal computer MacBook Pro, with the operation system MAC OS X Version 10.6.8 Apple Inc. The hemifacial measurements were performed through the demarcation of seven pairs of bilateral points (Zf, Zy, Nm, Cn, J, Or and Po) and by the definition of the median sagittal and coronal planes. The facial asymmetry was verified becoming th side without cleft like the control side and the side cleft like the study side. The distance between each point was calculated in the referred plans for the sagittal and transverse dimensions, which the vertical was estimated by each point in the axial section. The data were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis by test the Wilcoxon signed-stations, with a significance level p0.050. The results showed a tendency of the cleft side be smaller than the noncleft for transverse evaluations. About the laterality of the cleft it was verified that the clefts on the left show higher degree of asymmetry transverse to the variables "Zf", "Nm", "Or" and "Zy". In the sagittal assessment, only "Cn" variable shows a statistically significant difference between the cleft side and noncleft, regardless of laterality of the cleft. Using estimated measurements with axial slices, due to the limitation of the software OsiriX TM , "Cn" also was the only variable to show statistical significance in the vertical assessment, independent of laterality of the cleft. It can be concluded that the software OsiriX TM has limitations in the assessments vertical. Patients with complete unilateral CLP had transverse asymmetries related to laterality of the cleft, mainly on the left side. The sagittal and vertical asymmetries were focused in the nasal region, independent of laterality of the cleft.
