Cleft lip and palate is the most common among craniofacial malformations and causes
several esthetic and functional implications that require rehabilitation. This paper
aims to generally describe the several aspects related to this complex pathology and
the treatment protocol used by the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial
Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP) along 40 years of experience in the
treatment of individuals with cleft lip and palate.
Mineral trioxide aggregate was superior to CH and equally as effective as FC as a pulpotomy dressing in primary mandibular molars. Internal resorption was the most common radiographic finding up to 24 month after pulpotomies performed with CH.
MTA and PC may serve as effective materials for pulpotomies of primary teeth as compared to CH. Although our results are very encouraging, further studies and longer follow-up assessments are needed in order to determine the safe clinical indication of Portland cement.
The results indicate that there was no correlation between dental erosion and the risk factors analysed among adolescents in Bauru/Brazil and further investigations are necessary to clarify the multifactorial etiology of this condition.
Treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate is completed with fixed prostheses,
removable, total, implants and aims to restore aesthetics, phonetics and function and
should be guided by the basic principles of oral rehabilitation, such as physiology,
stability, aesthetics, hygiene and the expectations of the patient. In order to
obtain longevity of a prosthetic rehabilitation, the periodontal and dental tissue as
well as the biomechanics of the prosthesis are to be respected. The purpose of this
article is to describe the types of prosthetics treatment, which are performed at
HRAC/USP for the rehabilitation of cleft area in adult patients.
These findings suggest that Low Level Laser Therapy may be considered as an adjuvant alternative for vital pulp therapy on human primary teeth. Low Level Laser Therapy preceding the use of calcium hydroxide showed satisfactory results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
