“…The trans-foramen cleft was statistically more prevalent (p<0.05), which confirms the findings of the literature: on the study of Cymrot et al [6], 72.60% of the cases were of trans-foramen clefts; in the study of Freitas et al [10], 62.00% of cases; and Di Ninno et al [7], 49.00% of cases. The rationale behind this high frequency is that the environmental factors to which the embryo was exposed could affect both the primary development of lip and palate and the secondary palate, because although they are embryologically distinct processes, they occur in an approximate period.…”

“…The post-foramen cleft was significantly more frequent in females, which is reinforced by the findings of several studies [6,7,10,18]. Cymrot et al [6] found that 61.70% of post-foramen clefts occurred in the female gender, as well as Di Ninno et al [7] that reported 59.5% of prevalence.…”

“…The higher occurrence in males was also found in Brazil 22,23 and in other parts of the world 24,25 . Related to the type of cleft, the findings in this study confirm the predominance of the transforamen cleft, as observed by other researchers 2,15,21,22 .…”
