“…This finding was not supported by the present results, however, which showed no difference in frequency between the two types. Although the relationship between tooth absence and cleft patterns has been investigated in various studies 4,16,18,19) , the results have been inconsistent. This is most likely due to lateral incisors in the cleft region often being associated with agenesis, dislocation, extraction during surgery, impaction, or even oversight of a history of tooth extraction.…”

“…Therefore, it is possible that other factors contributed to the congenital absence of the maxillary lateral incisors. Earlier studies 14,19,21,23) have reported that mutations in the PAX9 and MSX1 genes cause tooth agenesis and cleft lip and palate, suggesting that some cases of alveolar clefts and tooth agenesis may have genetic etiologies. In this study, 4 unilateral cleft patients were noted in whom the lateral incisors were present on the cleft side but missing on the non-cleft side (present-absent, 2.4%).…”

“…Anomalies in the number and size of the teeth adjacent to the alveolar cleft region occur frequently in patients with cleft lip and palate 1,4,16,18,19) . Congenital absence of the maxillary lateral incisors in the cleft region is often involved in such cases.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the condition of the maxillary lateral incisors and evaluate the methods used for cleft closure in patients with cleft lip and palate, including the treatment of the maxillary lateral incisors. A total of 214 patients (260 clefts) with alveolar clefts who had started Phase II treatment and entered the maintenance period at the Department of Orthodontics at Tokyo Dental College, Chiba Hospital, between 1975 and 2014 were included. Panoramic, intraoral, and occlusal radiographs, as well as intraoral photographs and medical records, were used to investigate cleft classification, the presence or absence and location of maxillary lateral incisors, and frequency and treatment method for peg lateral incisors in the cleft region. There were more unilateral cleft cases (78.5%) than bilateral cleft cases. The prevalence of congenital absence of the maxillary lateral incisors was similar between unilateral (53.0%) and bilateral cases (53.3%). Peg laterals occurred frequently, with 89.9% occurring in unilateral cases. The maxillary lateral incisors were more commonly found in the secondary than in the primary palate. The number of non-extraction cases was larger than that of extraction cases, regardless of cleft type or the location of the peg laterals. In many cases, the peg laterals were treated with non-extraction and space closure or crown modification. These results suggest that, depending on their condition, the peg laterals should be preserved as much as possible in devising a treatment plan.
