“…In the current study, only two midline cleft type cases were observed and both cases showed bilateral agenesis of maxillary central and lateral incisors within the cleft. Our findings are in agreement with the previous studies.. 25 , 26 ) To our knowledge, very little information on the pattern of missing teeth in midline cleft type is present until now. 15 Moreover, maxillary central incisors are missing inside the cleft in CLPR, CLPL, CLPB and CLPM.…”

Objective: This retrospective, cross-sectional analytical study investigated the incidence of tooth agenesis in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) radiographs of the CLP children were examined for congenitally missing teeth. Method: This study was conducted at three radiology centers in Lahore, namely, the Pakistan Jinnah MRI and Body Scan Centre, the University of Lahore Radiology Centres, and Fatima Memorial Hospital, from September 2021 to August 2022. The CLP patients were divided into four groups based on the location of the cleft: Cleft Lip and Palate Right (CLPR), Cleft Lip and Palate Left (CLPL), Bilateral Cleft (CLPB), and Midline Cleft (CLPM), inside and outside the cleft region. Two-way ANOVA was employed to compare the means of agenesis. Tukey’s test was utilized to ascertain where the difference lies. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Moreover, a significant number of missing teeth were found inside the cleft. This study observed the CLPL (42.3%) and CLPR (13.6%) types more in number. Maxillary first premolars were found more missing outside the cleft region in CLPL and CLPB types. Although CLPB and CLPM types revealed a pattern of missing teeth, only a few cases were found in this study. Moreover, mean tooth agenesis was highest (4.5 SD.71) in the CLPM group, followed up by CLPB (2.75 SD 2.49), CLPR (1.23 SD 1.27), and CLPL Group (1.15 SD 1.12). Conclusions: Unilateral cleft lip and palate patients reported significant agenesis patttern compared to bilateral and median cleft cases. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.3.7997 How to cite this: Zaheer N, Shabaz M, Zaheer U, Wyne AH.
