Abstract
|
|
|
This study was undertaken to analyze the dimensional changes in dental arch form in surgically repaired complete unilateral cleft lip and palate(UCLP) patients. The material for this study was comprised of 25 adult subjects with repaired
unilateral
cleft lip and palate (13 male, 12 female) and 24 subjects (12 male, 12 female) having clinically normal occlusion and normal facial profile.
The age range was from 14 years to 21 years.
The dental arch dimensions were studied with the use of dental casts during the time of permanent dentition.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN (1) No stastistically significant differences were found between the arch dimensions of the male and female in control group.
(2) All maxillary dental arch dimensions (interdental widths and arch lengths) of the UCLP were significantly smaller than normal occlusion.
(3) The maxillary dental arch is characterized by a constriction that is more severe in the medial and anterior regions as a consequence of medial displacement of the palatal segments.
(4) Mandibular dental arch dimensions (interdental width and arch lengths) was similar to that o the normal occlusions.
