OBJECTIVE. To investigate cleft disordered tissue in children with cleft palate and cleft lip with or without alveolar clefting for detection of local tissue growth factors and growth factor receptors and compare findings. Design. Morphological analysis of human tissue. Patients. Three groups were studied: 14 patients with cleft palate at the age from eight months to 18 years and two months, 12...

Background Dental fear is a prevalent phenomenon among children and adolescents globally. Aim To investigate dental 18-year-olds with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) at their final follow-up clinic visit, to evaluate the association between OHRQoL. Design This cross-sectional study included cohort of CLP treated Oulu University Hospital Cleft Lip Palate Center, in northern Finland since 1995. A t...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from dental tissues have also been studied extensively recently due to their relatively easy availability. The researchers working on improving a method for regenerating alveolar bone in patients with cleft lip and palate utilizing mesenchymal human marrow (hBMSCs). A systematic literature review 2010 2022 was performed using PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect...

BACKGROUND Children with cleft lip and/or palate frequently experience feeding difficulties that may place them at risk of malnutrition. Parents' negative response to these problems is associated with development of problematic behaviors in the child. This study aimed to investigate feeding behavior in children with cleft lip and/or palate and parental responses to these problems. MATERIALS A...

OBJECTIVE To assess the overall and cause specific mortality of people from birth to 55 years with cleft lip and palate. DESIGN Long term follow up study. SETTING Danish register of deaths. PARTICIPANTS People born with cleft lip and palate between 1943 and 1987, followed to 1998. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Observed and expected numbers of deaths, summarised as overall and cause specific sta...

INTRODUCTION Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip or palate syndrome (OMIM No. 129900) is characterized by the triad of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and facial clefting (of the lip and/or palate). Holoprosencephaly denotes a failure in the division of the embryonic forebrain (prosencephalon) into distinct lateral cerebral hemisphere. The association between ectrodactyly-ectodermal ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze and display facial movement data from noncleft subjects and from patients with cleft lip and palate by using a new dynamic approach. The hypothesis was that there are differences in facial movement between the patients with cleft lip and palate and the noncleft subjects. SETTING Subjects were recruited from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry Orthodontic ...

PURPOSE The patients with cleft lip and palate have a higher risk of cervical vertebrae anomalies than do patients in general population. The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of various upper cervical spine anomalies in different type of clefts. PROCEDURES Lateral cephalograms of 128 patients (66 males, 62 females) with cleft lip and palate, and 125 (60 males, 65 females) ...

Previous studies have suggested that most fetuses diagnosed prenatally with cleft lip have multiple associated anomalies, that fetuses with isolated cleft lip/palate are uncommon, and that their ultimate outcome is poor (Lopoo, 1999). However, our clinical experience failed to make a similar connection. The purpose of this study was to examine the natural history and current outcomes of fetuses...
