Is the Nasolabial Region Symmetric in Individuals With Cleft Lip and Palate?

Objective: To assess the nasolabial symmetry in smile and resting position in individuals with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and compare with Class I individuals without cleft lip and palate (CLP).

Materials And Methods: Frontal photographs of 40 individuals with UCLP (mean age 14.30 ± 0.

Relationship between disease awareness and severity of kidney disease in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.

Introduction: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is responsible for 5%-10% of end-stage renal disease. We examined the relationship between renal and extrarenal findings, disease severity, and the level of consciousness of PKD patients.

Methods: Patients were asked to answer the questionnaire about PKD.

Evaluation of the cervical vertebral anomalies in patients with cleft lip and palate in Aegean region of Turkey.

Objective: To identify the cervical vertebral anomalies in patients with cleft lip and palate, and to compare unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate.

Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted in 2018 at Department of Orthodontics, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, and comprised non-deteriorated lateral cephalometric radiographs of non-syndromic patients which showed the entire cervical spine. The radiographs were divided into two groups, with group A having those of patients with cleft lip and palate exposure, and control group B having those with non-exposure.

Maxillary Development in Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Compared with Individuals Having Skeletal Class I and Class III Malocclusion.

Aim: To compare maxillary development of individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) to individuals with skeletal Class I and Class III malocclusions.

Study Design: Cephalometric X-ray films from 90 patients (mean age: 13 ± 2.3 years) were used.

Maxillary protraction in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate : Evaluation of soft and hard tissues using the Alt-RAMEC protocol.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hard and soft tissue effects and differences of the Alt-RAMEC protocol to the facemask and conventional facemask protocols in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Methods: This prospective study was carried out with 30 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate with skeletal and dental class III malocclusions who were referred to a university department of orthodontics. The patients were evaluated with the cervical vertebral maturation method and divided into two groups, each consisting of 15 patients.

Visual perception of faces with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate: An Eye-Tracking Study.

Objectives: To test the hypotheses that there are differences between orthodontists, individuals with cleft lip and palate (CLP) and laypersons in the visual perception of faces with unilateral (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP), the faces with UCLP and BCLP are visually perceived differently and the hierarchy of visual attention changes when viewing individuals with CLP.

Setting And Sample Population: Department of Orthodontics and Experimental Psychology at Ege University, İzmir. Sixty images (faces with a social smile and at rest) of 30 volunteers (unaffected controls, UCLP, BCLP) were viewed by 80 participants: orthodontists, individuals with CLP and laypersons.
