Prevalence of Simonart's band in cleft children at a cleft center in Indonesia: A nine-year retrospective study.

Background: Simonart's band is a soft tissue band that connects the cleft gap of the base of the nostril or the margin of the alveolus. While research on the prevalence of Simonart's band in cleft lip and palate cases has been carried out in various countries, research on Simonart's band in Indonesia has yet to be conducted.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of different types of Simonart's band at a cleft center in Indonesia.

Genotyping analysis of the Gene in patients with maxillary canine impaction.

: Paired-box gene 9 ( ) mutation is potentially associated with impaction in some patient populations. Here, we analyzed the relationship between polymorphism and the occurrence of maxillary canine impaction. : Patients with and without maxillary canine impaction were selected based on specific inclusion criteria, and samples of genomic DNA were obtained from a buccal mucosa swab.
