Dental anomalies frequency in submucous cleft palate versus complete cleft palate.

Background/objectives: This retrospective study evaluated the prevalence of dental anomalies of number in different subphenotypes of isolated cleft palate.

Materials/methods: The sample comprised 26 individuals with submucous cleft palate (group S) and 68 individuals with complete cleft palate (group C) aged between 9 and 12 years from a single centre. Panoramic radiographs were evaluated regarding the presence of dental anomalies of number in permanent teeth.

Changes in alveolar bone support induced by the Herbst appliance: a tomographic evaluation.

Objective: This study evaluated alveolar bone loss around mandibular incisors, induced by the Herbst appliance.

Methods: The sample consisted of 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean age of 15.76 ± 1.

Cone beam computed tomography study of apical root resorption induced by Herbst appliance.

Objective: This study evaluated the frequency of root resorption during the orthodontic treatment with Herbst appliance by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Material And Methods: The sample comprised 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean ages 15.76±1.

Prevalence of dental anomalies of number in different subphenotypes of isolated cleft palate.

Objective: This study aimed at carrying out a radiographic analysis on the prevalence of dental anomalies of number (agenesis and supernumerary teeth) in permanent dentition, in different subphenotypes of isolated cleft palate preadolescent patients.

Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 300 patients aged between 9 and 12 years, with cleft palate and enrolled in a single treatment center, were retrospectively analyzed. The sample was divided into two groups according to the extension/severity of the cleft palate: complete and incomplete.
