Late alveolar bone grafting in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP): Biomechanical considerations for the success of orthodontic finishing.

Orthodontic treatment in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) is challenging. Alignment of the maxillary segments and orthodontic levelling of the teeth adjacent to the cleft area are important before alveolar bone grafting (ABG), in the permanent dentition. In this clinical report, orthodontic procedures, before and after late ABG, are described as an alternative that can optimise the orthodontic and periodontal results.

[Malocclusions in children and adolescents from villages and native communities in the Ucayali Amazon region in Peru].

We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study to assess the prevalence of malocclusions in children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years of villages and native communities of the Ucayali jungle of Peru. We assessed the presence of malocclusions using Angle's classification and orthodontic changes. We evaluated 201 individuals, 106 (52.
