Introduction: It is assumed that the critical period for diagnosis of hearing disorders is the baby's first three months of life and that appropriate course and implementation of treatment and/or rehabilitation should begin before a child is six months old. However various kinds of problems may occur during auditory screening of a child may exceed this interval. This problem is particularly pronounced among children with development and health problems and leads to unreliable and varied results.
Aim: The aim of this study was an analysis of prevalence of difficulties occurring during the first year of auditory screening among groups of children with congenital hearing impairment.
Material And Methods: Patients were examined in The Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program in the years 2012 - 2013 in Level III NICUs in Krakow. Results from 250 cases were analyzed retrospectively. Medical exam results of patients with high risk of hearing loss were also included in our analysis. The groups of children included in our study were: children with Down Syndrome, children with nervous system disorders , children with cleft palate or both cleft palate and lip and children with congenital CMV.
Results: In the group of children with cleft palate or both cleft palate and lip the most frequent cause of not conducting objective audiometric tests was bad health condition of a child which precluded his arrival for administering the tests. The most common cause of difficulties in performing hearing tests was the emotional state of children from groups with Down Syndrome. In the group of children with congenital CMV the most common cause of difficulties was a lack of availability of their parents.
Conclusions: 1. We encountered the greatest diagnostic difficulties during the child's first year of life in chosen high-risk groups of children with congenital hearing loss in children with cleft palate or both cleft palate and lip. 2. The highest prevalence of not finished tests was in III and IV interval for all chosen high-risk groups with congenital hearing loss.

Age determination by measurement of pulp volume of canine teeth in patients with cleft lip and palate: a retrospective study.
Oral Radiol

Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: This study evaluates the potential of pulp volume/total tooth-volume measurements of canine teeth in relation to chronologic age in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). The significance of this study lies in its exploration of the usability of these measurements for age determination in CLP patients, providing a novel perspective to the existing literature.
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography images of 33 patients (16 females, 17 males) with unilateral CLP aged 14-45 years and 33 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals (16 females, 17 males) were retrospectively evaluated.

Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) are prevalent congenital anomalies with complex genetic causes. The G874A mutation of T-box transcription factor 22 (TBX-22) gene is notably associated with CL/P, while the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. Studies have shown that the restriction of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) process in medial edge epithelial cells (MEEs) is crucial for CL/P development.

Background: Monitoring hospitalization rates associated with oral health conditions is an important part of epidemiological surveillance, especially when these conditions have increased significantly in low-and middle-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate the temporal trends in hospital discharges associated with oral health-related conditions in Ecuador from 2000 to 2023 and identify the leading diagnoses groups.
Methods: An ecological time-series study was conducted based on annual data from the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of Ecuador.
Vertical Mandibular Asymmetry in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Comparative Analysis With Skeletal Class III and Class I Malocclusions.

Introduction Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) often leads to maxillary hypoplasia and skeletal Class III malocclusion, with conflicting evidence on mandibular asymmetry. This study evaluated vertical mandibular asymmetry in UCLP patients, comparing them with non-cleft individuals having skeletal Class III and Class I malocclusions. Methods Mandibular asymmetry was evaluated using orthopantomograms (OPGs) from 90 subjects divided into three groups of 30 each: UCLP group, non-cleft skeletal Class III, and non-cleft skeletal Class I.
