Article Abstract
Introduction: Dental anomaly is one of the major problems in a child born with cleft lip and palate. These anomalies have deleterious effects on the dentition leading to aesthetic problems, impairment of mastication andimproper phonation. The aim of our study was to find out the prevalence of dental anomalies in patient with cleft lip and/or palate radiographically.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from the 208 radiographs, collected by the convenience samplingtechnique with cleft lip and/or palate in Department of Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Nepal Cleft and Burn Centre, Kirtipur Hospital from January 2017 to July 2019.Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from Institutional Review Committee. Demographic data were collected and radiographs were evaluated for possible dental anomalies. Data obtained were entered and analysed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.
Results: Dental anomalies were highly prevalent among cleft lip and palate patients with at least one anomaly present in 188 (90.4%) of patients with male 120 (57.4%) presenting more anomalies than female 88 (42.6%) population. The most common anomaly was dental agenesis 161 (77.9%). The prevalence of positional anomaly, morphological anomaly and supernumerary teeth were found to be 54 (26%), 33 (15.9%) and 20 (10%) respectively. Lateral incisor showed the highest incidence of agenesis among all other missing teeth 223 (65.2%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of dental anomalies among patients with cleft lip and/or palate was found to be high. Tooth agenesis was the most common anomaly observed in the study with lateral incisor having the highest incidence of agenesis.

Non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC) are common craniofacial birth defects, and result from both genetic and environmental factors. NSOC include three major sub-phenotypes: non-syndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP), non-syndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO) and non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO), NSCLP and NSCLO are also sometimes grouped as non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) based on epidemiology. Currently known loci only explain a limited proportion of the heritability of NSOC.

Background: Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) often exhibit unique anatomical variations in the pterygoid plates, which can influence fracture patterns at the pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ) during Le Fort I osteotomy. These differences may increase the risk of unfavorable fractures, complicating surgery and recovery.
Purpose: The study purpose was to measure the association between the osteotomy level with the PMJ fracture patterns in CLP patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy.

Background: Ring 18 chromosome is a rare chromosomal aberration associated with a wide range of symptoms affecting all organ systems. One possible symptom associated with this condition is an orofacial cleft. However, to date, there are very few reported cases where the cleft has been surgically treated.

Background: The purpose of this study was to analysis the nostril symmetry and nasal stability following secondary rhinoplasty performed with either nasal septal cartilage implantation (G1) or simple alar cartilage suspension and internal fixation (G2) in patients with unilateral secondary cleft nasal deformity.
Methods: Nostril and alar symmetry were analyzed retrospectively in 13 consecutive patients in G1 and 17 in G2. Assessment of three indexes was first performed using photogrammetric measurements of photographs at pre-operation(T1), 7 days after repair (T2), and at least 6 months after repair (T3).
