牙槽突裂的牙颌特性和修复计划制定

目的:分析研究牙槽突裂牙颌特性,制定相应的治疗计划。方法 :口腔颌面外科医师与正畸科医师共同会诊,记录129例患者的临床检查结果(牙位,咬合关系,有无多生牙、畸形牙、残根残冠,尖牙的萌出情况,牙弓形态,裂隙的宽窄等),分析影像学资料及牙颌模型,制定手术或手术前治疗计划。结果:可按期植骨组为45例(34.9%),延期植骨组为84例(65.1%)。在延期植骨组中,51例患者(39.5%)需要术前正畸,44例患者(34.1%)需要术前拔牙,11例患者(8.5%)需要术前修复较大的腭部穿孔。按期植骨组中:单侧唇裂伴牙槽突裂患者(unilateral cleft lip and alveolus,UCLA)最多,其次为双侧唇腭裂伴牙槽突裂患者(bilateral cleft lip and palate,BCLP),然后是单侧唇腭裂伴牙槽突裂患者(unilateral cleft lip and palate,UCLP)。而需要术前正畸干预的延期植骨组中,患者数量比较BCLP>UCLP>UCLA;需要拔牙的延期植骨患者数量UCLP>BCLP>UCLA;需要修复硬腭前部瘘口的患者数量BCLP>UCLP。结论:除年龄因素外,牙槽突裂患者的牙颌特性对手术的成功率有重大影响,也应作为选择治疗时机的重要参考。     

Cross-sectional study of the length of the nasal bone in cleft lip and palate subjects.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the human nasal bone length in newborns and male adults with cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to compare the results to previous findings in prenatal material. DESIGN: This study was a radiographic profile cephalometric cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Profile radiographs from 60 newborns with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1 in each group (20 CL, 20 CP, and 20 UCLP) and 60 male adults (20 CL, 20 CP, and 20 UCLP) were randomly selected among radiographs, taken for optimizing the treatment planning. The nasal bone lengths (n-na) were measured with a digital caliper on the profile radiographs. To compare the nasal bone lengths in the different cleft groups, Student's t tests at a significant level at 5% were performed. RESULTS: Nasal bone length was significantly shorter in male adult patients with CL compared with patients with CP. Furthermore, the nasal bone length was significantly shorter in newborns with CL (2 months) compared to newborns with UCLP (2 months). A borderline significance was seen in the comparison of patients with CL and UCLP in male adults. There was no significant difference in the nasal bone length between the patients with CP and UCLP, in either the newborns or the male adults. CONCLUSIONS: Nasal bone length was significantly shorter in subjects with CL compared with subjects in whom the palate was clefted. The results show that the clefted lip in CL is associated with a subjacent skeletal deviation in the upper midface.     

Craniofacial morphology in children with operated complete unilateral cleft lip and palate

The objective of the study was to compare the craniofacial characteristics of children with operated unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) with those of noncleft children. Lateral and posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs of subjects with UCLP and controls who were matched for sex, age, and ethnic origin were analyzed and compared. There were a total of 21 subjects with UCLP (10 boys and 11 girls) from the Orthodontic Department of Selcuk University and 15 controls (7 boys and 8 girls) from the Orthodontic Department of Ankara University. The nasal bone length in the group with cleft did not differ significantly from that in the control group. Subjects with UCLP included in the study appeared to have shorter faces, smaller mandibulae, greater lateral orbital width, and smaller sella turcicae compared with controls. Unilateral cleft lip and palate affects the intracranial morphology as well as dentofacial structures.     

Retrognathic maxilla in individuals born with oral clefts is due to intrinsic factors and not only due to early surgical treatment

ObjectivesTo determine if the skeletal form of individuals born with oral clefts was associated with maxillary position.Materials and MethodsLateral cephalometric radiographs of 90 individuals 8 to 12 years old born with or without cleft lip and palate paired by age and sex were used. Skull base length, cranial base angle, cranial deflection angle, and maxillary skeletal length and position were studied. Also, mandibular skeletal length and position, lower anterior facial height, and dental position were defined. Individuals were divided into three groups: 30 individuals born with cleft lip and palate with Class III malocclusion (UCLP Class III), 30 individuals born with cleft lip and palate with Class I malocclusion (UCLP Class I), and 30 individuals born without cleft lip and palate with Class III malocclusion (non-cleft Class III).ResultsWhen comparing the UCLP Class III group with the UCLP Class I group, there were differences in maxillary position (P < .001) and mandibular position (P = .004) found. No differences were found when comparing the UCLP Class III group with the non-cleft Class III group.ConclusionsThere are intrinsic factors that affect craniofacial morphology of individuals born with cleft lip and palate.     

A cephalometric evaluation of lower lip in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate cephalometrically the lower lip position and area of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) comparatively with Class I skeletodental normal subjects. PATIENTS: Lateral cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs obtained from 24 patients with UCLP (mean age 12.86 years), along with 20 normal individuals (mean age 12.33 years) used as a control group, were examined. DESIGN: In addition to standard cephalometric dentofacial variables, lower lip area (superior, middle, inferior) was also measured using a digital planimeter on the lateral cephalograms. RESULTS: The superior and middle part of the lower lip areas were significantly smaller (p < .05) in the UCLP group, compared to the control group. The inferior and total lower lip areas of patients with UCLP were found to be significantly smaller than controls. The labiomental angle was also smaller (38.79 degrees). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the lower lip of patients with UCLP is smaller, retruded, and curved, with a deep labiomental sulcus, compared with normal individuals during puberty. Therefore, practitioners should focus not only on the upper lip of patients with UCLP but also should consider the lower lip as it was found distinct from normal individuals during puberty.

目的观察唇腭裂患者颈椎异常的影像学表现，统计颈椎异常在唇腭裂患者中的比例及分布情况。材料与方法实验组304名6岁以上唇腭裂患者（男191人，女113人），对照组6岁以上非唇腭裂223人（男132人，女91人），应用头颅侧位片观察颈椎异常的表现。结果颈椎异常的表现类型分为后弓发育缺陷和融合两大类，其中，后弓发育缺陷分为椎弓裂、发育不足和寰枢对位不良三个亚类，融合分为寰枕融合和椎体融合两个亚类。寰枢对位不良在以往的研究中未曾报道。实验组中，55人（18．1％）发现颈椎异常，对照组中19人（8．5％）发现颈椎异常，差异有显著性。结论颈椎异常的表现类型分为后弓发育缺陷和融合两大类，发现新的表现类型寰枢对位不良。颈椎异常在唇腭裂患者中的发生比例高于非唇腭裂人群，差异有显著性。     

Comparison of facial morphology in two populations with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate from two different centers.

OBJECTIVE: To identify differences in craniofacial morphology of two populations with a history of complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) treated under different protocols. DESIGN: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING: Cleft Center of the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and the Cleft Lip and Palate Program, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. SUBJECTS: Nineteen patients (16 male, 3 female) from Nijmegen and 19 patients (16 male, 3 female) from Toronto. Each patient was matched for sex and age with a patient from the other group. The mean ages at which lateral cephalometric radiographs were available for the Nijmegen group were 5.5, 9.9, and 18.3 years, while for the Toronto group these were available at mean ages of 5.3, 10.1, and 18.3 years, respectively. Eighteen patients from the Nijmegen group received an alveolar bone graft at a mean age of 9.5 years (range 8.2 to 13.5 years). None of the patients from Toronto received bone grafts. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Eighteen cephalometric variables per radiograph were calculated at each time registration, using Dentofacial Planner cephalometric software. Statistical evaluation was performed with repeated-measures analysis of variance. RESULTS: No differences were seen in the maxillary measurements. The patients in the Toronto group had significantly larger mandibles at all three time registrations. CONCLUSIONS: The Nijmegen and Toronto protocols resulted in similar maxillary projections in patients with UCLP. Comparison of data from other studies supports the contention that the larger profile convexity of the Nijmegen group is a reflection of a genetically determined smaller mandibular size in the Dutch population.

Changes of vertical skeletal morphology in patients with complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective investigation was to qualify and quantify changes of the vertical skeletal morphology during puberty in cleft patients compared with an age-matched noncleft control. METHODS: Patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP; n = 12) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP; n = 11) who fulfilled strict inclusion criteria according to the Hanover treatment protocol were evaluated by means of cephalometric analysis. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed for each cleft patient at age 10 and 15 and compared with corresponding data of a noncleft control (n = 20). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that a vertical growth impairment of the maxilla is found in patients with cleft lip and palate. The maxilla of cleft patients shows a significant clockwise rotation, whereas the inclination of the mandible shows little difference. Consequently, there is a skeletal superposition of the jaws. The posterior height of the maxilla is significantly shorter in patients both with UCLP and BCLP at T(0) and T(1). An increase of the anterior height of the mandible is found in the cleft groups.
