1/39. counseling dilemmas in EEC syndrome.In this report we describe a prenatally diagnosed case with four-limb ectrodactyly and cleft lip/palate. The family history reveals three-generation oligodontia. The difficulties in counseling of the families with EEC syndrome are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/39. Dental rehabilitation using endosseous implants and orthognathic surgery in patients with cleft lip and palate: report of two cases.We describe the use of endosseous implants in the autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow grafted alveoli after orthognathic surgery for dental rehabilitation of patients with cleft lip and palate. This procedure has been applied to two patients and produced good results functionally and aesthetically. The results are encouraging and indicate that implant placement after orthognathic surgery is useful for patients both with congenital missing teeth and retrognathic maxillae.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/39. The dentofacial manifestations of XXXXY syndrome: a case report.This paper presents a six-year-old patient with XXXXY syndrome, whose oral findings included a cleft soft palate, hyper- or meso-taurodontism in eight primary molars and in the mandibular permanent first molars, five congenitally missing premolars, and delayed development of the permanent tooth germs. The maxillary and mandibular primary central incisors were in a cross-bite relationship. Cephalometric findings showed a short ramus of the mandible and a short maxilla in the anterioposterior plane. The anteroposterior jaw relationship was in harmony. The cross-bite was considered to be due to the retroinclination of the maxillary primary incisors. This case emphasises the importance of regular dental care, and monitoring of facial growth and dental development in children with XXXXY syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/39. Van der Woude syndrome with mental retardation: case report.A report of a four and half-year old African patient with Van der Woude syndrome and mental retardation is reported. In addition to cleft lip/palate, hypodontia and lower lip pits; features consistent with Van der Woude syndrome, he manifested features consistent with growth and mental retardation. A genetic basis for these associated features can only be determined by detailed karyotype studies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/39. The reconstruction of bilateral clefts using endosseous implants after bone grafting.This article presents the orthodontic reconstruction of an adult bilateral cleft patient with a severe Class III malocclusion in which endosseous implants were inserted after secondary alveolar bone grafting. The patient was a 21-year-old Japanese male whose lateral incisors were congenitally missing and whose premaxilla was inclined lingually. The occlusion was classified as Angle Class III with an overjet of -8 mm. Orthodontic alignment was initiated to correct the position of the maxillary incisors before bone grafting. After the anterior occlusal relationship was corrected, bilateral alveolar clefts were reconstructed by bone grafting with autogenous particulate marrow and cancellous bone harvested from the iliac crest. ITI-SLA fixtures (Institute Straumann, Waldenburg, switzerland) (length, 10 mm; diameter, 4.1 mm) were placed into the grafted bone for prosthetic restoration of the missing lateral incisors. The results illustrate that this protocol can be expected to provide an acceptable occlusion and good dentoalveolar stability in adult cleft patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.4191870621755keywords = cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/39. adolescent dentistry: multidisciplinary treatment for the cleft lip/palate patient.Congenital labiomaxillary clefts result from the absence or incomplete fusion of the maxillary and medial nasal processes with resultant hard and soft tissue defects. Comprehensive treatment of these defects requires the collaborative efforts of surgeons, orthodontists, restorative clinicians, and laboratory technicians. Precise periodontal and orthodontic treatments must be carefully coordinated with the restorative plan to ensure sufficient space and tissue architecture for the definitive restorations. This article describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a cleft lip/palate patient using conservative fixed and removable restorative options to provide aesthetic restoration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5.4884552945965keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/39. The Kabuki syndrome: four patients with oral abnormalities.The aim of this paper is to report the oral signs and symptoms of four patients with Kabuki syndrome. All had oral abnormalities affecting the palate, teeth, and/or lips, including wide spacing between the teeth, screwdriver-shaped upper incisors, hypodontia, delayed tooth eruption, narrow spacing in the upper canine area, large pulp chambers of the upper incisors and permanent molars, external root resorption of the upper central incisors and permanent molars, a division of the lower third of the root canal in normally one-rooted teeth, tooth retention, retrognathia of the upper jaw, a high palate or cleft lip/palate, and microforms of lower lip fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.023089410807keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/39. De novo inv(2)(p12q34) associated with Klippel-Feil anomaly and hypodontia.The present case report describes a patient with Klippel-Feil anomaly (KFA) and oligodontia, carrying a de novo pericentric inversion of chromosome 2 (p12q34). KFA is characterised by congenital vertebral fusion of the cervical spine and a wide spectrum of associated anomalies. It therefore constitutes a heterogenous group of clinical conditions and has been classified morphologically, although its aetiology remains unclear. We present an 18-year-old female with KFA, associated with congenital impairment of hearing, psychomotor retardation, speech limitation, short stature, spinal scoliosis, facial asymmetry and latent hypothyroidism. No renal anomaly or heart disease was present. In addition, she exhibited oligodontia of both the deciduous and permanent dentition, a unique characteristic that has not yet been reported in any non-cleft palate KFA case. CONCLUSION: The current report of a patient with oligodontia and an inversion on chromosome 2 may aid in the identification of novel genes for oligodontia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1341525649982keywords = cleft palate, palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/39. Dental management of a child with EEC syndrome.The EEC syndrome is a condition characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and clefting of the lip and/or palate. Here we report a case of a boy with the EEC syndrome. The clinical and radiologic aspects of this condition, as well as the dental treatment, are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/39. Aesthetic tooth modification for patients with cleft lip and palate.Alongside orthodontic treatment, tooth shape modification may be indicated for teeth associated with clefts of the lip and alveolus, and in non-carious teeth, minimal tooth preparation techniques appear to be most appropriate. Two methods of tooth shape modification are described. In one, hybrid composite materials, bonded to tooth enamel using the acid-etch technique, may be considered to provide a permanent, low cost, aesthetically satisfactory result, often without tooth preparation and with minimal operating time. Alternatively, indirect veneers may be appropriate for treatment of more severely malformed teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4.4884552945965keywords = palate, cleft (Clic here for more details about this article) |
