Dental anomalies And Facial Profile abnormality Of The Non-Syndromic Cleft Lip and Palate Children In Kelantan.

This study was done to determine the prevalence of dental anomalies and
facial profile abnormality and its association with the non-syndromic
cleft lip and palate (CLP) as compared to the non-cleft children. A
comparative cross sectional study was conducted where the case group
consist of 98 non-syndromic CLP children-unilateral (UCLP) and
bilateral (BCLP) who attended the Combined Clinic at Kota Bharu Dental
Clinic (KBDC) while the comparison group comprised of 109 non-cleft
children who attended the outpatient clinic at KBDC. Their ages were
between 3 to 12 years old. Clinical oral and facial profile
examinations were carried out to look for dental anomalies (morphology,
number and alignment of teeth) and facial profile abnormality. The
prevalence of anomalies in morphology of teeth in CLP (24.5%) and
non-cleft (10.1%), number of teeth in CLP (44.9%) and non-cleft (7.3%),
mal-alignment in CLP (79.6%) and non-cleft (27.5%) and facial profile
abnormality in CLP (26.5%) and non-cleft (9.1 %). There was a
significant association between CLP and anomalies in morphology,
number, mal-alignment and abnormality in facial profile; (p < 0.05).
Therefore, there was a high prevalence and risk of dental anomalies and
facial profile abnormality in the CLP children compared to the
non-cleft children
