Assessment of transverse dental arch relationship and occlusion in surgically repaired unilateral cleft lip
and palate children

Alexandria University, Egypt
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the transverse dental arch relationship and occlusion in surgically
repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate children by Oslo protocol with those of healthy comparable non-cleft children in Egypt.
Study design : Comparative cross-sectional study design was used. Thirty-one non-syndromic children with repaired unilateral cleft
lip and palate with mean age of 7.35±1.52 years together with thirty-one healthy, comparable, non-cleft children were recruited from
Faculty of dentistry, Alexandria University. For each subject, sagittal molar and cuspid occlusion was measured from the dental study
casts. The buccolingual dental arch relationships were determined through the modified Huddart-Bodenham scoring system.
Results: Mesial step terminal plane and class III cuspid relation were significantly higher in UCLP children in the age group 4 to <6
years. Class III permanent molar and cuspid relations were significantly higher in UCLP children in both age groups 6 to <8 and 8
to <10 years. Modified Huddart-Bodenham showed significantly more negative total arch constriction score in 6-9-year old UCLP
children than in non-cleft children.
Conclusions: There was a predilection for most of UCLP children in all age groups to have mesial step terminal plane in primary
dentition, class III permanent molar relation in mixed dentition and Class III cuspid relations. Modified Huddart-Bodenham scores
revealed that UCLP children suffered from constricted maxillary arch in all age groups especially in the canine region.
