20.500.12556/DiRROS-25128 Maxillary arch dimensions, occlusion assessment and space conditions in patients with cleft palate in the period of deciduous dentition - a retrospective study Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the maxillary arch dimensions, dentoalveolar relationships and spacing conditions in patients with cleft palate in comparison with the control group. Methods The subjects consisted of 31 children with cleft palate only (CP) aged 5.5 ± 0.51 (20 with a cleft of hard and soft palate (SHPC group) and 11 with a cleft of soft palate only (SHP group)). In the control group 30 subjects had a normal occlusion at age 5. Maxillary arch dimensions, dentoalveolar relationship according to the Huddard Bodenham index (HBI) and space conditions were compared with the control group. Results In all variables of maxillary arch dimensions except for total arch height the control group exhibited greater values. Most of the significant differences were on account of differences between the control and the SHPC group, with only three comparisons yielding significant results when comparing the two groups of children with clefts (SHPC vs SPC, IV-IV central: pDunnett T3= 0.0002, 95%CIDifference=-9.9-(-3.18); V-V distopalatal cusps: pDunnett T3= 0.0002, 95%CIDifference=-9.97-(-3.17); Total arch length: pDunnett T3= 0.0014, 95%CIDifference=1.74-7.85). The three groups differed significantly in anterior HBI only (HKruskal-Wallis=15.56, p=0.0067). The spacing conditions in both jaws were also shown to be significantly dependent on the group of subjects studied (Upper jaw: χ2omnibus= 16.79, p=0.0018; lower jaw: χ2omnibus= 13.75, p=0.0102). Conclusions The growth of the upper dental arch at the age of five is impeded in participants with CP in comparison to a control group. It is important to assess the effect of cleft subtypes on growth and development to get a better understanding. cleft palate maxillary arch dimensions Huddard Bodenham index razcepljeno nebo dimenzije maksilarnega loka Huddardov Bodenhamov indeks true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-01-12 12:07:26 2026-01-12 12:07:27 2026-01-13 03:45:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis z dne 16. 12. 2022; str. 1-9 iss. 1, suppl. 1 Vol. 124 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.31 2468-7855 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.101356 134261251 RAZ_Sajovic_Jakob_2023.pdf RAZ_Sajovic_Jakob_2023.pdf 1 41CD3390C89D1A914F035137710C4241 ae4a8e6408c9039d8ad6a98417f0c8ecf92841be8916e3bf6c34a6bcf60e500d 08d787b8-efa7-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37848 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S246878552200369X 1 e42ac349-efa6-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37847 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
