Objective: This study involved a retrospective review of treatment and management for cleft lip and palate patients before the completion of their primary dentition. These newborn cleft babies were assessed immediately in the craniofacial center, and referral for presurgical nasoalveolar molding was arranged if it was indicated. The aims of this study were to retrospectively investigate (1) the distributions of varied types of cleft among our patients, and (2) the repair treatment and relevant management for cleft patients before the completion of their primary dentition. Methods: Hospital records of newborn cleft lip and palate patients enrolled in Kaohsiung Chang Gung …

The surgical technique of choice in this patient was laterally positioned pedicle flap (LPF) combined with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) because of the area adjacent to the recession defect showed a great amount of attached gingiva and without interproximal bone loss. The complete root coverage in the surgical site was observed one year later. To the …

Objective: To retrospectively investigate the prevalence and patterns of tooth agenesis in permanent dentition of bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) children in Southern Taiwan. Patients: 156 Taiwan children (99 males and 57 females) with BCLP aged from 4 to18 years were selected from the craniofacial records between July, 1983 and June, 2008 in the Department of Orthodontics, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Materials and methods: Dental records including the panoramic radiographs, periapical films of anterior teeth, upper occlusal films and dental models of the selected patients were examined. Results: The prevalence of tooth agenesis of permanent dentition is 78.8%. …
