Description
Summary:Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the number of teeth in the premaxilla (cleft area) and to assess the presence of tooth agenesis with the ultimate goal of finding whether differences existed in the two suggested subtypes of nonsyndromic bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients. Settings and Design: A retrospective comparative study was conducted, where cone- beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 22 BCLP patients (10 males and 12 females, with age range 8 to 14, mean age 9.6 years) obtained from archive of Cleft Clinic, affiliated to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt were assessed. Subjects and Methods: CBCT images were divided into two subtypes: Group (P) - this represents BCLP characterized by well-developed (P) prominent premaxilla and SNA >80 ± 2 and Group (R) - this represents BCLP characterized by ill-developed (R) rudimentary premaxilla and SNA
