Abstract

The purpose of this study is a longitudinal assessment of dimensions' changes of the dental arches of children with cleft lip and palate. The sample will be consisted of digital models of patients with complete cleft lip (Group 1), complete cleft lip and palate (Group 2) and complete cleft palate (Group 3), obtained at the phase before lip repair (Phase 1), before palate repair (Phase 2), at 1 year after palate repair (Phase 3) and at 5-years-old (Phase 4). The measure of dental arch will be obtained of the dental models and digitized using a Scanner 3Shape's R700TM and and analyzed using specific software stereophotogrammetry. The following measures will be obtained: area of the dental arch, fissure area, intercanine distance, intertuberosity distance, anterior-posterior arch depth. Student's t-test and analysis of variance, followed by Tukey test will be used to determine the significance of differences between groups within the same assay. If necessary, other tests may be applied. The significance level of 5% will be adopted for the differences considered statistically significant.
