| Abstract | |
Tooth abnormalities of the lateral incisor are very common in individuals with cleft lip and palate. Several studies in the literature report the frequent occurrence of hypodontia, yet the recurrence of this alteration in the deciduous and permanent dentitions in the same individual has not been analyzed so far. Methods: A pilot study was conducted on 100 radiographs evaluated twice with a two-week interval, which revealed substantial to nearly perfect agreement. Panoramic and periapical radiographs of the cleft area of individuals obtained at different moments, available in the files of HRAC/USP, were analyzed to compare the recurrence of these anomalies in the deciduous and permanent dentitions until a sample of 1,000 individuals was achieved. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics and compared by the Fisher test. Results: 67.6% of individuals presented clefts on the left side, 62.9% were males and 12.2% had a Simonarts band. For the permanent dentition, there was significant difference in the occurrence of hypodontia and hiperdontia between genders, yet there was no difference between genders concerning tooth implantation mesial or distal to the cleft. In the deciduous dentition hypodontia was observed in 24.7% of individuals with clefts on the left side and 21.91% on the right side, without association with the cleft side (p=0.3423). In the permanent dentition there was hypodontia in 45.56% of individuals with clefts on the left side and 37.65% on the right side, with association with the cleft side (p=0.02028). The prevalence of hypodontia on the cleft side was 23.8% in the deciduous dentition and 43.0% in the permanent dentition. When present, there was predominance of implantation of the lateral incisor distal to the cleft in both dentitions, with significant association between dentitions (p=0.01231). The Simonarts band did not influence the occurrence of hypodontia of the lateral incisor nor the implantation mesial or distal to the cleft. Conclusions: There was significant association between dentitions for the occurrence of both hypodontia and hiperdontia (p<0.01 and p=0.01366, respectively); there was association between dentitions for the occurrence of hypodontia and hyperdontia, with higher probability of recurrence for hypodontia. This knowledge will allow better counseling and scientifically based information to the parents, which are often concerned about the possibility of hypodontia of the permanent lateral incisor in early ages, frequently leading to unnecessary radiographic exposure.
