Angulação radicular mesiodistal de caninos permanentes em crianças com fissura unilateral completa de lábio e palato

Resumo

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in mesiodistal angulation of the permanent canines in the mixed dentition. Thirty panoramic radiographs of children (21 male and 9 female) with mean age of 8 years and 11 months (ranging from 6 years and 10 months to 10 years and 4 months), with UCLP with only primary lip and palate surgeries performed, were retrospectively selected. The mesiodistal root angulation of the maxillary permanent canines (the cleft and non-cleft sides) and mandibular were measured with reference to the occlusal plane. The differences between genders, between the cleft and non-cleft sides and between right and left jaw were statistically analyzed by unpaired t test. The results indicated no influence of gender (P> 0.05) and pointed to a significant asymmetry in mesiodistal root angulation of the maxillary canine on the cleft side (P = 0.001). We conclude that the UCLP influenced mesiodistal root angulation of the maxillary canine adjacent to the cleft.
