- Abstract
Objective: This study assesses the degree of root curvature in patients with non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P). Design: Retrospective. Case-control study. Setting: Root curvature was assessed in lower premolars and molars in 800 panoramic radiographs: 400 from patients with cleft and 400 from healthy control individuals. Root curvature was classified according to its angulation, as well as its apical, medial, or coronal localization. Results: The frequency of mild curvature in the NSCL/P group compared to the control group was higher in premolars especially in the left second premolar in cleft palate (OR: 6.91; 95% CI: 3.23−14.77; P <.0001). The frequency of moderate curvature in molars was significantly higher in the cleft group, with the highest risk in the right first molar in the cleft lip group (OR: 2.74; 95% CI: 1.67−4.52; P <.0001). Inclination was more frequently observed in the apical third of the root in the group with cleft, whereas for the control group, the curvature was more frequent in the medial third. In patients with cleft, the OR of curvature in the apical third was significant in premolars (left lower second premolar: Cleft lip, OR: 1.91; 95% CI: 1.04−3.52; P =.03; right lower second premolar: Cleft lip, OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.04−3.50; P =.03, cleft lip and palate, OR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.12−2.73; P =.01). Conclusion: The results of the current study indicate differences in root curvature in patients with non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate, which should be considered during the dental treatment planning of patients.
