Abstract
Objective: To compare the oral hygiene and gingival health of children with and without cleft lip and palate.
Patients/participants: This study was conducted on 108 children aged 6 to 12 years, divided into 3 groups: Group 1 = children with cleft lip and alveolus with or without cleft palate, unilateral or bilateral (n = 36, 22 boys and 14 girls, aged 8, 39 ± 1.61 years), Group 2 = children with isolated cleft palate (n = 36, 8 boys and 28 girls, 8.11 ± 1.88 years); and Group 3 = children without clefts (n = 36, 18 boys and 18 girls, 8.53 ± 1.33 years).
Main outcome measures: The clinical parameters evaluated were Gingival Index (GI) and Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) Index. analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to evaluate intergroup differences. Correlations between the variables age, PHP Index and GI were assessed by the Spearman correlation (P < .05).
Results: The results demonstrated no statistically significant difference between the three groups for the PHP index (P = .126). There was also no intergroup difference for GI (P = .418).
Conclusions: No difference for the gingival status was observed between children with cleft lip and palate and with isolated cleft palate. Children with oral clefts present adequate gingival status compared to noncleft children.
期刊介绍：
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ) is the premiere peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to current research on etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in all areas pertaining to craniofacial anomalies. CPCJ reports on basic science and clinical research aimed at better elucidating the pathogenesis, pathology, and optimal methods of treatment of cleft and craniofacial anomalies. The journal strives to foster communication and cooperation among professionals from all specialties.
