Apical incisor root resorption due to ectopic maxillary canine eruption: Association with time of diagnosis and type of intervention in a retrospective population-based cohort study.

Objectives: The primary aim was to study upper incisor severe apical root resorption (RR) related to ectopic canine eruption and its association with timing of diagnosis and type of intervention conducted. The secondary aim was to correlate resorption with other dental anomalies.

Materials And Methods: Digital journals and radiographic material of all ectopic maxillary canines registered in 2012 in the regional public paediatric dental clinics in the Council of Aarhus were inspected retrospectively.

Scandcleft trial of primary surgery for unilateral cleft lip and palate: Craniofacial cephalometrics at 8 years.

Background: The Scandcleft trial is a randomized controlled trial that includes children with unilateral cleft lip and palate where registrations are standardized and therefore provides the opportunity to describe craniofacial characteristics in a very large sample of patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe craniofacial growth and morphology in a large study sample of 8-year-old children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP); before orthodontic treatment and before secondary alveolar bone grafting; and to compare the cephalometric values with age-matched non-cleft children from previous growth studies to identify the differences between untreated cleft- and non-cleft children.

Materials: There are 429 eight-year-old UCLP patients in the Scandcleft study group.

Do Infant Cleft Dimensions Have an Influence on Occlusal Relations? A Subgroup Analysis Within an RCT of Primary Surgery in Patients With Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate.

Aim: To investigate whether infant cleft dimensions, in a surgical protocol with early or delayed hard palate closure, influence occlusion before orthodontics.

Design: Subgroup analysis within a randomized trial of primary surgery (Scandcleft).

Setting: Tertiary health care.

Influence of Infant Cleft Dimensions on Velopharyngeal Function in 5-Year-Old Danish Children Born With Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate.

Aim: To examine the association of cleft severity at infancy and velopharyngeal competence in preschool children with unilateral cleft lip and palate operated with early or delayed hard palate repair.

Design: Subgroup analysis within a multicenter randomized controlled trial of primary surgery (Scandcleft).

Setting: Tertiary health care.

Palatal morphology in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients: Association with infant cleft dimensions and timing of hard palate repair.

Objectives: To assess the impact of cleft severity and timing of hard palate repair on palatal dimensions in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) children.

Setting And Sample Population: Single-centre analysis within a multicenter RCT of primary surgery; 122 UCLP randomized to early hard palate closure (EHPC) at 12 months or delayed hard palate closure (DHPC) at 36 months; 28 frequency-matched controls.

Methods: Linear measurements of palatal height, width and length were performed on 116 digital models of UCLP subjects (8.

Novel 3-D Analysis for the Assessment of Cleft Dimensions on Digital Models of Infants With Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate.

Objective: To present a 3-D standardized analysis of cleft dimensions.

Materials: Thirty-one plaster casts of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) infants were laser scanned. Landmarks and coordinate system were defined.

Two- versus three-dimensional imaging in subjects with unerupted maxillary canines.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any difference in the diagnostic information provided by conventional two-dimensional (2D) images or by three-dimensional (3D) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in subjects with unerupted maxillary canines. Twenty-seven patients (17 females and 10 males, mean age 11.8 years) undergoing orthodontic treatment with 39 impacted or retained maxillary canines were included.

Accuracy of computerized tomography for the evaluation of mandibular sites prior to implant placement.

The objective of the present study was to observe the effect of positioning of the mandible on the accuracy of cross-sectional images obtained by reformatting computerized tomographic (CT) scans. An additional aim was to evaluate the ability of a software program (DentalVox, Era Scientific) to reconstruct these measurements on the reformatted images, regardless of the positioning of the mandible, accurately and without distortion. The test was carried out by examining a partially edentulous dry human mandible with an acrylic radiologic template.
