Article Abstract
Background: Bilateral cleft lip palate is a severe congenital birth defect of the mouth and face. Immunity factors modulate immune response, inflammation, and healing; therefore, they are vital in the assessment of the immunological status of the patient. The aim of this study is to assess the distribution of Gal-10, CD-163, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, HBD-2, HBD-3, and HBD-4 in tissue of the bilateral cleft lip palate in primary dentition children.
Methods: Five patients underwent cheiloplasty surgery, where five tissue samples of lip were obtained. Immunohistochemical staining, semi-quantitative evaluation, and non-parametric statistical analysis were used.
Results: A statistically significant increase in HBD-2, HBD-3, and HBD-4 was found in skin and mucosal epithelium, hair follicles, and blood vessels. A notable increase was also noted in IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 in the mucosal epithelium and CD163 in blood vessels. The connective tissue of patients presented with a statistically significant decrease in Gal-10, IL-10, and HBD-3. Spearman's rank correlation revealed multiple significant positive and negative correlations between the factors.
Conclusions: Upregulation of CD163 points to increased angiogenesis but the increase in IL-4 and IL-10 as well as the decrease in Gal-10 points to suppression of excessive inflammatory damage. Decreased connective tissue healing and excessive scarring are suggested by the decrease in HBD-3 and IL-10 and the increase in IL-6.

The treatment of bilateral cleft lip (BCL) is inherently complex, attributed to the discontinuity of the orbicularis oris muscle, significant nasal deformities, and the distinctive anatomical characteristics of the prolabium1. Several operative techniques exist, including the well-known Millard and Manchester methods. The Manchester technique preserves the vermilion of the prolabium, joining them with the lateral lip components2.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of computer-aided design-nasoalveolar molding (CAD-NAM) on maxillary and midface growth in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) in the early mixed dentition period.
Patients And Methods: A total of 19 patients with complete nonsyndromic BCLP were included in this study. Among them, 7 BCLP patients who underwent CAD-NAM were recruited in the CAD-NAM group.

Mucoperiosteal flap necrosis is a rare but serious complication following cleft palate repair, often resulting in the formation of oronasal fistulas. Although several factors-such as excessive flap tension, pedicle injury, infection, and hematoma-have been implicated in its pathogenesis, the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, we report two nonsyndromic siblings with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate, both of whom developed anterior mucoperiosteal flap necrosis on postoperative day 5 after primary palatoplasty performed with a same two-flap technique incorporating a vomer flap.

Purpose: To assess the association between non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) and developmental defects of enamel (DDE), including the DDE subtypes, such as molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM).
Methods: This cross-sectional study with a comparison group included individuals with and without NSCL/P ("NSCL/P group" and "control group," respectively). The NSCL/P group was recruited from a specialised craniofacial centre, and the control group was randomly selected from a population-based sample of schoolchildren, in a 1:2 ratio.
