Abstract
Objectives To assess treatment outcome (transversal and sagittal dental arch
relationships) and its determinants in complete bilateral cleft lip and
palate (BCLP) evaluated with the modified Huddart-Bodenham scoring system
and the BCLP Yardstick. Materials and methods Multiple electronic databases were searched without time limitation.
Randomized clinical trials, cohort and case control studies using BCLP
Yardstick and/or modified Huddart-Bodenham system to judge treatment outcome
of patients with BCLP were included. The Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized
Studies of Interventions tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment,
Development, and Evaluation was used. Results Of the 528 studies identified by the electronic search, only eight
retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria and were included. A total
of 12 cleft centers were represented. All treatment protocols differed and
background information was underreported. The results for the BCLP yardstick
showed that all except the centers in New Zealand had a mean score lower
than 3, indicating good treatment results. However, these studies had a
moderate to high risk of bias. The modified Huddart-Bodenham scores were
negative in all studies. No further meta-analysis was done due to
heterogeneity and high risk of bias. The quality of evidence was graded as
very low. Conclusion Results for the dental arch relationship of studies in complete BCLP and
possible determinants were not synthesized due to very low quality of
evidence. Clinical research for patients with BCLP should focus on sound
methodological designs to enable evidence-based decision making to improve
treatment for patients with BCLP and thereby hopefully their quality of
life.

CHILDREN-BASEL 2021; 8:children8100893. [PMID: 34682158 PMCID: PMC8534988 DOI: 10.3390/children8100893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The oro-facial morphology is greatly affected in neonates with a cleft lip and palate. The initial evaluation of neonate's body and maxillary arch dimensions is important for treatment planning and predicting growth in cleft patients. The objective of this study was comparative evaluation of the anthropometric and physiologic parameters of cleft and non-cleft neonates in a hospital-based set up. This cross sectional study was conducted on 88 cleft and non-cleft neonates (n = 44 in each group) aged between 0 and 30 days after obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee and positive written informed consent from their parents. Neonates' body weight, body length, head length, head circumference, and maxillary arch dimensions were measured. Maxillary arch dimensions were measured on dental casts with digital sliding calipers. Statistical analyses performed using the independent t-test and one-way ANOVA analysis were followed by Bonferroni correction for post-hoc comparison. The results showed statistically significant differences in birth weight (p < 0.0001), head length (p < 0.01), head circumference (p < 0.007), and maxillary arch dimensions (p < 0.0001) between cleft and non-cleft neonates. These findings suggest that cleft neonates had significant anthropometric and physiologic variations than non-cleft neonates.

Identifying associations between dental arch relationship scores, relative deprivation and other cleft audit outcomes. Part 1. Orthod Craniofac Res 2021; 25:82-95. [PMID: 33998764 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess whether dental arch relationship scores are associated with speech, audiological and psychology outcomes in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION One hundred 5-year-old children with non-syndromic complete UCLP and forty-two 5-year-olds with non-syndromic complete BCLP from the United Kingdom. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data were collected from five-year audit clinics for dental arch relationships, speech, hearing and psychology outcomes. Associations were assessed between ordinal prognostic covariates and the dental arch relationship outcome using a Cochrane-Armitage test for trend and comparisons with binary prognostic covariates using chi-square/Fisher's exact test. This was extended to assess associations between five-year audit outcomes and a measure of deprivation. RESULTS There was no evidence of associations between dental arch relationships and outcomes for audiology and speech. Individual domain analysis of the psychology outcomes within the UCLP cohort reported a poor outcome for Pro-social score to be associated with a poor 5-year-old index score (P = .018). For the BCLP sample, a good outcome for the BCLP Deciduous Dentition Yardstick was associated with a good conduct score (P = .01). CONCLUSION There was no association with the 5-year-old index/BCLP Deciduous Dentition Yardstick score and outcomes reported for audiology and speech. For the UCLP and BCLP cohorts, a poor dental arch relationship outcome may be associated with issues with some aspects of psychological well-being, associated with peer interactions and conduct. The deprivation index of samples had no association with the outcomes assessed.

Abstract
Objective: To assess reliability of scoring plaster models and their 3D digital copy of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP) using a continuous scale (10-cm visual analog scale [VAS]) and a categorical scale (GOSLON Yardstick). Design: Reliability observational study involving 3 trained GOSLON Yardstick assessors blinded to the origin of the models. Patients: Models from 35 New Zealand (NZ) and 35 Oslo CUCLP patients were standardized and randomly ordered before rating. Outcome Measures: Assessments were undertaken using the GOSLON and the VAS for both model formats. Twenty percent of sample were randomly selected and rescored at the first assessment, and whole sample was rescored 1 week later. Weighted κ was used to assess GOSLON reliability, while correlation was used for the VAS. Results: The VAS and GOSLON intra- and inter-rater agreement was similar for both model formats. Repeat measurements on the day have similar intra-rater reliability as repeat measurements at least a week part. There was no significant difference between the 2 model formats, and both the GOSLON and VAS found the NZ models were significantly worse than Oslo. Conclusions: A 10-cm VAS is a reliable method to assess dental arch relationships and appears to have good face validity when compared to GOSLON. The VAS allows for statistically robust rankings of the dental arch relationships, although more studies will be required to enable the VAS scores to have greater clinical meaning. The 3D digital models can be used for GOSLON and VAS rankings with a high degree of reliability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate intraoral 3D scans for assessing dental arch relationships and obtain patient/parent perceptions of impressions and intraoral 3D scanning. MATERIALS & METHODS Forty-three subjects with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) had impressions taken for plaster models. These and the teeth were scanned using the R700 Orthodontic Study Model Scanner and Trios® Digital Impressions Scanner (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) to create indirect and direct digital models. All model formats were scored by three observers on two occasions using the GOSLON and modified Huddart Bodenham (MHB) indices. Participants and parents scored their perceptions of impressions and scanning from 1 (very good) to 5 (very bad). Intra- and interexaminer reliability were tested using GOSLON and MHB data (Cronbach's Alpha >0.9). Bland and Altman plots were created for MHB data, with each model medium (one-sample t tests, P < .05) and questionnaire data (Wilcoxon signed ranks P < .05) tested. RESULTS Intra- and interexaminer reliability (>0.9) were good for all formats with the direct digital models having the lowest interexaminer differences. Participants had higher ratings for scanning comfort (84.8%) than impressions (44.2%) (P < .05) and for scanning time (56.6%) than impressions (51.2%) (P > .05). None disliked scanning, but 16.3% disliked impressions. Data for parents and children positively correlated (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Reliability of scoring dental arch relationships using intraoral 3D scans was superior to indirect digital and to plaster models; Subjects with UCLP preferred intra-oral 3D scanning to dental impressions, mirrored by parents/carers; This study supports the replacement of conventional impressions with intra-oral 3D scans in longitudinal evaluations of the outcomes of cleft care.

Rating dental arch relationships and palatal morphology with the EUROCRAN index on three different formats of dental casts in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Clin Oral Investig 2015; 20:943-50. [PMID: 26462656 PMCID: PMC4873539 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-015-1595-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2015] [Accepted: 09/09/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background The EUROCRAN index has been used in inter-center studies to assess dental arch relationship (DAR) and palatal morphology (PM) in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). For this type of inter-center research, a scoring method that could be performed over the internet would be the most effective. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of application of the EUROCRAN index on 3D digital models or photographs of plaster models instead of using plaster models. Methods The EUROCRAN reference models were presented in three formats: plaster models, 2D photographs of plaster models, and 3D digital models. Plaster models of children with UCLP (n = 45) were rated. Of each case, all three formats were rated by six calibrated observers in random order. The strength of agreement of the ratings was assessed with kappa statistics. Concordance among observers was evaluated with the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results The ICC showed a good inter-observer agreement for the DAR and poor inter-observer agreement for the PM. Intra-observer agreement for the DAR was moderate to very good, yet for the PM poor to moderate. Comparison between the three formats per observer for the DAR was good or very good and for the PM moderate to poor. Conclusions The overall results show that the EUROCRAN index is an acceptable and reliable scoring method for the DAR on plaster models, 2D photographs of plaster models, and 3D digital models. However, due to the small range of deviations in palatal morphology between the cases in our study, the PM component of the index was difficult to assess. Clinical relevance In clinical audits and inter-center studies, plaster models can be substituted by 2D photographs of plaster casts or 3D digital models when grading treatment outcome with the EUROCRAN index.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the use of the 5-year-olds' index on both dental study casts and intraoral photographs when measuring primary surgical outcome for children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Models and photographs collected from cleft units across the UK as part of the CCUK (Cleft Care UK) study were scored by two clinicians at the School of Oral and Dental Sciences, Bristol, UK. PARTICIPANTS Five-year-old children born with UCLP as part of the CCUK study. One hundred and ninety-eight had dental study casts available and 49 had intraoral photographs available. METHODS The records of both groups, that is study casts (n = 198) and photographs (n = 49) were scored using the 5-year-olds' index on two occasions by two examiners. RESULTS Reliability of scoring is reduced for intraoral photographs compared with dental study casts. Using weighted Kappa the inter-rater reliability for dental study casts was 0.72 to 0.77 and the inter-rater reliability for intraoral photographs was 0.52 to 0.59. LIMITATIONS The photographs and study casts were not matched for each individual and were collected by a number of different clinicians in each unit, both of which will have had an effect on the quality and consistency of the final records. CONCLUSIONS Dental study casts provide more reliable results and thus still represent the gold standard when assessing primary surgical outcome in cleft care using the 5-year-olds' index.

Abstract
Background Current guidelines for evaluating cleft palate treatments are mostly based on two-dimensional (2D) evaluation, but three-dimensional (3D) imaging methods to assess treatment outcome are steadily rising. Objective To identify 3D imaging methods for quantitative assessment of soft tissue and skeletal morphology in patients with cleft lip and palate. Data sources Literature was searched using PubMed (1948–2012), EMBASE (1980–2012), Scopus (2004–2012), Web of Science (1945–2012), and the Cochrane Library. The last search was performed September 30, 2012. Reference lists were hand searched for potentially eligible studies. There was no language restriction. Study selection We included publications using 3D imaging techniques to assess facial soft tissue or skeletal morphology in patients older than 5 years with a cleft lip with/or without cleft palate. We reviewed studies involving the facial region when at least 10 subjects in the sample size had at least one cleft type. Only primary publications were included. Data extraction Independent extraction of data and quality assessments were performed by two observers. Results Five hundred full text publications were retrieved, 144 met the inclusion criteria, with 63 high quality studies. There were differences in study designs, topics studied, patient characteristics, and success measurements; therefore, only a systematic review could be conducted. Main 3D-techniques that are used in cleft lip and palate patients are CT, CBCT, MRI, stereophotogrammetry, and laser surface scanning. These techniques are mainly used for soft tissue analysis, evaluation of bone grafting, and changes in the craniofacial skeleton. Digital dental casts are used to evaluate treatment and changes over time. Conclusion Available evidence implies that 3D imaging methods can be used for documentation of CLP patients. No data are available yet showing that 3D methods are more informative than conventional 2D methods. Further research is warranted to elucidate it.
