Abstract
BackgroundThere are limited published data on maximum mouth opening (MMO) for children with cleft lip or palate (CLP) or craniofacial anomalies (CFA).AimTo report MMO of patients with CLP or CFA compared with non‐affected controls.DesignRetrospective cross‐sectional review of electronic medical and dental records. Patients with CLP or CFA with recorded MMO, height, and weight were included and compared with a non‐affected control individuals seen during orthodontic screening. Outcome measures included MMO, recorded in millimeters of inter‐incisal distance, age, height, weight, and sex.ResultsPatients with CLP or CFA (n = 376) were matched by age and body mass standardized index (BMIz) to the non‐affected pool (n = 376). The affected group had a MMO of 43.14 mm (±7.1 mm) compared with the control group MMO of 48.01 mm (±7.6 mm) with a statistically significant difference of −4.86 mm (p < .0001). Specifically, MMO of the unilateral cleft group is 4.26 mm smaller than that of non‐affected controls (p < .0001). MMO of the bilateral cleft group is 3.65 mm smaller than that of non‐affected controls (p = 0.0063).ConclusionsMMO for patients with CLP was significantly smaller as compared to non‐affected controls. This study helps establish MMO values for children with CLP and CFA.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
