Abstract

Objective: To compare the oral hygiene and gingival health of children with and without cleft lip and palate.

Design: Cross-sectional comparative study.

Setting: Institutional tertiary referral hospital.

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.

揭示口腔健康差异：唇腭裂儿童与非唇腭裂儿童的牙龈健康与卫生。

目的：比较唇腭裂患儿与非唇腭裂患儿口腔卫生及牙龈健康状况。设计：横断面比较研究。环境：机构三级转诊医院。患者/参与者：本研究共纳入6 ~ 12岁儿童108例，分为3组：1组为单侧或双侧唇腭裂患儿（男孩36例，女孩14例，年龄8（39±1.61）岁）；2组为孤立性腭裂患儿（男孩36例，女孩28例，年龄8.11±1.88）；3组为无唇裂儿童（36例，男18例，女18例，年龄8.53±1.33岁）。主要观察指标：评估临床参数为牙龈指数（GI）和患者卫生表现指数（PHP）。采用方差分析和Kruskal-Wallis检验评价组间差异。年龄、PHP指数与GI之间的相关性采用Spearman相关(P)。结果：三组间PHP指数差异无统计学意义（P = .126）。GI组间差异无统计学意义（P = 0.418）。结论：唇腭裂患儿与孤立性腭裂患儿的牙龈状况无明显差异。与非唇裂儿童相比，唇裂儿童的牙龈状况良好。
