Abstract
Objectives: This study compared maxillary sinus volume (MSV) in patients with unilateral non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) to a skeletally matched control group with a skeletal class III pattern (group CTR) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Materials/methods: Ninety CBCT images were evaluated, including 45 patients with unilateral CLP (group CLP, mean age 24.3 ± 6.1) and 45 patients with Class III malocclusion (group CTR, mean age 25.3 ± 5.9). Both groups were skeletally matched based on SNA, SNB, ANB, GoGn-SN angles and Wits appraisal values. MSV was measured using ITK-SNAP software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test confirmed normal data distribution. Intergroup comparisons of average MSV, MSV stratified per side, cephalometric parameters and gender differences were performed using Student's t-test. Intragroup comparisons (cleft vs. non-cleft side, right vs. left side) were conducted using a paired t-test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results: No statistically significant differences in average MSV were found between the CLP group (7589.74 ± 4060.23 mm3) and the CTR group (7901.90 ± 3667.69 mm3) (p = 0.59). However, within the CLP group, the MSV on the cleft side (6870.53 ± 3695.29 mm3) was significantly smaller than on the non-cleft side (8308.96 ± 4316.53 mm3) (p < 0.05). No significant gender differences regarding MSV values were found (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Unilateral cleft lip and palate resulted in a significantly smaller MSV on the cleft side in CLP patients. However, the average MSV of CLP patients was not significantly reduced compared to non-cleft patients with a skeletal Class III pattern.
期刊介绍:
Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions.
The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements.
The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
