Bilateral condylar morphology in adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2015.24.010

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The characteristics of condylar morphology should be first understood in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the bilateral condylar morphology in adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
METHODS: This study included 25 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (study group), and 25 normal volunteers (control group). The upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar height and condylar width were measured on panoramic radiographs. The ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width were calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, upper condylar height, condylar width, condylar height and the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height were reduced in the study group between the normal and affected sides (P < 0.05). Moreover, significant differences in condylar morphology were detected between the two groups. No significant difference in ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference in upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar width, condylar height, the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height, the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width, and condylar morphology was detectable between the normal and affected sides in the experimental group (P > 0.05). These data show that adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate presented short condylar process and narrow neck, and the condylar process is shorter than ramus, which provides clinical evidence for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
