About this study

Official title: Assessment of Maxillary Arch Depth and Width in a Group of Surgically Repaired Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Egyptian Children Versus Normal Children .A Cross Sectional Study

The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of surgically repaired UCLP on dental arch dimensions and the need for orthodontic intervention in comparison with other healthy children , the presence of dental anomalies and the best possible standards of care among this group of Egyptian children.

Read the detailed description

In arranging to distinguish and implement the best possible standards of care for UCLP children by the pediatric dental practitioner, evaluation of early treatment results after essential surgical repair of cleft lip and palate with respect to arch dimensions is fundamental. Although the dental arch dimensions for these children have been evaluated in previous studies , few examiners in Egypt handled this issue Due to racial contrasts in improvement of the dental arch and growth .The deficiency of data in Egypt tending to this insufficient assemble of children presents a gap that prevents the transport of fitting dental care to them. This is considered objective to fulfill this gap by spotting the most characteristics of dental arch dimensions in surgically repaired UCLP children and compares them with those of sound, coordinating, non-cleft.

Being tested
Alginate impressions , Photographic data and panoramic radiographs .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Alginate impressions , Photographic data and panoramic radiographs .Other

    Upper and lower alginate impressions will be poured and dental casts produced and converted to 3D digital cast using a 3D scanner-(3Shape )-the 3D data will be imported to a revers modeling software . Also Photographic data using Canon750 camera and panoramic radiographs to be taken.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inter canine maxillary arch width at the gingival level and 2. Inter molar maxillary arch Width at gingival level 3. Maxillary arch depth

    Inter canine maxillary arch width at the gingival level(between cusp tips of the right and left primary or permanent canines) 2. Inter molar maxillary arch Width at the gingival level(between mesio- buccul cusp tips of right and left first molars) 3. Maxillary arch depth( from the median point between central incisors to the tangent line between the distal surfaces of the second primary molars or mesial surfaces of first permanent molar.

    Measured: Participants will be examined for once "day1"

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage occurrence of dental abnormalities.

    Percentage occurrence of hypodontia and other dental abnormalities.

    Measured: Participants will be examined for once " day 1"

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inter canine maxillary arch width at the gingival level and 2. Inter molar maxillary arch Width at gingival level 3. Maxillary arch depth (time frame: Participants will be examined for once "day1"). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2022.
