To review predisposing factors contributing to dental caries in patients with cleft lip, cleft palate, or both (CL/P).
Patients with CL/P have a higher susceptibility to caries compared with the population group without clefts. A review of the literature was undertaken to determine factors that could account for the compromised oral hygiene and the high caries prevalence in patients with CL/P.
After a literature review, modern strategies for the prevention of early childhood caries were developed and should be considered for integration into the overall management protocol of patients with CL/P.
Preventive dental care is ever more so important in patients with CL/P compared with patients without clefts.
回顾导致唇腭裂患者或唇腭裂合并症患者患龋的诱发因素。
与非腭裂人群相比，唇腭裂患者患龋易感性更高。对文献进行回顾以确定导致唇腭裂患者口腔卫生状况不佳和高患龋率的因素。
在文献回顾后，制定了预防幼儿龋齿的现代策略，应考虑将其纳入唇腭裂患者的整体管理方案。
与非腭裂患者相比，预防性牙科护理对唇腭裂患者更为重要。
