The aim of the study was to evaluate the soft tissue thickness of the patients affected by unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to compare the findings with a matched control group without cleft using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
The study sample consisted of 66 patients (31 women and 35 men) divided into 2 groups as UCLP group (34 patients; 23 men and 11 women; 9 right sided and 25 left sided; mean age: 14.11 ± 3.48 years) and control group (32 patients; 12 men and 20 women; mean age: 15.10 ± 3.13 years) without any cleft. Angular angle between Nasion-A line and Nasion-B line (ANB), angle between Sella-Nasion line and Gonion-Menton line (SN-MP) and linear (glabella, nasion, rhinion, subnasale, labrale superius, stomion, labrale inferius, labiomentale, pogonion, and gnathion) measurements were done using CBCT. Student t test was performed to compare the variables between the groups.
Soft tissue thickness values for men were higher in both groups, except for rhinion and glabella. Subnasale for women (P = 0.000), men (P = 0.006), and total samples (P = 0.000) and the variable of the labrale superius for men (P = 0.047) and total samples (P = 0.040) were found to be statistically significantly thinner in the UCLP group. SN-MP had significant affect on subnasale thickness (R = 15.8; Beta = -0.397; P = 0.001).
Thickness of the subnasale and the labrale superius were found to be statistically significantly thinner in the UCLP group compared with the controls.
本研究旨在利用锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)评估单侧唇腭裂(UCLP)患者的软组织厚度,并将结果与无腭裂的匹配对照组进行比较。
研究样本包括66例患者(31名女性和35名男性),分为UCLP组(34例患者;23名男性和11名女性;9例右侧和25例左侧;平均年龄:14.11±3.48岁)和对照组(32例患者;12名男性和20名女性;平均年龄:15.10±3.13岁),对照组无任何腭裂。使用CBCT测量鼻根点 - A线与鼻根点 - B线之间的角(ANB)、蝶鞍 - 鼻根线与下颌角 - 颏下点线之间的角(SN - MP)以及线性测量值(眉间点、鼻根点、鼻棘点、鼻下点、上唇缘点、口裂点、下唇缘点、唇颏点、颏前点和颏下点)。进行学生t检验以比较两组之间的变量。
除鼻棘点和眉间点外,两组男性的软组织厚度值均较高。发现UCLP组女性(P = 0.000)、男性(P = 0.006)和总样本(P = 0.000)的鼻下点以及男性(P = 0.047)和总样本(P = 0.040)的上唇缘点变量在统计学上显著变薄。SN - MP对鼻下点厚度有显著影响(R = 15.8;β = -0.397;P = 0.001)。
与对照组相比,UCLP组的鼻下点和上唇缘点厚度在统计学上显著变薄。
