Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics of patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate classified as GOSLON Group 4, treated with fixed orthodontic appliances at Vietnam-Cuba Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 30 patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate classified as GOSLON Group 4, treated with fixed orthodontic appliances at Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Hospital from April 2020 to October 2023. Results: Most patients sought treatment due to aesthetic issues (77%, 23 patients), while others sought treatment for functional problems (13%, 4 patients) or were referred from other departments (10%, 3 patients). Among the patients, 43% were male (13 patients) and 57% were female (17 patients). In the study group, mixed dentition accounted for 40%, while permanent dentition accounted for 60%. The cleft was located on the right side in 40% (12 patients) and on the left side in 60% (18 patients). Class II malocclusion was the most common, accounting for 60% (18 patients), followed by Class III malocclusion at 40% (12 patients), with no patients having a normal bite. Upper central incisors were rotated in 73% (22 patients) and non-rotated in 27% (8 patients). Missing lateral incisors in the cleft area was observed in 80% (24 patients). Conclusion: In the study, the prevalence of female patients with cleft lip and palate was 57%, higher than that of male patients. Clefts on the left side were more common than on the right side. Class III skeletal malocclusion and Class II dental malocclusion were the most prevalent. Unilateral crossbite was observed in 80% of patients, while bilateral crossbite was present in 20%. Most upper central incisors were rotated (73%). The prevalence of missing lateral incisors in the cleft area was 80%. The rate of midline deviation of the upper jaw was 63%.
