- This retrospective, long-term study evaluated the influence of two different treatment protocols, one including infant periosteoplasty, on facial growth and occlusion in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Thirty-five patients with records of 5-, 8- and I 6-19-year-olds were included. Sixteen of these received infant periosteoplasty (BCLP-pp) to the cleft alveolus in conjunction with lip repair and a one-stage closure of the palate. The remaining 19 patients with a two-stage closure of the palate did not have an infant periosteoplasty (BCLP-np). The bone formation induced by periosteoplasty in the BCLP-np group was insufficient and both groups had secondary bone grafting to the alveolar clefts before the eruption of the lateral incisor or the canine. Facial growth was evaluated with cephalometry at the recorded ages and dental arch relationships with the Huddart and Bodenham crossbite scores at the age of 16-19 years. Until 19 years a significant retrusion of the maxillary position (SNA) was observed in both groups. At 16-19 years of age there was no significant difference of maxillary protrusion (SNA), intermaxillary position (ANB), maxillary length (ss-pm) or vertical skeletal relationships (ML/NSL, MI/NL) between the two groups. However, a significant difference of the crossbite scores was found. The BCLP-pp group did not show more facial growth problems but more malocclusion and the insufficient bone formation of the alveolar clefts after infant periosteoplasty required a secondary bone grafting.

- Background: The Uppsala Craniofacial Center has been treating patients with unilateral cleft lip deformity using the lip repair technique described by Tord Skoog. The aim of this study was to determine complications after lip surgery and the incidence and indications for lip revisions in all patients born with unilateral cleft lip from 1960 to 2004.Methods: All patients who were born from 1960 to 2004 with unilateral cleft lip, cleft lip and alveolus, or cleft lip and palate and underwent lip repair were studied retrospectively. The timing, indication, complications of the primary procedure, and type of secondary surgery were recorded. Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher’s exact tests were used, with Bonferroni correction.Results: The study included 443 patients. The total rate of early surgical complications was 6 percent (n = 26). Secondary surgery for short upper lip was performed in 3.8 percent (n = 17), 8.4 percent (n = 37) underwent reduction of excess vermillion, 8.6 percent (n = 38) underwent scar revision, 11 percent (n = 51) underwent revision for incongruent vermillion-cutaneous border, and 10 percent (n = 45) underwent revision for other indications. Altogether, 45 percent had no secondary revisions.Conclusion: In conclusion, the Skoog lip repair is associated with a low total revision rate, and a short-lip deformity is rare.CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

- Malmö and Uppsala have been regional centres for the treatment of cleft lip and palate since the beginning of the 1950s. We have about 80 new cases every year and most patients have conventional oronasal clefts, either cleft lip and palate or isolated cleft palate. During a 10-year period we have come across four patients who have had varying degrees of midface dysplasia combined with intracranial anomalies. One child died at an early age, but the other three children were given medical substitution of hypopituitarism and have had their clefts reconstructed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective : To evaluate the importance of dental status for long-term outcome after alveolar bone grafting in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Design : Retrospective longitudinal study. Setting : Cleft lip and palate-craniofacial center, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Patients : A total of 67 consecutive patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. Interventions : Secondary alveolar bone grafting, prior to the eruption of the permanent canine, was performed at the average age of 10.0 years (range, 8.5 to 12.0 years). Main Outcome Measures : Alveolar bone height was evaluated with the modified Bergland index at 1 and 10 years after surgery. Results : Of the patients, 97% had modified Bergland index grade I and the remaining 3% had modified Bergland index grade II at 1 year after surgery. At 10 years' follow-up, 43% showed modified Bergland index grade I; 55%, modified Bergland index grade II; and 2% (one patient), modified Bergland index grade III. The degree of dental anomalies in the cleft area, such as enamel hypoplasia, incisor rotation, incisor inclination, canine inclination, and oral hygiene registered preoperatively, all correlated negatively to the modified Bergland index at 10 years after surgery. Enamel hypoplasia (ρ = 0.70195, P < .0001), followed by canine inclination (ρ = 0.55429, P < .0001), showed the strongest correlation to reduced bone height in the cleft area. Conclusions : In patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate, excellent results from secondary alveolar bone grafting in terms of bone height in the alveolar cleft tend to decrease with time. This seems to be correlated with factors that might to some extent be treated preoperatively through adequate planning and execution of the orthodontic treatment.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Clefts involving the alveolus are treated using one of two strategies: primary periosteoplasty at the time of lip repair or secondary alveolar bone grafting at mixed dentition. Most teams favor secondary alveolar bone grafting because of its high success rate, and concerns have been raised that primary periosteoplasty may interfere with maxillary growth. However, primary periosteoplasty may obviate the need for future bone grafting and is still practiced in some centers. Few studies compare the long-term outcomes of these two strategies.Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients born with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus were studied retrospectively. All patients underwent primary lip repair using Skoog's method; 28 patients underwent primary periosteoplasty at the time of lip repair and the remaining 29 underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting at mixed dentition. Occlusal radiographs obtained at ages 10 and 16 years were analyzed for alveolar bone height. Cephalometric analysis assessed growth at ages 5, 10, and 18 years.Results: Seventeen of 28 patients treated using primary periosteoplasty required later secondary bone grafting, and the bone height at age 16 years was lower in the primary periosteoplasty group (p < 0.0001). There was a more pronounced decrease in maxillary protrusion from ages 5 to 10 years in the primary periosteoplasty group (p < 0.03). However, at age 18 there was no significant difference in maxillary growth between the two groups.Conclusion: Primary periosteoplasty did not seem to inhibit long-term maxillary growth but was ineffective as a method of reconstructing the alveolar cleft.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background:Self-esteem in children and adolescents with deviances in function and appearance has been studied with diverse results. The effect of cleft lip/ and palate on mental health, self-esteem and social interaction were studied in the context of reconstructive surgery. Comparing parents’ and children’s’ self-esteem reports was also of interest. Exploring these differences could help the understanding of future mental health in patients with CL/P and their need for reconstructive surgery. Methods:A descriptive study within an in-patient setting, Plastic Surgery Clinic, Uppsala University Hospital. Twenty-six CL/P patients between 13 and 19 years of age and their parents answered a specific condition questionnaire specially adapted for this study and Beck’s Youth Inventories the day before reconstructive surgery. Results:Mental health was affected while self-esteem was on a median-high level for this CL/P group. Parents rated their children to have higher self-esteem as they grew older. However, females reported a diminished level from primary to secondary school age. Attention on CLP was high. Twenty-three adolescents, or 85 % of resondents, wanted to change their appearance, Conclusion:Mental health was affected by CL/P, especially for those children that had been bullied. Specifically, the wish to change appearance was associated with high level of anxiety and depression. The specific condition questionnaires proved to be more informative than the standardized measure regarding self-esteem under development for the sake of differentiating between parent-adolescent estimation of self-esteem.

- Objective: To identify factors related to Quality of Life (QoL) and satisfaction with nasal appearance among patients treated for unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).Design: Cross sectional population study with long-term follow-up.Patients/Settings:All patients with UCLP born between 1960-1987, treated at Uppsala University Hospital, were invited (n=109), 86 (79%) participated. Mean follow-up time was 35 years.Main outcome measures:QoL was measured with Short Form-36 (SF-36) and analyzed using mental and physical cluster scores (MCS and PCS). Nasal appearance was self-assessed with "Satisfaction with Appearance" questionnaire and by panel judgment. Multivariate regression analyses explored endogenous factors (age, gender, infancy cleft width, nasal function, nasolabial appearance) and exogenous factors (marital status, number of children, education level, operation method, number of rhinoplasties performed).Results:A larger cleft width in infancy was associated with less satisfaction with nasal appearance as adults. A lower mental health QoL was associated with less satisfaction with nasal appearance. Despite female gender being linked to less satisfaction with nasal appearance, it was associated with higher mental health QoL. Higher resistance during nasal breathing was associated to lower physical health QoL.Conclusions:Gender and infant cleft width may affect QoL and satisfaction with nasal appearance among adults. They are potential predictive factors for satisfaction with nasal appearance and QoL during adulthood. The correlation of nasal function impairment and decreased physical health QoL underlines the importance of treatment of nasal symptoms in these patients.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To objectively evaluate the nasal function in adults operated on for unilateral cleft lip and palate with one-stage or two-stage palate closure. DESIGN: The population consists of all unilateral cleft lip and palate patients born from 1960 to 1987 and treated at the Cleft Lip and Palate Center, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. The patients were treated according to the same protocol except for palate closure, which was performed in one stage until 1977 and in two stages thereafter. Eighty-three patients participated. Mean follow-up time after primary surgery was 32 years. An age-matched control group underwent the same examinations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nasal minimum cross-sectional area (cm(2)) and volume (cm(3)) were assessed (acoustic rhinometry). Airflow resistance (Pa s/cm(3)) (rhinomanometry), peak inspiratory flow (L/min) (peak nasal inspiratory flow), and number of identified odors (Scandinavian Odor Identification Test) were determined. RESULTS: The cleft side of unilateral cleft lip and palate patients had significantly lower values for all parameters compared with controls (p < .001). No difference was found between one-stage and two-stage procedures in values for the cleft side. However, the nasal area and volume of the noncleft side were significantly larger in patients who underwent one-stage as compared with two-stage procedures (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The nasal airway of unilateral cleft lip and palate patients demonstrates a wide range of impairments that can be quantified by objective measurements. However, the measurements used did not differentiate between patients operated on with the one-stage and two-stage procedures except for values of the noncleft side.

Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate : Quality of Life and Nasal Form and Function among Adults
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) is a craniofacial malformation with functional and aesthetical impact on the face and the upper airways. The aims of the current thesis were to evaluate Quality of life (QoL) in adults treated for UCLP (I), to objectively evaluate nasal form and function and to search for possible differences in residual nasal deformity and impairment of function between patients operated according to one-stage and two-stage palate closure (II) as well as to evaluate the relationship between professional and lay rating and patient satisfaction with nasolabial appearance (III) and to identify factors associated with lower levels of QoL and less satisfaction with nasal appearance among adults treated for UCLP (IV). Analyses of data from a homogenous population of UCLP patients treated at Uppsala University Hospital form the basis of this thesis. The mean follow-up time after primary surgery was 35 years (20-47 years) and participation rate was 79% (n=86). An age and gender matched control group of 68 people without clefts were evaluated according to the same protocol. The evaluation protocol included the Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, odor test, peak nasal inspiratory flow test and photographies of faces. For the SF-36 data, age- and gender-matched norm data of 1385 people from the Swedish population were used. Unilateral cleft lip and palate affected QoL differently depending on gender and age of the patient. Younger patients were affected more negatively than older patients in several subscales. However, except for lower values in the Mental Health subscale, QoL was similar among UCLP patients and norm data. Objectively measured nasal function was extensively affected among adults treated for UCLP. No difference in impairment of nasal function was found between one-stage and two-stage palate closure protocols on the cleft side. Judgment of nasolabial appearance differed between professionals, lay people and patients. Large infant cleft width was associated with less satisfaction with nasal appearance and male gender was associated with lower levels of mental QoL. Correlation between high nasal breathing resistance and low levels of physical QoL was found. In conclusion, this thesis provides a platform for future research for optimal evaluation of cleft treatment outcome.

Association Between Cleft Size and Crossbite in Children With Cleft Palate and Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate
- 2010
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To investigate the association between cleft size in infancy and crossbite at 5 years of age in children with cleft palate (CP) and unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Design: Retrospective study. Setting: University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden. Patients: Dental study models of 80 consecutive children, 51 children with CP and 29 children with UCLP, born between 1990 and 1999 were analyzed. Interventions: Lip repair at 3 to 4 months in UCLP children. Primary soft palate repair at 6 to 10 months and secondary hard palate closure at 25 to 26 months of age. Main Outcome Measures: Maxillary arch dimensions and cleft size were measured on infancy dental casts. At follow-up at 5 years, crossbite scores were registered on dental study models. Results: The cleft dimensions in infancy showed large interindividual variation. Mean posterior cleft width was larger in UCLP children than in children with CP. The UCLP group also had significantly more crossbite at 5 years than the CP group. No significant association was noted between initial cleft size and crossbite scores at 5 years in the CP group. For the UCLP group, larger cleft widths at the level of the cuspid points were significantly associated with less anterior and posterior crossbite. Conclusions: The findings support the hypothesis that cleft size in infancy affects early outcome with respect to crossbite in children with UCLP, but not in children with CP.

Cleft Size and Maxillary Arch Dimensions in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate and Cleft Palate
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The wide variation in infant maxillary morphology and cleft size of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and isolated cleft palate (CP) raise concerns about their possible influences on treatment outcome. The studies in this thesis aimed to investigate the relation between cleft size in infancy and crossbite at 5 years of age (Paper I); the impact of primary surgery on cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy to 5 years of age (Paper II); associations between cleft size, maxillary arch dimensions and facial growth in both UCLP and CP children (Paper III); and, to evaluate the relation between infant cleft size and nasal airway size and function in adults treated for UCLP (Paper IV). In homogenously treated groups of children with UCLP and CP, dental casts were used to measure cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy up to 5 years of age, and for crossbite recording at 5 years. Serial lateral cephalometric radiographs taken between 5 and 19 years of age in the same groups were used to study facial growth. Nasal airway size and function were evaluated by acoustic rhinometry, rhinomanometry, peak nasal inspiratory flow and odour test in a group of adults treated for UCLP. The main findings were: crossbite was a frequent malocclusion at 5 years of age in children with UCLP and large cleft widths at the level of the cuspid points in infancy were associated with less anterior and posterior crossbite in this group (Paper I). Cleft widths decreased after lip closure and/or soft palate closure in both UCLP and CP children. Initially, UCLP children had wider maxillary arch dimensions, but after hard palate closure, the transverse growth was reduced, and at 5 years, they had smaller maxillary arch widths than CP children had (Paper II). Maxillary arch depths and cleft widths in infancy were correlated with maxillary protrusion and sagittal jaw relationships in both UCLP and CP children (Paper III), but cleft width in infancy was not correlated with nasal airway size and function in adults treated for UCLP (Paper IV).

- Objective: To study changes in cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy to 5 years and evaluate these changes in relation to performed surgical procedures.Design: Retrospective longitudinal study.Setting: The Cleft Lip and Palate Centre, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden.Patients: Dental study models of 79 consecutive children, 28 with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), 39 with cleft palate (CP) and 12 with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) were analyzed.Interventions: Lip repair at 3-4 months, soft palate repair at 6-10 months and hard palate repair at 25-26 months of age.Main Outcome Measures: Cleft size was measured before each surgical intervention up to 2 years and arch dimensions were measured before each surgical intervention and at 5 years.Results: Cleft widths decreased from infancy up to 2 years, but the antero-posterior cleft length in CP was unchanged. Arch widths at C-C1and T-T1 and also the change over time in C-C1 and T-T1 differed significantly between the groups from infancy up to 5 years. Conclusions: Cleft widths decreased after lip closure and/or soft palate closure. The UCLP children had wider maxillary arch dimensions than the CP and PRS children during the first years of life, but after hard palate closure the transverse growth was reduced in the UCLP children. At 5 years the UCLP children had smaller maxillary widths than the CP and PRS children especially at the level of the cuspids.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents a treatment strategy for early release of interalveolar synechiae, aiming to facilitate early oral feeding and prevent temporomandibular joint ankylosis. The treatment results of 2 patients with van der Woude syndrome were retrospectively studied. Both patients underwent early surgical release of interalveolar synechiae under general anesthesia through fiberscopic nasal intubation. The 2 patients were treated at the ages of 6 and 14 days, respectively. The interincisival distances increased from 5 and 6 mm preoperatively to 11 and 10 mm immediately after surgery. This was increased further to 25 and 20 mm at long-term follow-up (6 and 24 months). In conclusion, synechiae between the upper and lower jaws can be safely treated at a very early age under general anesthesia with fiberscopic nasotracheal intubation. The purpose of early intervention in these cases is to facilitate oral feeding and prevent temporomandibular joint ankylosis.
