Family history learned that the mother had an agenesis of more than 6 teeth. She remarked “ there is nothing unusual about this, because almost all of her family members misses a few or a larger number of teeth.” Orofacial cleft and hypodontia Orofacial clefting is a very common congenital abnormality. Clefts of the lip and palate are generally divided into two cagetories, cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL±P) and isolated cleft palate (CP). 1 However, recent studies emphasized subdivision into three categories: cleft lip only (CL), cleft lip with cleft palate (CLP), and CP, because of differences concerning embryologic development, prevalence, risk factors, and associations with other congenital anomalies. 2-5 For most people an orofacial cleft (CL and CLP account for 66% of the cleft cases) 3, is an immediately recognizable birth defect. In the Netherlands approximately 300-350 children are born annually with a cleft lip and/ or palate 6. Often the newborn with cleft lip and/or palate is the first such a child in the family. However there is an increased risk for orofacial clefts to recur in families 7 , 8 The birth incidence of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL±P) and cleft palate (CP) show a striking variability that is dependent on geographic origins, ethnic groups but also on environmental exposures and socio-economic status. 1, 5, 9 The highest rates of birth prevalences are reported in certain (Asian and Native American) population and are as high as 1:500. African derived populations show the lowest birth incidences of 1:2500. In the European population an intermediate birth incidence of 1:1000 is observed. 9 The prevalence of orofacial clefting in the Netherlands is 1:600 live births. 6 Cleft lip and/or palate are often associated with additional congenital anomalies. 5 An increasing number of studies demonstrate that in patients with CL±P or CP congenital tooth agenesis/hypodontia is significantly more frequent than in the general population. 10-19 The prevalence of hypodontia (excluding third molars or Wisdom teeth) in cases with orofacial clefting differs between populations and between types of clefts. The occurrence of hypodontia in cases with orofacial clefting ranges from approximately 5 % 10 to 77% 11 compared to 5,5 % in the general population. 20 Hypodontia can be attributed in part to the cleft itself or to the early surgical correction of the defects. However, hypodontia is also much more common outside the cleft region with reported frequencies 13 General introduction Aims and Outline of the thesis of approximately 30%. 12, 14, 17 A recent systematic review and meta-analyses showed a significant association between tooth agenesis and orofacial clefts. 21 The increased rates of hypodontia in orofacial clefting suggest a related etiology. This might be based on the close anatomic relation and developmental timing, shared morphological processes, such as outgrowth and differentiation, and underlying molecular mechanisms during the embryonic development of the face and teeth. Facial and tooth development: related processes During the development of the face, the morphogenesis of the primary palate (the upper lip and alveolar process) and the secondary palate (the hard and soft palates including the uvula), and the teeth entail a complex series of events. 8, 9, 22-37 The development of the face and the primary and secondary palates are the result of the narrowly coordinated formation, i.e. outgrowth, apoptosis and fusion of facial and palatal prominences/processes/shelves followed by their differentiation into musculature, bone and teeth (Figure 1.1 A/B and Figure 1.2). The fusion of the facial and palatal processes entails several steps. The facial and palatal processes consist of a mesenchymal core covered with ectoderm. Through outgrowth of the processes initial contact of the covering epithelial layers (ectoderm) of the opposite processes occur. After adhesion the intervening epithelium gradually disappear by the crucial process of apoptosis and epitheliomesenchymal transformation. 23, 28 First, the primary palate is formed bilaterally by outgrowth and fusion of the median nasal process with the maxillary and lateral nasal processes, respectively, during the 4th -7th week after conception. Then, the secondary palate starts to develop by outgrowth of the palatal shelves, emerging from the maxillary processes, at 7th weeks after conception. After elevation of the vertically oriented palatal shelves the fusion of the shelves takes place with the primary palate, with each other and the nasal septum. The formation of the secondary palate is completed at the 12th week after conception. 9, 23-29 (see Figure 1.1 B) 14 Chapter 1 1 Lateral nasal 1.1 A.

Treatment of such skeletal deformities requires combination of orthodontic and surgical treatment. The treatment does not change only the bony relations of the facial structures, but soft tissues as well, and by doing so, may alter the patient’s appearance. However, longer treatment times and transitional detriment to the facial profile has led to a new approach called “surgery-first,” which eliminates the presurgical orthodontic phase. After the jaws are repositioned, the orthodontist is then able to properly finish the bite into the best possible relationship. Surgery may also be helpful as an adjunct to orthodontic treatment to enhance the long term results of orthodontic treatment, and to shorten the overall time necessary to complete treatment.

It plays a regulative role in cellular prolifera- tion, differentiation and cell death. The humanMSX1 domain was also found in cow (Bt 302906), mouse (Mm 123311), rat (Rn13592001), chicken (Gg 170873) and clawed toad (XI 547690). Cleft lip and palate is the most common anomaly of the facial part of the skull. The etiology is not fully understood, but it is believed that the key role is played by the genetic factor ac- tivated by environmental factors. Among the candidate genes whose mutations could lead to formation of the cleft, the MSX1 homeobox gene is mentioned. Mutations in the gene MSX1 can lead to isolated cleft deformities, but also cause other dismorphic changes. Among the most frequently mentioned is loss of permanent tooth buds (mostly of less than 4 teeth – hy- podontia, including second premolars). Mutations of MSX1 are observed in the Pierre- Robin sequence, which may be one of the featu- res of congenital defects or is observed as an isolated defect. Mutation of the gene can lead to the occurrence of a rare congenital defect Wiktop (dental-nail) syndrome.

  • Surgical Orthodontics.Pdf
    Surgical Orthodontics Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a combination treatment using orthodontics and surgery to correct severe cases where the problem is related to the poor position of the jaw bones rather than just the teeth. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist work together to plan the combined approach and timing for the best possible aesthetic and functional outcome. When might surgical orthodontics be needed? Surgical orthodontics may be used to treat adults with improper bites or other aesthetic concerns. Usually the surgery is carried out after most jaw growth has finished, which means after age 16 for girls and 18 for boys. A combination treatment using both surgery and orthodontics is suggested when the jaws do not relate to each other correctly, and a proper bite cannot be achieved with orthodontic treatment alone. Orthognathic surgery will position the upper and lower jaws correctly, with orthodontic braces moving the teeth into their correct positions prior to the surgery. How do I know if I need orthognathic surgery? Your orthodontist can tell you if orthognathic surgery is needed as part of your treatment. Depending on the severity of your case and the alignment of your jaw, you may or may not need surgery. Sometimes treatment options including/not including surgery can be reviewed, with the advantages of including surgery outlined. How does orthognathic surgery work? An oral and maxillofacial surgeon will perform your orthognathic surgery, and the surgery will take place in a hospital. Orthognathic surgery can take several hours depending on each individual case and you will need to schedule some time away from work and school during the healing process.
