REBOUCAS, Pedro Diniz; MOREIRA, Madiana Magalhães; CHAGAS, Maria Lúcia Bomfim e CUNHA FILHO, José Ferreira da. Prevalence of cleft palate in a hospital of reference in northeastern of Brazil. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2014, vol.71, n.1, pp. 39-41. ISSN 1984-3747.
The purpose of this study was to verify the occurrence rates in patients with cleft lip/palate treated at the Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin (HIAS) in 15 years. Data regarding sex and type of cleft were surveyed and was found that 50.38% of patients were male and 80% of cases had tranforamen cleft. Relating the variables, there is a notorious prevalence of females in the post- foramen fissures (62%) and right unilateral clefts pre-foramen (87.5%). Confirming reports in the literature, there was a slight predominance of males, the transforamen fissure is the most prevalent fissure in general and the left side was more affected. The cleft patients require a multidisciplinary team for diagnosis, treatment and following.
