This retrospective cohort study of 336 lateral cephalometric radiographs from 62 children (34 males and 28 females) with non-syndromic complete unilateral cleft lip and palate from the Hospital for Sick Children and 50 non-cleft children (25 females and 25 males) from the Burlington Growth Centre. Cervical vertebral maturation stages at age 10, 12 and 14 were determined. The cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) was established using the 6-stage method described by Baccetti and coworkers. The reproducibility of classifying CVM stages was high, with an inter-rater reliability (ICC) with the standard (Baccetti et al, 2005) of 80% and intra-rater reliability of 85%. The Cervical vertebral maturation stage for both males and females with UCLP was significantly later than children without a cleft at age 10, 12 and 14. The results suggest that patients with UCLP show delayed skeletal maturation in comparison to non-cleft patients.

Orientador: Fausto Viterbo de Oliveira Neto / Resumo: A proposição da presente pesquisa consiste em avaliar subjetivamente e objetivamente a estética do lábio de 38 pacientes, portadores de fissura pré-forame incisivo unilateral completa, sendo 21 do sexo masculino e 17 do sexo feminino com idade entre quatro e 14 anos, com média de oito anos e oito meses, submetidos à queiloplastia primária com a técnica de Spina, e correlacionar a avaliação estética subjetiva com as mensurações objetivas. A avaliação subjetiva foi realizada por 20 avaliadores provenientes de quatro grupos constituídos por: fonoaudiólogas; pais e pacientes portadores de fissura de lábio e/ou palato; cirurgiões dentistas, fisiologistas e geneticista; cirurgiões plásticos do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais, da Universidade de São Paulo. A avaliação objetiva consistiu de mensurações no lábio superior dos lados fissurado e não fissurado realizadas pelo autor. Os resultados mostraram que as mensurações dos lados fissurado e não fissurado apresentaram-se diferentes e 70% das avaliações dos examinadores foram satisfatórias. Não houve correlação significante entre o julgamento dos avaliadores e as diferenças mensuradas entre os lados fissurado e não fissurado. / Abstract: The aim of the present study was to subjectivelly and objectivelly evaluate the aesthetics of the lip of 38 cleft lip patients, 21 males and 17 females, aging 4 to 14 years (mean eight years and eight months) who have undergone lip surgery by the SPINA'S technique, and to correlate both kinds of evalutions. Subjective evaluation was performed by 20 individuals among speech/language pathologistis, cleft lip and palate patients, cleft lip and palate patients parents, dentists, physiologists, geneticist and plastic surgeons from the Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo. Objective evaluation consisted of measurements in the cleft and noncleft sides of the upper lip, which were performed by the author. The results have shown that there were differences in the measurements in both sides of the lip, and 70% of the subjective evaluations were considered satisfactoriy. No significant correlation was found between the subjective evaluation and the measurements obtained in the cleft and noncleft sides of the patients lips. / Mestre

Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar, descrever e avaliar a qualidade de vida verbalizada e percebida por adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal e as de um grupo com características sociodemográficas próximas, utilizado como controle, e suas possíveis semelhanças e diferenças quanto à qualidade de vida. A amostra foi constituída por 67 adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal (G1), matriculados no Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo, HRAC-USP, sendo os dados coletados no período de 16 de novembro a 22 de dezembro de 1999; e de 67 adolescentes estudantes sem fissuras (G2), no período entre 22 de agosto a 15 de setembro de 2000. Os grupos tinham representação de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária de 10 a 20 anos incompletos e residentes na cidade de Bauru. Com a intenção de verificar o cotidiano, foi aplicado um questionário de questões estruturadas e algumas questões abertas, enfocando as suas percepções. Apesar do estigma que a deformidade congênita representa, os adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal superam os limites da deficiência, evento fundamental para que se integrem à sociedade, apresentando satisfação com a vida que levam, através da autorealização, saúde e bem-estar. / The term quality of life has been employed by all professionals concerned with human welfare, which is often associated to psychosocial indicators. This study aimed at identifying, describing and evaluating the quality of life verbalized and noticed by teenagers with cleft lip and palate in relation to a control group presenting similar sociodemographic features, as well as the possible similarities and differences regarding quality of life. The sample comprised 67 teenagers with cleft lip and palate (G1) regularly enrolled for treatment at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP), the data of which were collected during the period November 16th to December 22nd, 1999. The control group consisted of 67 adolescent students without clefts (G2) who were surveyed in the period August 22nd up to September 15th, 2000. The groups included teenagers of both genders, aged 10 to 20 incomplete years old and living in the city of Bauru. A questionnaire comprising structured and some open questions was applied in an attempt to analyze the subjects’ quotidian according to their perceptions. Despite of the stigma yielded by the congenital deformity, the teenagers with cleft lip and palate overcome the limits imposed by their deficiency, which is fundamental for their integration into society, and demonstrate satisfaction with the life they live, through self-realization, health and welfare.
