AIM: Despite the reported occurrence of @entity4500 of @entity3384 , little is known about their prevalence in @entity1 from Northern Finland with @entity3384 . The aim was to investigate the prevalence of @entity4500 among @entity1 with different types of clefts in Northern Finland. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Design and Statistics: @entity1 records of 139 subjects aged three years and older (with clefts treated in Oulu University Hospital, Finland during the period 1996-2010 (total n. 183) were analysed for @entity4500 including the number of teeth, morphological @entity600 and their association with the cleft type. The analyses were carried out using Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Differences between the groups were considered statistically significant at p values < 0.05. RESULTS: More than half of the @entity1 had clefts of the hard palate, 18% of the lip and palate, and 13% of the lip. At least one @entity4500 was detected in 47% of the study population. Almost one in three (26.6%) subjects had at @entity154 and 17.9% had two or three anomalies. The most common @entity154 in permanent teeth were missing teeth followed by supernumerary teeth. Supernumerary teeth were significantly more apparent when the lip was involved in the cleft compared with palatal clefts. Missing teeth were less prevalent among those 5 years or younger. The prevalence of different anomalies was significantly associated with the cleft type in both age groups. CONCLUSIONS: @entity4500 are more prevalent among cleft @entity1 than in the general population in Finland. The most @entity154 associated with cleft were missing and supernumerary teeth.
