Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is the most common craniofacial anomaly. In Oman, the incidence of CL/P is estimated to be 1.5 per 1000 live births per year. Knowledge, awareness, and attitude toward CL/P help to optimize the management of the condition and reduce social and emotional stress among this group of children and their family. In this survey, we assessed the public awareness, knowledge, and attitude toward this deformity in the Sultanate of Oman.

A cross-sectional study was conducted using validated questionnaire that was distributed using Google forms.

A total of 739 participants completed the survey. The majority is aware of cleft lip (86.7%) and palate (63.2%). Cyclopamine In general, attitude toward patients with CL/P was positive. Females had higher knowledge compared to males, 54.4% and 32.9%, respectively. Online resources were the main source of information.

There are variations in knowledge, awareness, and attitude toward CL/P among participants. Omani population needs to be educated more about CL/P, its complications if not treated, and the available treatment.

Severity of trigonocephaly varies and potentially affects intracranial volume (ICV) and intracranial pressure (ICP). The aim of this study is to measure ICV in trigonocephaly patients and compare it to normative data and correlate ICV with the severity of the skull deformity according to UCSQ (Utrecht Cranial Shape Quantifier).

Retrospective study.

Primary craniofacial center.

Nineteen preoperative patients with nonsyndromic trigonocephaly (age ≤12 months).

Intracranial volume was measured on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans by manual segmentation (OsiriX Fondation). Utrecht Cranial Shape Quantifier was used to quantify the severity of the skull deformity. When present, papilledema as sign of elevated ICP was noted.

Measured ICV was compared to Lichtenberg normative cranial volume growth curves, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to correlate UCSQ with the ICV.

Mean age at CT scan was 6 months (2-11). Mean measured ICV was 842 mL (579-1124). Thirteen of h19 patients (11/15 boys and 2/4 girls) had an ICV between ±2 SD curves of Lichtenberg, 2 of 19 (1/15 boys and 1/4 girls) had an ICV less than -2 SD and 4 of 19 (3/15 boys and 1/4 girls) had an ICV greater than +2 SD. Mean UCSQ severity of trigonocephaly was 2.40 (-622.65 to 1279.75). Correlation between severity and ICV was negligible (r = -0.11). No papilledema was reported.

Measured ICV was within normal ranges for trigonocephaly patients, in both mild and severe cases. No correlation was found between severity of trigonocephaly and ICV.

As a result of the current global pandemic, the dental profession has utilized teledentistry to reduce footfall in the hospitals and clinics where possible. Pediatric dental consultants form a vital part of a multidisciplinary team and regularly monitor the dental growth and development of patients with cleft lip and palate.

To assess the effectiveness of the service provided by pediatric dental consultants in the South Thames Cleft Service at Evelina Children's Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic through virtual clinics.

Data were collected retrospectively and include all cleft patients contacted via the virtual clinic during May to July 2020. Patients were prioritized by the Red, Amber, Green (RAG) scale to highlight the urgency of their next face-to-face appointment.

A total of 215 patients were contacted during this period with a 97% response rate. Patients given a RAG score of GREEN (86%) meant no urgent requirement for a face-to-face consultation and AMBER (8%) patients required treatment that was deemed nonurgent. However, 3% of patients received a RED rating as they required urgent input.

Through these virtual clinics, the pediatric team was able to reach 208 patients and provided advice and reassurance. The need for face-to-face appointment was eliminated for 11% of patients who were discharged to their local dental practitioners, thereby reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19.

To investigate the influence of gender, dispositional optimism, and coping strategies on appearance-related distress among individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).

Cross-sectional design with self-report questionnaires analyzed primarily with Spearman correlations (



) and multivariate regression analyses.

A tertiary cleft center in Sweden.

Eighty individuals with UCLP born 1966 to 1986. The mean age for men (n = 50) and women (n = 30) was 38.8 and 37.4 years, respectively.

The Derriford Appearance Scale 24 measured appearance-related distress, the Life Orientation Test-Revised, short version measured dispositional optimism and pessimism, and the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced, short version included 14 coping strategies.

Women had higher appearance-related distress than men, which was significantly (

< .05) related to self-blame (



= 0.59), pessimism (



= 0.59), and low optimism (



= -0.56). Men's appearance-related distress was significantly associated with low active coping (
