Evaluation of maxillary central incisors on the noncleft and cleft sides in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate-Part 2: Relationship between root resorption, horizontal tooth movement, and quantity of grafted autogenous bone.

CONCLUSIONS: Cleft-adjacent U1 exhibited more severe EARR than did the U1 on the noncleft side, which might be associated with orthodontic treatment-induced changes in horizontal inclination and root apex movement. On the cleft side, severity of EARR may be correlated with the success of ABG. PMID: 28906140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
