Introduction: The soft palate, a fibromuscular structure extending from the posterior edge of the hard palate, exhibits dysfunction in conditions such as cleft palate. Understanding its diverse morphologies across pathological conditions is critical for precise diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of distinct soft palate morphologies in individuals with cleft palate.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study involved patients with isolated cleft palate referred to the School of Dentistry at Guilan University of Medical Sciences between 2017 and 2019. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were reviewed, starting from the most recent, until the required sample size was achieved. Only one radiograph per patient was analyzed, excluding duplicates. Images were captured using a Soredex Cranex with cephalostat attachment (Helsinki, Finland) in proper positioning and exposure. Radiographs were manually analyzed on a negatoscope with tracing paper (α = 0.05).
Results: The results indicate that the Leaf-shaped type had the highest frequency, with 36 cases (40%), while the Straight-line and S-shaped types both had the lowest frequency, each with 5 cases (5.6%). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between gender and morphology type (P = 0.868). Also, the findings indicated no significant association between age group and morphology type (P = 0.254).
Conclusions: Overall, the soft palate morphology in individuals with cleft palate was predominantly Leaf-shaped, with no significant differences related to gender or age. These results indicate that soft palate type is independent of demographic factors in this population. Understanding these morphological patterns may aid in clinical assessments and treatment planning.
