The prevalence of dental caries, restorations, gingivitis, and dental trauma were 26.1%, 45.8%, 41.7%, and 10.8%, respectively. Most patients (84.0%) had an established dental home, and 21.7% had a history of DGA. DGA prevalence increased linearly across driving distance quartiles from 15.2% to 30.4%. Each quartile increase in driving distance was associated with higher odds of DGA use (adjusted odds ratio\u2009=\u20091.36; 95% confidence interval: 1.07-1.72).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Greater distance to dental home was associated with history of DGA utilization among patients with CL\/P, suggesting geographic access may be associated with patterns of dental care delivery and warranting further investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656261485116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T17:43:05Z","timestamp":1788889385000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Geographic Distance to Dental Home and Dental General Anesthesia Utilization Among Children with Cleft Lip and\/or Palate: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Michelle","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3502-368X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0990-2756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara M.","family":"Meehan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1827-954X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jason E.","family":"Ginnis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayush","family":"Khanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Firona","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keyur","family":"Vanam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Halley","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amelia F.","family":"Drake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5583-7535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John T.","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4934-1110","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronald P.","family":"Strauss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adams School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1604-082X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Poojan","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18189487"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41415-023-5995-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47895\/amp.vi0.6985"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.1092809"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0976-237X.149293"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10005-2169"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","unstructured":"American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
