However, significant intergroup differences in OHI-S were observed in the 12-15-year cohort, suggesting that oral hygiene disparities between cleft and noncleft children are more pronounced with increasing age. Children with UCLP also showed a higher prevalence of enamel defects consistent across both age strata; however, multivariate regression adjusting for FP density, cleft status, and age showed no correlation with DMFT\/dmft\/OHI-S.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656261494275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T10:35:36Z","timestamp":1791455736000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association Between Fungiform Papillae Density and Oral Health Status in Children with and Without Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Shweta","family":"Batra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lipika","family":"Gopal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6462-4240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aditya","family":"Talwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics &amp; Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aadya","family":"Batra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashish Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics &amp; Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanu","family":"Nangia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4201-4235","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Puneet","family":"Batra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics &amp; Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rashika","family":"Singhania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riddhi","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics &amp; Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manav Rachna Dental College, SDS, MRIIRS, Faridabad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)31146-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0000000000009591"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10005-2419"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0390"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-024-05242-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.identj.2024.11.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1601-6343.2007.00398.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)60695-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrg2933"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000349911"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","first-page":"229","article-title":"Prevalence of dental anomalies in children with cleft lip and unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate","volume":"16","author":"Rullo R","year":"2015","unstructured":"Rullo R, Festa VM, Rullo R, et al.
