To evaluate the tooth lengths, crown to root ratios (CRRs), and alveolar bone support (ABS) around cleft-adjacent maxillary central incisors (U1s) in patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus (UCLA) and to investigate the relationships between CRR and ABS. This is a retrospective study. Cleft Lip and Palate Care Center of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China. Fifty-eight Chinese patients with UCLA. Cone beam computed tomography data from 58 nonsyndromic patients with UCLA (36 males, 22 females; mean age = 12.65 ± 3.64 years) were evaluated. Crown length and root length, alveolar bone thickness (ABT), and the distances between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest on 4 surfaces of cleft-adjacent U1 were measured and compared with those of noncleft side in the same patients. Crown to root ratio and frequency of dehiscence were calculated and comparisons were also made between cleft and noncleft sides. Regression analysis was performed to explore the association between CRR and ABS. The CRR of cleft-adjacent U1 and alveolar bone crest heights (ACHs) on the 4 surfaces were significantly greater than those of noncleft side (P < .01). A 3 mm labial, all lingual, and apico-distal ABTs decreased on the cleft side (P < .01). A positive correlation was found between lingual ACH and CRR (R = 0.316, P < .05), between the 3 mm (R = 0.417, P < .05) and 6 mm labial (R = 0.448, P < .05) ABT and CRR. A negative correlation was found between the 3 mm and 6 mm labial ABTs and the root length. It can be suggested that the CRR is related to ACH and ABT. The lingual ACH, the 3 mm, and 6 mm labial ABTs tend to increase with the increasing CRR.
