Introduction: Individuals with cleft lip and palate (CLP) may present important dental anomalies. Objective: This study aims to compare mesiodistal (MD) and vestibulopalatal/lingual (VP/L) dental measurements in adult patients with CLP and patients without CLP. Materials and methods: The sample of this study consisted of 146 adult individuals, of both sexes, in which 73 of them were from the case group (with CLP) and 73 were from the control group (without CLP). Clinical data such as sex and age were collected. For the case group, the type of cleft was also evaluated. In addition, plaster models were evaluated to obtain dental measurements by calibrated examiners. The maximum mesiodistal (MD) and vestibulo-palatal/lingual (VP/L) measurement of all permanent teeth was considered. The results obtained were submitted to statistical analysis, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: In the upper arch, the central incisors (CI) were smaller in the case group for the MD and VP measures when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The lateral incisors (LI) and canine (C) teeth were smaller only in the VP distance (p < 0.05). Regarding the type of cleft, tooth 11 was smaller in patients with cleft lip and palate than in patients with cleft lip only (p < 0.05). In the lower arch, there were differences only in the VL measurements between the groups, the CI and LI presented smaller measurements in individuals with CLP, while teeth 36 and 44 were larger (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Individuals with CLP have certain teeth in different sizes when compared to individuals without CLP. Additionally, the type of cleft is associated with the size of the upper maxillary central incisors.
