[Craniofacial morphology of the complete unilateral cleft lip and palate between the ages of 8-12]. 1990

G Rehák, and E Vári

108 cephalograms of complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients, divided into two groups according to ages, had been compared to 71 normal controls. The study demonstrated that there are basic differences in facial morphology between the groups. The cleft sample has a retrognathic facial configuration with significantly different skeletal sagittal and vertical trend compared to the normal. There are also compensatory dental disorders.
