“…Luxor governorates while the right sided was dominant in Aswan governorate. Similar findings also reported in Tanzania population [34], Madagascar population [35] and Malaysian population [36][37][38].…”

Clinical Investigation of Congenital Factor Affecting Craniofacial Morphology of Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate in Japanese Patients

“…Several studies and considerations on the impact of the primary operation, such as the type of cheiloplasty [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and the type of palatoplasty [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] have been reported. The effect of preoperative orthopaedic plate was used or not have been reported too [5,7,16,18,19].…”

“…Many reports have been assessed the multiple congenital and postnatal factors that affect treatment outcome based of dental arch relationship of patients with UCLP [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. As well as, several researches have been published about CM in patients with clefts [4,20,21], however, we know of no clinical research with large enough samples to take account of all congenital factors.…”

Is outcome based cleft research leading somewhere?

“…Extensive research efforts have predicted the treatment outcomes of unilateral cleft lip and palate cases based on the specific indices available. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] We recommend the development of an index which incorporates all growth planes as well as focuses on the cephalometric landmarks. It would enable surgeons to predict the outcome of all types of clefts and plan interventions accordingly.…”
