A Study of Facial Growth in Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Treated by the Oslo CLP Team

Abstract

Lateral and frontal cephalometric analysis of a mixed longitudinal survey of 257 individuals with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate from the Oslo CLP Growth Archive is described. All subjects were treated and followed up by the Oslo CLP Team according to strictly defined protocols for treatment and documentation. Craniofacial form for this sample is generally similar to that reported for Caucasian children treated for this condition elsewhere.
