A Cephalometric Intercenter Comparison of Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: Analysis at 5 and 10 Years of Age and Long Term

Abstract

Although no statistically significant differences in the cephalometric measurements were found long term, the need for orthognathic surgery was clinically judged to be larger in the Milan sample. On the other hand, although the Milan protocol seemed to require more final jaw surgery, only the cases that needed an additional orthognathic procedure in the Milan group will undertake a third surgical step, while the Oslo protocol included three surgical steps for all the patients.
