A longitudinal three-center study of craniofacial morphology at 6 and
12 years of age in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and
palate
Abstract
In this longitudinal study, the craniofacial
morphology and evaluated soft tissue profile changes, at 6 and 12 years
of age in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (CBCLP)
were compared. Lateral cephalograms from 148 patients with CBCLP,
treated consecutively at three European cleft centers, Gothenburg (n (A)
= 37), Nijmegen (n (B) = 26), and Oslo (n (C) = 85), were evaluated.
Eighteen hard tissue and ten soft tissue landmarks were digitized.
Paired t test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple
regression models were applied for statistical analysis.
