Three-dimensional Analysis of Maxillary Morphology in Infants with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate

CONCLUSIONS: In infants with UCLP, the maxillary alveolar arch was inherently asymmetrical with partially bone missing (about 2 mm). Significant differences in alveolar bone morphology and symmetry exist between different types of infants, with individuals with broad clefts (type C, the largest proportion) having the worst maxillary development.PMID:38414427 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241228903
