A Retrospective Mixed Longitudinal Study of Tooth Formation in Children With Clefts.

CONCLUSIONS: This report agrees with other contemporary studies, showing childhood catch-up. Older studies observed that clefting caused significant delays that worsened with growth. This potential "seachange" suggests better recovery and quicker normalization of children with clefts, perhaps due to improved management. PMID: 32052656 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
