Accuracy and Retention of Molding Plates Used for Infants with Cleft Lip and Palate Fabricated from Different Materials: A Cross-Sectional Clinical Study
CONCLUSION: PET-G plates demonstrated superior accuracy and retention compared to PMMA, with a significant difference observed in both accuracy and retention. Furthermore, the addition of denture adhesive had a positive effect on retention for both materials.PMID:37801511 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231202592 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Multidisciplinary Optimal Outcomes Reporting and Team Clinic Retention in Isolated Nonsyndromic Cleft Palate
CONCLUSIONS: Optimal outcomes and retention in team clinic were not statistically significantly associated, but clinically relevant associations were found between patients in the most disadvantaged quartile of social vulnerability and their outcomes. A patient-centered approach, including caregiver education about long-term care for patients with cleft palate, would allow for enhanced resource utilization to improve retention for patients of concern.PMID:37801491 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231205974 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Measuring the Unilateral Cleft Lip Nasal Deformity: Lateral Deviation of Subnasale Is a Clinical and Morphologic Index of Unrepaired Severity
CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative measures of severity transcend cleft type and can be used to grade clinical severity. Lateral deviation of subnasale was the best measure of severity and may be used as a surrogate of uncoupled premaxillary growth; it should be recorded as an index of pre-operative severity with every cleft lip repair. The correlation of other measures evaluated clarify treatment priorities and could potentially be used to grade outcomes.PMID:37787163 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231202173 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
