[Cephalometry of cleft lip and palate].

Abstract

This study demonstrated that there were basic differences in facial morphology between patients with cleft lip and palate and subjects with non clefting. The findings are obtained on cephalometric analysis of skull's teleradiograph L-L. These differences are for all pratical purposes confined to the maxillary complex. The mandible appear, instead, normal unless in the position in every respect in the not cleft lip and palate subjects.
