| dc.description.abstract | Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common congenital facial defect. Patients with CLP suffer from feeding, breathing, middle ear infections as well as psychosocial and other problems. The treatment requires interventions from multiple disciplines which start from the first day of life and continue up to the age of 20 to 21 years. Prolong treatment from birth to adulthood is expensive and is a burden for the patient, family and for the society. The facial development of CLP patients often does not follow usual development of growth even after corrective surgeries. Growth impairment becomes progressively apparent as patients reach maturity regardless of the mechanisms. Therefore, an understanding about the anomalies of dentofacial region is important as it determine the facial harmony and balance. This is essential to achieve the ideal goal of treatment of cleft patients. A cross-sectional comparative study was done by direct facial measurements, by measuring lateral cephalometry and dental cast of 75 treated cleft and 75 noncleft Malay subjects. The age range was from 8 to 40 years. The study subjects were divided into three age groups: children (8 to 12yrs), adolescent (13 to 18 yrs) and adult (1 9 to 40 yrs) of both genders. | en_US |
