Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Katy A Bednar"
- Katy A Bednar's research focuses on craniofacial abnormalities, particularly examining tissue deficiencies in infants with congenital conditions such as unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).
- In her 2018 study, she utilized 3D scanning techniques to quantify the palatal and alveolar tissue areas in infants with UCLP, comparing them to age-matched infants without clefts.
- The findings highlighted significant differences in the surface area measurements, indicating intrinsic deficiencies in those with UCLP, which could inform surgical and therapeutic approaches in treating affected infants.
