The aim of this study was to compare facial development in subjects with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP) treated with two different surgical protocols. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 61 patients (42 boys, 19 girls; mean age, 10.9 years; SD, 1) treated consecutively in Warsaw with one-stage repair and 61 age-matched and sex-matched patients treated in Oslo with two-stage surgery were selected to evaluate craniofacial morphology.

Design: Retrospective intercenter outcome study. Patients : Upper dental casts from 129 children with repaired UCLP and 30 controls were analyzed by the trigonometric method.
Objective: To compare the dental arch relationship following one-stage repair of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in Warsaw with a matched sample of patients treated by the Oslo Cleft Team.
Material: Study models of 61 children (mean age, 11.2; SD, 1.
Objective: To compare results of Golson Yardstick measurement of dental arch relationships in a sample of 10-year-old Polish children with results of the Golson measurement in published reports.
Materials And Methods: Plaster models of 28 consecutively treated subjects with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) that was repaired with a one-stage simultaneous closure performed in the first year of life. All individuals were born between 1994 and 1995.
Objective: To assess mandibular structure and spatial position following one-stage simultaneous repair of the unilateral cleft lip and palate.
Design: Forty boys and 17 girls with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent one-stage simultaneous repair of the cleft by the same surgeon at the age of 9.23 months (standard deviation = 1.
Purpose: This report presents the results of distraction osteogenesis using an extra oral device in 28 patients with different grade of vertical mandibular ramus hypoplasia.
Material And Method: 28 patients (aged 2 to 15 years) with hemifacial microsomia underwent unilateral lengthening of the ascending ramus using unidirectional extraoral devices (Molina distractor). 3D-CT and cephalometric radiographs were analysed to determine the placement of the mandibular osteotomy and select the appropriate placement of the distraction device.
