Exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in utero can result in osteogenic defect during palatogenesis, but the effects on other craniofacial bones and underlying mechanisms remain to be characterized. By treating pregnant mice with TCDD (40 μg/kg) at the vital craniofacial patterning stages (embryonic day 8.5, 10.

Background: Transesutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO) is a method of correcting midfacial hypoplasia (MH) secondary to cleft lip and palate (CLP) without osteotomy. However, there has been little research on how the morphology of the cranial base changes postoperatively or whether any correction of the cranial base occurs.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 35 pediatric patients with MH secondary to CLP, who underwent TSDO treatment.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), such as the CLEFT-Q, have become essential for outcomes in patients with CL/P. Normative values of the CLEFT-Q for non-CL/P peers have not yet been established. This study aims to establish normative values for the CLEFT-Q in the general Dutch population.

Objective: Decision-making for elective cleft lip and nose revisions varies widely, from patient-led decisions to more paternalistic approaches. As these procedures incur additional scarring that may impact future interventions, patients should be equipped to participate in these surgical decisions. We thus developed a decision aid based on international standards, and to ensure methodologic rigor, we sought feedback from other surgeons regarding shared decision-making and potential barriers to adopting the decision aid.
