Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the craniofacial architecture of post-pubertal patients with cleft lip and palate by using Delaire whole skull analysis along with the more commonly used analysis by Segner and Hasund. Materials and methods: For this retrospective study, 177 cephalometric X-Ray films (focus film distance 4m, format 23.5×29.5cm) from a group of patients (114 male, 63 female) of the former Wolfgang Rosenthal Clinic Thallwitz were analyzed. Patients were treated according to the concept of late palate closure (hard palate closure at 4-7 years of age). The X-ray films were scanned with a VIDAR Diagnostic Pro Advantage (Vidar Systems, Herndon, United States) and evaluated in Ony× Ceph (Image Instruments, Chemnitz, Germany) with the cephalometric analyzes by 1) Segner and Hasund, and 2) Delaire (whole skull analysis). Results: In patients with cleft lip and palate, changes of the viscerocranium were accompanied by statistically significant changes to different dimensions of the neurocranium. Discussion: The Delaire analysis provides a comprehensive description of sagittal and vertical craniofacial proportions (HAYNES, CHAU, 1993).Since inaccuracies in analytical tracings of cephalometric radiographs are unavoidable, the results must always be seen in the conte×t of clinical diagnostics (DELAIRE et al., 1981). Conclusions: Cleft lip and palate along with late-closure corrective surgery may cause comple× effects on the entire craniofacial architecture including, but not limited to the facial region. In these patients, the use of a whole skull analysis could benefit clinical assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
