Dental arch relationships in non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) children of Pakistan

Globally, one out of every 700 live-births are affected by cleft lip and palate (CLP). By occurrence rate, it is one of the most common congenital orofacial birth anomaly. Literature indicates that CLP has a multifactorial origin, but genetics and environmental factors play a vital role and have...

description Globally, one out of every 700 live-births are affected by cleft lip and palate (CLP). By occurrence rate, it is one of the most common congenital orofacial birth anomaly. Literature indicates that CLP has a multifactorial origin, but genetics and environmental factors play a vital role and have been extensively studied individually and in conjunction. A multidisciplinary involvement is absolute to successfully manage and treat CLP. Primary surgical repairs are required to restore function and structure. Numerous designs for repair of CLP have been devised and practiced but the superiority of outcome following a single surgery over the rest has not been established.
