A study of facial growth in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate treated by the Oslo CLP Team.

Lateral and frontal cephalometric analysis of a mixed longitudinal survey of 90 individuals with complete bilateral clefts of the lip and palate from the Oslo Growth Archive is described. All subjects were treated and followed-up by the Olso CLP Team according to strictly defined protocols for treatment and documentation. Craniofacial form in this sample is generally similar to that reported for Caucasian subjects treated for this condition elsewhere.
