The body height and weight, and sizes of dental arches in 116 patients with isolated cleft palate were evaluated at 16.9-20.6 years of age. One-stage closure of the soft and hard palate had been done at a mean age of 1.8 years using the Veau-Wardill-Kilner or the Cronin mucoperiosteal palatal V-Y pushback technique. The height attained in both the boys (177.6 cm) and the girls (165.7 cm) was similar to that in the general adult population, even though half of the boys had not reached their final height. The median relative weight for height and sex was 6%. There were no significant differences in dental arch measurements depending on the method of operation but the more palatal operations done the shorter the maxillary and mandibular dental arch widths. The extent of cleft made a significant difference, larger clefts having narrower palatal intercanine widths. Dental arch dimensions were consistently larger in boys than in girls.
对116例单纯腭裂患者在16.9至20.6岁时的身高、体重以及牙弓大小进行了评估。采用Veau-Wardill-Kilner法或Cronin黏膜骨膜腭部V-Y后推技术，在平均1.8岁时对软腭和硬腭进行了一期关闭。男孩（177.6厘米）和女孩（165.7厘米）所达到的身高与一般成年人群相似，尽管一半的男孩尚未达到最终身高。身高与性别对应的相对体重中位数为6%。根据手术方法，牙弓测量结果无显著差异，但腭部手术做得越多，上颌和下颌牙弓宽度越短。腭裂程度有显著差异，裂隙越大，腭部尖牙间宽度越窄。男孩的牙弓尺寸始终大于女孩。
