Three-dimensional longitudinal assessment of nasal development with and without Nasoalveolar molding therapy in cleft lip and palate patients
This study, using 3D imaging, demonstrates the clinically relevant capability of PNAM to improve nasal morphology compared to conventional treatment, potentially enhancing primary cheiloplasty outcomes. The longitudinal design three-dimensionally tracks preoperative and postoperative changes over two years, with further investigation needed for long-term stability.
