Influence of the surgical method used for lip closure on the shape of the maxillary arch: a retrospective 3D analysis of plaster models
The 3D analysis did not depend on classical reference points. It provided new information for assessing the collapse of maxillary segments. This analysis is a valuable tool for evaluating the impact of surgical techniques on maxillary arch development in children with UCLP. These findings advocate the integration of advanced 3D imaging tools in cleft surgery planning and postoperative assessment.
