Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To analysis the craniofacial morphology on adult unoperated incomplete cleft palate(UICP)patients. Methods: Thirty cases of adult UICP patients were selected from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanchang University (2008-2014) as the research objects. Thirty cases of adults with normal occlusion were selected at the same region as the control group. Each object was taken the lateral and posteroanterior cephalograms. Winceph8.0 cephalometric analysis software was used to compare the UICP patients with the normal controls. Results: By comparing with the normal control group, S-N, N-ANS, ZAL-ZAR, and Gn-Co values were smaller (P<0.05). N-Ba, ANS-Ptm, Co-Go, and SNA were significantly smaller (P<0.01). SN/GoMe were significantly increased in the UICP patients group (P<0.01) . Conclusion: Cleft palate deformities had obvious inhibitory effect on the craniofacial development.
