Dental CT still represents the gold-standard for inspecting the dental roots and their surrounding bone.

The surgical separation of the maxilla from the sphenoid is an important means of preventing complications in the region of the cranial base in adults.

In the presence of a continuous cleft in the jaw and palate area, orthodontic forces (quadhelix) are apparently already sufficient to allow a skeletal expansion of the maxilla. Maxillary expansion using the quadhelix appliance represents a reasonable alternative to using conventional rapid maxillary expansion appliances among cleft patients.
