Normative head shapes for pediatric patients have wide application for craniofacial surgery including planning, practice, standarized operative repair, and standardized measurement and reporting of outcomes.

A high-fidelity cleft palate simulator has been evaluated as realistic, anatomically accurate, and valuable as a training tool. The simulator was successfully integrated into a training workshop, which resulted in significant knowledge increase on anatomy and the procedure and perceived confidence and comfort in performing a cleft palate repair.
