“…The Americleft study also found variable soft tissue midface retrusion with the least favourable profile (centre B) similar to our study . The CBCLP soft tissue a′‐n′‐b′ was considerably more retrusive than found by Bartzela et al (2011) …”

Objective: (a) To establish baseline lateral craniofacial morphology and soft tissue profile outcomes for New Zealand children with complete unilateral and complete bilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP/CBCLP) and determine differences in relation to demographic characteristics including cleft type, sex and ethnicity and (b) To compare these outcomes to similar international studies. Settings and Sample Population: Nation-wide prospective and retrospective cephalometric analysis of 76 patients with CUCLP and 23 patients with CBCLP presecondary alveolar bone graft.Materials and Methods: Assessment was undertaken by three experienced orthodontists blinded to patient identity. A total of 13 hard tissue and 8 soft tissue landmarks were identified allowing for an assessment of 16 angular, three linear and one ratio variables. Inter-assessor reliability was determined by pre-defined measurement error thresholds. Results:Inter-assessor reliability of cephalometric landmarks restricted reporting to 10 hard tissue, four soft tissue and one ratio variables. CUCLP had greater midface and mandibular retrusion than CBCLP. Females had greater midface and mandibular prominence and smaller nasal projections. The Pacific and Māori groups had more retrusive midfacial profiles, and the Pacific group had more prominent mandibles. A sub-analysis of New Zealand European CUCLP results found they were closely aligned to Eurocleft and Americleft study centres with less favourable outcomes. Conclusions:The reliability of a number of cephalometric measurements was poor.

“…[6][7][8] It appears that the scarring produced by the primary surgical repair is a major etiologic factor for the maxillary deficiency. 9 A favorable facial morphology is a key aspect of treatment outcome in patients affected by CLP, 10 and the role of orthodontists for these patients' treatment is substantial, particularly in the improvement of their facial esthetics and dental occlusion. 11 In the literature, several studies have assessed the hard-tissue and soft-tissue morphologies of patients affected by unilateral CLP.…”

“…Additionally, it is not possible to archive craniofacial surface morphology. Also used for decades are two dimensional (2D) x-ray cephalometry [7]–[9] and photography [3], [10] and even today these are the most commonly used records for dento-skeletal and facial diagnosis. The advantages of these 2D imaging techniques are rapid acquisition, archival capabilities and low cost.…”

ContextTechnological advancements have led craniofacial researchers and clinicians into the era of three-dimensional digital imaging for quantitative evaluation of craniofacial growth and treatment outcomes.ObjectiveTo give an overview of soft-tissue based methods for quantitative longitudinal assessment of facial dimensions in children until six years of age and to assess the reliability of these methods in studies with good methodological quality.Data SourcePubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus and CINAHL were searched. A hand search was performed to check for additional relevant studies.Study SelectionPrimary publications on facial growth and treatment outcomes in children younger than six years of age were included.Data ExtractionIndependent data extraction by two observers. A quality assessment instrument was used to determine the methodological quality. Methods, used in studies with good methodological quality, were assessed for reliability expressed as the magnitude of the measurement error and the correlation coefficient between repeated measurements.ResultsIn total, 47 studies were included describing 4 methods: 2D x-ray cephalometry; 2D photography; anthropometry; 3D imaging techniques (surface laser scanning, stereophotogrammetry and cone beam computed tomography). In general the measurement error was below 1 mm and 1° and correlation coefficients range from 0.65 to 1.0.ConclusionVarious methods have shown to be reliable. However, at present stereophotogrammetry seems to be the best 3D method for quantitative longitudinal assessment of facial dimensions in children until six years of age due to its millisecond fast image capture, archival capabilities, high resolution and no exposure to ionizing radiation.
