Abstract

The need for a simple, routinely applicable method for morphologic analysis o f maxillary arch in cleft patients resulted in development of a new original, objective and computerized method. The authors present the rationale and procedure o f this method which is extremely suitable for clinical documentation, follow up and clinical investigation o f cleft patients. The descriptive factors are expressed in relative numbers — rations of asymmetry and segment displacement. The relative numbers enable comparative analysis between arches of different size.
