Objective, computerized analysis of the maxillary arch was used for morphologic studies of cleft palate characteristics. A method for maxillary arch analysis was developed and used in 10 randomly selected, cleft palate patients. The computerized analysis procedure is described in detail.
The need for a simple, routinely applicable method for morphologic analysis of maxillary arch in cleft patients resulted in development of a new original, objective and computerized method. The authors present the rationale and procedure of this method which is extremely suitable for clinical documentation, follow up and clinical investigation of 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.

Anteriorly based dorsal tongue flaps were used in 19 cleft patients for closing large palatal defects. The procedure was successful in 17 patients. One patient had partial marginal necrosis after division of the pedicle, while another had complete necrosis of the distal part of the flap. Our results support the view that for success of the procedure, adequate length, width and thickness of the flap are important, while the height of the palate also plays a role.
