title: Cephalometric findings in two cases with unrepaired bilateral cleft lip and palate.
abstract: Two cases with unoperated bilateral cleft lip and palate were examined clinically and cephalometrically and compared to matched normals. The findings indicate a severe premaxillary skeletal protrusion which results in a maxillary-mandibular discrepancy. The maxillary incisor inclination was acceptable, while the mandibular incisors were relatively more lingually inclined in the cleft group. Surgical management of one case necessitated premaxillary resection.
