title: Cleft lip and palate and related disorders: issues for future research of high priority.
abstract: On October 14 to 17, 1987, a meeting entitled "State of the Art Conference: Multidisciplinary Management of Cleft Lip and Palate" was held in Iowa City. The major purpose of the conference was to review the available knowledge concerning management of unilateral cleft lip and palate from the perspectives of surgery, speech-language pathology, and orthodontics. The closing feature of the conference was the identification of issues for future research. Participants identified issues of high priority that were then discussed by the entire conference faculty. This paper reports the summary of that discussion and the recommendations of the Conference.
