title: [Quality of life in patients with craniofacial disorders].
abstract: Children with a serious congenital craniofacial disorder experience a variety of problems. Research on quality of life in these children has commenced relatively late. A specially developed questionnaire, the Child Oral Health Impact Profile, was used for a group of cleft lip and palate children and their parents. The study set out to determine the extent to which the answers given by the children corresponded to those of their parents. The children's perception of oral health-related quality of life appeared to differ from that of their parents.
