About this study
Objectives: The aim of this study is to validate the measurements produced from a new 3D analysis using facial scans in infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
Material and Methods: Infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate will be included in the current study. For all included patients; direct anthropometric measurements, 2D images and facial scans using intraoral scanners will be collected. Measurements produced from the 3 methods will be compared statistically to identify the validity of using the facial scans to assess nasolabial esthetics in infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Nose and lip esthetics (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
