Longitudinal dental maturation of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate: A case ‐control cohort study

ConclusionNo difference in dental maturation between UCLP and controls in the 9‐ to 13‐year‐old group was found. However, there was diametrical difference in dental maturation in the 5‐ to 9‐year‐old group, which attenuated as they grew older. There was a consistently higher risk of asymmetrical tooth formation in children with UCLP than in controls.
