Transverse Stability after RPE in y Cleft Palate Patients Transverse Stability after RPE in y Cleft Palate Patients
Etiology of Cleft Palate • Failure of the palatal shelves to fuse in utero • Multifactorial -Coronal slice of developing embryo-
Epidemiology of Cleft Palate • 1.5 Clefts for every 1,000 births in U.S.A. (Wyszynski 2002) • Incidence of clefts is on the rise (Tolarova et al. 1998)
