Biological Concepts that Underline Successful Cleft Palate Treatment

On CD-ROM

The powerpoint presentation focuses on concepts derived form analysis of treatment
cases documented from birth to adolescence with serial casts, lateral
cephaloradiographs, panorexes and photographs (facial and intraoral). Approximately
15 sets of records were attained per case. The serial palatal casts were analyzed three dimensionally to show palatal size and form changes at various ages as a result of surgical-orthodontic treatment. These  photographic cast and ceph serial studies are very unique and will cover most of the cleft types presented in his book Cleft Lip and Palate - Diagnosis and Management, Second Edition published by Springer-Verlag and The Cleft Palate Story published by SLACK Incorporated.
