Three-dimensional assessment of dentofacial deformity in children with clefts
Background: Changes in clinical management; advances in non-invasive three-dimensional imaging; developments in methods of shape analysis. Aim: To assess three-dimensional dentofacial deformity with a view to early appraisal of primary surgical outcome. Results: Significant differences in upper lip …

A Preliminary Investigation into Orofacial Clefts in the Central and Western Regions of Saudi Arabia
Background and aims: Clefts of the lip and palate are the most common types of craniofacial birth defects found worldwide. This study is the first multicentre case-control triad (of children and their parents) in Saudi Arabia that aims to: (I) measure the prevalence of non-syndromic orofacial cleft …

Timing of alveolar cleft bone grafting in maxillary alveolar cleft defects
… statistical analysis. Fifty-nine patients with clefts of the alveolus who acquired secondary alveolar cleft grafts at the Lancaster Cleft Lip and Palate Clinic were studied. A total of 74 affected areas from 15 bilateral and 44 unilateral alveolar cleft patients were available. Timing of the …

The Association of Specific EPHX1 and GSTM1 Gene Polymorphisms with Phenytoin- or Smoking-Associated Birth Defects
… and small but significant risk of oral clefts. Cleft lip/palate occur at a frequency of 1 per 750 to 1000 livebirths in the United States. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) participates in xenobiotic metabolism, including the detoxification of the bioactive arene oxide metabolite of …

Early Speech and Language Development: A Comparison of Typically Developing Children to Children with Cleft Palate.
… the time of assessment for the children with clefts who received a three-month intervention, in a prior study. The findings revealed that both groups of children demonstrated the same amount of speech and language growth as well as the cleft group exhibiting a decrease in compensatory …

Do you get what I mean? Contrastive Inference and Comprehension in Children
… Scalar implicatures, adjectives, and it-clefts show evidence that accessibility of alternatives facilitates children’s success in these cases. However, it is unclear how 4 to 7 year old children will utilize contrastive inference and exhaustification when the context is ambiguous as to …
