Abstract

This prospective study was conducted in King George’s Medical College, Lucknow, India amongst fifty cleft lip and palate cases to study the various archforms. The maxillary arch form was traced from Computer Tomograph sections of all the cases pre and post-operatively. The various patterns of arch forms as observed from CT tracings exhibiting U & V shaped with sub-types denominated as posteri-orly – convergent (c), divergent (d) and parallel (p). This simplified classification can be used in pedi-atric dentistry practice.
