asal Functions of Operated Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients Compared with Skeletal Class III Individuals

Completed

• Conditions: Respiratory - Other respiratory disorders / diseases; Cleft Lip-Palate; Oral and Gastrointestinal - Other diseases of the mouth, teeth, oesophagus, digestive system including liver and colon; Alveolar Cleft

• Registration Number: ACTRN12618002000280
• Lead Sponsor: Ataturk University

Brief Summary

The present study sample consisted of 16 patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (UCLP) and 16 non-Cleft control group individuals. The results showed that there were no differences between the UCLP and control groups in terms of age and sex. In terms of total nasal resistance, it was shown that the UCLP group data had statistically significantly higher nasal resistance than the control group for both inspiration and expiration. Three subgroups compared based on nasal side resistances for both inspiration and expiration. The nasal side resistance of control group showed statistically significantly superior results compared with the cleft sides and non-cleft sides of UCLP group during inspiration and expiration. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference between the nasal resistance of the cleft side and the non-cleft side of the UCLP individuals during the inspiration and expiration.
