Evaluation of Efficiency the Full Digital Nasoalveolar Molding (F-D-NAM) on Nose and Lip Esthetics and Maxillary Arch Changes in Infants With Cleft Lip and Palate

June 17, 2026 updated by: Mohamed Abd El-Ghafour, Cairo University

Objectives: The aim of this study is to validate the measurements produced from a new 3D analysis using facial scans in infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Material and Methods: Infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate will be included in the current study. For all included patients; direct anthropometric measurements, 2D images and facial scans using intraoral scanners will be collected. Measurements produced from the 3 methods will be compared statistically to identify the validity of using the facial scans to assess nasolabial esthetics in infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
