Orofacial clefts are the most common congenital malformations of the head and neck region,
and approximately three-quarters of these patients have some form of cleft palate deformity …

Objective: To explore the potential viability and limitations of 3D printed models of children
with cleft palate deformity. Background: The advantages of 3D printed replicas of normal …

Cleft lip and/or palate is a congenital malformation with a wide range of presentations, and
its effective treatment necessitates sustained, comprehensive care across an affected child's …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the growth of the various craniofacial
and velopharyngeal structures and examine sex and race effects. Methods: Eight-five …

Objective The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a novel method for examining the
velopharyngeal mechanism using static and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at …

This clinical report describes the implementation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to
evaluate a patient with long-standing velopharyngeal dysfunction. She was referred to the …

among young children (4–8 years of age) with normal anatomy across Black and White …

Purpose The observed sexual dimorphism of velopharyngeal structures among adult
populations has not been observed in the young child (4-to 9-year-old) population. The …

Purpose: Finite element (FE) models have emerged as a powerful method to study
biomechanical complexities of velopharyngeal (VP) function. However, existing models …

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in levator veli palatini (levator)
