Abstract
The predisposition sign (microforms) of orofacial clefts in 50 families with history of this congenital defect are studied. We followed - with the help of standard patient records (history, OPG, cast models of dentition) - in 50 cleft patients and their 50 healthy siblings numerical and shape anomalies of dentition.
The observed dental anomalies and anomalies in nostrils are not - according to our results - predisposition indexes - or microforms - or orofacial clefts, and thus cannot be used in the prevention of these defects.
