Objective: To determine whether there is any difference between the cleft and non-cleft sides of the mandible
in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients, or the right and left sides in control patients; and
to determine if there is any difference between the mandibular asymmetry of UCLP patients and that of
control patients. Methods: We examined cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 15 patients
with UCLP and 15 age- and gender-matched control patients. We evaluated 8 linear, 3 surface, and 3 volumetric
measurements and compared the cleft/non-cleft sides of UCLP patients and the right/left sides of
controls. Results: There were no statistically significant gender differences in any linear, surface, or volumetric
measurement. The single significant side-to-side difference in UCLP patients was a longer coronoid
unit on the cleft side than on the non-cleft side (p = 0.046). Body volume was significantly lower in the
UCLP group than in the control group (p = 0.008). Conclusions: In general, UCLP patients have symmetrical
mandibles, although the coronoid unit length is significantly longer on the cleft side than on the
non-cleft side. UCLP patients and controls differed only in body volume.
