AB  - BACKGROUND: The transversal measurement on the dento-alveolar fragments of the 
      maxilla, in the unoperated adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and alveolus 
      are rare and have not been well documented and archived in the scientific 
      journals. The effect of the congenital malformation is obvious in the Unilateral 
      Cleft Lip and Alveolus (UCLA) patients and is well documented. OBJECTIVES: The 
      aim of this study is to investigate whether there are any influences of the final 
      transversal development of the maxilla based on the location and extent of the 
      defect in patients with UCLA. METHODS: 168 adult unoperated UCLA patients (study 
      group) and 24 non cleft patients (control group) participated in this study. 
      Plaster of Paris (POP) casts were made of the maxillary dentition and mesurement 
      were taken using coordinate measuring machine (CCM) (Zeiss Numere, Carl Zeiss, 
      Stuttgart, Germany). RESULT: The mean values of maxillary transverse measurement 
      of first premolar through the second molar of the UCLA and control group patients 
      showed no statistically significant difference. The inter-canine distance was 
      significantly smaller in the UCLA patients than non-cleft patients CONCLUSIONS: 
      The maxillary inter-canine distance in untreated UCLA patients were significantly 
      different from that of non cleft patients. There is narrow and constricted 
      maxillary growth in UCLA patients causing maxillary morphological changes and 
      cosmetic facial changes.
