Background and Purpose: The Goslon Yardstick is one of the most commonly used methods to assess dental arch relationships of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. This system was originally applied to dental casts. For reasons of economy and convenience, we aimed to determine whether intraoral photographs could substitute for dental casts for rating dental arch relationships. Methods: Records of 58 patients with nonsyndromic complete unilateral cleft lip and palate from the Chang Gung Craniofacial Center, Taipei, Taiwan, were used in this study. A set of dental casts and digital intraoral photographs taken at around 9 years of age were available for all patients. An experienced examiner rated the dental casts using the Goslon Yardstick to provide the reference scores. The other three examiners rated the intraoral photographs and repeated the rating 1 week later to calculate inter- and intraexaminer reliability. The photographic scores for each examiner were then compared with the reference scores to determine the validity of the photographs. Results: The results showed no significant difference between the rating of dental casts and photographs using the Goslon Yardstick. Reliability was also high for rating on photographs. Conclusions: Intraoral photographs appear to be a viable alternative to the application of the Goslon Yardstick on dental casts.

Objective To investigate the reliability of using photographs of study casts as an alternative to casts for rating dental arch relationships. Design Repeated-measures study. Setting Cleft Palate Center of the University Medical Center Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Patients Records of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) (n = 49) at the age of 9 years were included. Mean Outcome Measure(s) Statistics of intra- and interexaminer agreement. Results No significant differences were found between the rating of dental casts and photographs of dental casts, using the Goslon Yardstick. Conclusions Photographs of dental casts provide a consistent, reproducible method for rating dental arch relationships in patients with UCLP at the age of 9 years and provide a reliable alternative to the application of the Goslon Yardstick on dental casts.

Sixty-eight children born with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate were studied using dental casts taken at ages 0-0,1; 0,2-0,4; and 0,5-0,6 years of age. They were all treated with preoperative maxillofacial orthopedics using an external device (T-traction). The treatment was started after the first model was taken. Dental casts were analyzed regarding the morphology of the cleft region and the maxillary segments before and after treatment. The measurements were compared with measurements on dental casts of nontreated cleft children of similar age. The results suggest that a more normal anatomy of the cleft region occurs during the first 6 months of life whether preoperative maxillofacial orthopedics (T-traction) is used or not. However, this normalized growth seems to occur faster with the T-traction.
