Cephalometric Soft Tissue Characteristics of Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients in Relation to Missing Teeth

Table 4

Student -tests were performed to compare the soft tissue measurements between the two groups; lower lip to S-line, mentolabial sulcus depth, and lower lip length values were significantly different between group 1 and group 2.
