Neural network tool to measure cleft palate from scans
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a computer “neural network” that uses existing dental impressions, scans, and photos to measure cleft palate features. The goal is to reduce the amount of repeated cleft lip and palate clinic work for patients and families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of cleft lip and palate (a cleft in the lip plus the roof of the mouth).
- There are existing routine records available, such as plaster cast models from mouth impressions.
- You have existing intraoral scans (inside-mouth scans) of the palate.
- There are matching images of the cleft palate on file.
- You do not have a documented decision rejecting the use of your records for research.

This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the shape and movement of the palate after a special type of cleft palate repair surgery. The goal is to see how well the new muscle flap works in helping speech, which could improve future surgeries for other children.
This study tests whether a book-sharing program can help toddlers (20-32 months) who had cleft palate repair improve their language and communication skills. Families will use a smartphone or tablet to record and send videos.
This study tests using a smart camera (artificial intelligence) to help plan surgery for newborns with a single-sided cleft lip and palate. Your baby will have a quick and painless 3D scan of their mouth to guide their doctors, and you'll be closely supported throughout.
This study uses CT scans to map the shape of the palate (roof of the mouth) and a nearby canal, to help dentists plan treatments like numbing shots and tooth extractions. If you have a healthy palate and clear scans, you may help improve care for others.
This study uses computer planning and 3D printed models to help the anesthesia team manage breathing and airway safety during a child’s cleft-related surgery. It may improve planning and safety by matching the anesthesia plan to your child’s anatomy.
