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 imaging to examine how the palate (roof of mouth) heals after a specific surgical repair technique for cleft palate. The goal is to understand how well a modified surgical approach works and whether it improves outcomes for patients.
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 trial looks at how the shape of the roof of the mouth (palate) relates to age and nearby anatomy using CT scans taken for dental reasons. It may help explain why some people have different responses to dental treatments.
This study looks at how well early orthopedic treatment works for babies born with cleft lip and/or palate before they have surgery. It may help improve treatment plans and outcomes.
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.
