Volumetric analysis reveals normal TMJ morphology in cleft lip and palate, suggesting adaptive remodeling.
Despite craniofacial variations associated with CLP, TMJ morphology remains within normal anatomical limits. The findings suggest that adaptive remodeling rather than structural deficiency preserves TMJ integrity in CLP patients. These CBCT-based data provide reference values to aid orthodontic and orthognathic treatment planning.
