Abstract
A simulated trial was carried out to assess the accuracy of cephalometric radiography with the aid of implants in infants receiving cleft lip and palate orthopaedic treatment. The stability of the implants is also discussed. It was concluded that the technique is of limited value since the implants may be disturbed by the developing teeth and because slight inaccuracy in head positioning may lead to substantial errors of interpretation.Keywords
