The difference between the chronologic age and dental age was 0.61 years in the cleft group and 0.15 years in the control group. The delay in tooth development was observed in the cleft group. 2, In the cleft group, there was no difference in the delay of tooth development between the boys and the girls. 3. In the cleft group, there was no difference in the delay of tooth development between the maxilla and the mandible. 4.
