RESUMO
The aim of this study was to evaluate esthetically the facial profile of 30 adult Caucasian unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP)patients, without syndromes, of both genders, with ages ranging from 17 years 3 months to 30 years 9 months (mean age = 23 years 3 months), rehabilitated at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies (HRACUSP). Sixty profile photographs of the selected sample were taken, 30 of the right profile and 30 of the profile. These photographs were subjectively evaluated by 25 examiners divided into 5 categories according to their professional activity: 5 orthodontists and 5 plastic surgeons dealing with CLP, 5 orthodontists and 5 plastic surgeons without experience in the CLP field and 5 laymen by means of scores that ranged from 1 to 9, the facial profiles were classified into 3 categories: esthetically unpleasant (scores 1 to 3) esthetically acceptable (scores 4 to 6) and esthetically pleasant (scores 7 to 9). The findings showed that the patients facial profiles were classified as esthetically acceptable, with variations among the categories of examiners. The examiners of the HRAC gave the best scores in the esthetic judgement due to their Knowledge of limitations related to the rehabilitation process.
