Originally 10 cleft centres in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the UK participated in a set of three randomized trials of primary surgery. Three groups of centres (Trials 1, 2, and 3) tested their traditional local surgical protocols (Arms B, C, and D) against a common protocol (Arm A).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate dental arch relationships at age 8 years after four different protocols of primary surgery for UCLP.

Dental arch relationships were analysed using the GOSLON Yardstick by a blinded panel of 11 orthodontists. To assess reliability, Kappa statistics were calculated.
