The antero-posterior width and medio-lateral width of the GPF, the distance between the right and left GPFs, the mesio-distal location of the GPF with respect to the molar teeth, the distance between the GPF and the hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate, and the distance between the GPF and the palatine alveolar ridge were measured on these images. The Kruskal\u2013Wallis and Chi-square tests were employed to ascertain if there were any notable disparities across the 3 groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The GPF's antero-posterior width and medio-lateral width, and distance from the hamulus and palatine alveolar ridge were considerably smaller in the unilateral cleft lip\/palate (UCL\/P) and bilateral cleft lip\/palate (BCL\/P) patients than in the NC individuals. However, no significant difference was observed between the BCL\/P and UCL\/P groups in terms of these parameters.
