Inclusion criteria encompassed individuals who underwent SABG before the eruption of the cleft-side permanent lateral incisor or, if absent, the permanent ca-nine, and had both preoperative and postoperative CBCT scans. A total of seven measurements of maxillary dimensions in all orthogonal planes, as well as in panoramic reconstruction, were conducted in the CBCT images. The normality of the data was confirmed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. A paired t-test was applied to assess significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative measurements (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
