The purpose of this study was to evaluate transverse skeletal dimensions (maxillary width and facial width) and transverse arch maxillary dimensions (intercanine width and intermolar width) in patients with sequel of Unilateral Cleft Lip Alveolus and Palate (UCLAP). The population consisted of Peruvian children aged 6 to 15 belonging at Cleft Patients Unit of Orthodontics Service of the Institute specialized on Children’s Health, Lima - Perú, during January 2000 to October 2009. The sample consisted of 94 study models (47 belonging to the group with UCLAP sequel and 47 belonging to noncleft patients, NC, control group) and 94 posteroanterior radiographs (47 belonging to the group with UCLAP sequel and 47 belonging to NC group). For the assessment of study models, digital photographs were taken and processed in CorelDraw X4 to find the centroid in the 4 teeth following the considerations used by Moyers, the distances were obtained by scale using Microsoft Excel 2007 measures in the maxilla for the intercanine width centroid to centroid of deciduous or permanent contralateral canines and for the intermolar width centroid to centroid of first permanent contralateral molars. For the evaluation of posteroanterior radiographs cephalometric tracing was performed following Ricketts criteria, using manual method, the distances were measured with digital calipers to obtain more accurate data. Student t test was used for statiscal analysis with a significance level of 0.05. The data showed no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the transverse skeletal dimensions (maxillary width and facial width) of patients with UCLAP sequel and those of non-cleft patients (NC) of 6 to 15 years old. These skeletal dimensions increase with increasing age. No statistically significant differences regarding gender was found in the UCLAP group. However, in the non-celft group (NC) facial width is greater in males and lower in the female gender (p less than 0.05).
