Prevalence of cleft uvula among 2,732 Danes

A total of 2,732 patients at the Royal Dental College, Copenhagen, were studied for occurrence of cleft uvula. The prevalence was 1.13%, and the ratio of partial to total clefts was 30:1. From a comparison with results of previous studies, it is concluded that the prevalence of cleft uvula in the Danish population appears to be in the same range as in other white populations which have been studied.
