Abstract:
Inaccuracies exist in identifying and recording various types of oral cleft. One of the major reasons for this problem is that no efficient or universally accepted recording system presently exists. The RPL system introduced in this article provides an accurate and systematic numerical recording for the identification of various types of lip and maxillary clefts. The simplicity of the system allows quick and efficient data storage and retrieval.
