Research Interests:
My research interests are focused in the area of treatment outcome assessments and care for patients with cleft lip and palate and other craniofacial anomalies. I am presently part of the “Americleft” North American multicentre outcome assessment research group for cleft lip and palate. Present focues include alveolar bone graft outcome assessments, nasolabial esthetics, burden of care of various treatment protocols, and outcome comparisons of infant orthopedic techniques. A study comparing outcome measures between antenatal and post-natal diagnosis of cleft lip is being concluded.
