 # The view which best demonstrates inflammation and temporomandibular joint effusion are:
A. T2 weighted MR images
B. T1 weighted MR images
C. Lateral tomogram
D. Panoramic radiograph

The correct answer is:

B. Unilateral and bilateral crossbite

Explanation:
After cleft palate repair, patients often experience unilateral or bilateral crossbite due to maxillary growth deficiencies. Surgical intervention and scarring can inhibit the forward and lateral growth of the maxilla, leading to discrepancies between the maxillary and mandibular arches. This results in crossbites, which are common in individuals with repaired cleft palate.

Other options explained:

  • A. Normal occlusion: Rarely achieved without orthodontic intervention due to maxillary growth issues.
  • C. Anterior open bite: Not a typical finding unless associated with other conditions or habits.
  • D. Anterior deep bite: Uncommon in cleft palate cases as the maxillary hypoplasia usually prevents such occlusion.
