Abstract: Dental age and skeletal age are often used by clinicians to evaluate the situation of patients' dental development and their body growth, so as to choose optimal time for treatment. Many studies have shown that congenital deficiencies in patients with cleft lip and palateCLPcontribute to the delay of their dental age and skeletal age, which brings more challenge to doctors when deciding on the time for each step of their sequential treatment. Thus, it is of great value to learn more about the research status of dental age and skeletal age in CLP patients, as well as the influencing factors. The objective of this review is to summarize the research advances of dental age and skeletal age in CLP patients, the influencing factors to their dental age and skeletal age and the correlation between them.;

Key words: Cleft lip and palate, Dental age, Skeletal age
