INTRODUCTION Midline cleft of mandible, classified as Tessier 30 clefts is extremely rare, with less than 100 reported cases in the latest studies. Variations in severity and associated malformations have been reported before.

In this study we have developed an application of a new method for multicriteria decision analysis namely Intercriteria Decision Analysis (ICDA) method. The method is based on the apparatus of the index matrices and the intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The ICDA method gives possibility to compare some criteria or estimated by them objects. The ICDA has been used to evaluate and select growth rate mod...
