  • Title: Prosthodontic management of patient with cleft lip/palate using maxillary overdenture and swing-lock attachment mechanism. Clinical report.
    Author: Turkyilmaz I.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2008; 74(4):62-4. PubMed ID: 18788184.
    Abstract:
    The oral rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients is challenging; and many of these patients are suffering because they received insufficient dental treatment. Several techniques, including surgeries, alveolar bone grafts, orthodontic appliances and advanced prosthodontic rehabilitation, have been proposed for the oral rehabilitation of CLP patients. This case report describes a maxillary overdenture that is supported by both teeth and soft tissue. Additional retention and stability have been obtained by a swing-lock attachment mechanism.
