    Author: Avhad R, Sar R, Tembhurne J.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2014 Sep; 112(3):676-9. PubMed ID: 24674805.
    Abstract:
    A cleft lip and palate consists of fissures of the upper lip and/or palate, and is the most commonly seen orofacial anomaly that involves the middle third of the face. Early treatment of patients with a cleft lip and palate is important because of esthetic, functional, and psychological concerns. Nasoalveolar molding provides excellent results when started immediately after birth. This clinical report describes the presurgical management of an infant with a complete unilateral cleft of the soft palate, hard palate, alveolar ridge, and lip.
