    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Implant-borne rehabilitation in cleft lip and palate patient are aimed to allow for good orofacial functions, stable occlusion, and adequate support for the naso-labial region. The goal of our study was to evaluate the functional and esthetic results of the implant-born dental rehabilitation of the cleft lip and palate patients in our department. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Our retrospective study concerned patients operated between 1995 and 2010 in our department. All included patients suffered from a cleft alveolus and lip, with or without cleft palate. Dental implants were placed in the bone-grafted alveolus and the end of growth and at distance from the bone graft procedure. Criteria of implant survival and implant-borne rehabilitation success were defined. RESULTS: A total of 78 implants were placed in 43 patients between 1995 and 2010. Two implants were lost (implant survival rate: 97.4%). Despite this loss, all the patients could be rehabilitated with good functional and esthetic results. DISCUSSION: Implant-borne rehabilitation is a reliable solution for prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with cleft lip and palate. This solution allows for avoiding removable prosthesis and dental mutilation.
