  • Title: [Interactions between oral surgery and orthodontics in the treatment of children with cleft lip and cleft palate].
    Author: Shetty DK, Wittstock C.
    Journal: Stomatol DDR; 1979 Dec; 29(12):930-6. PubMed ID: 298407.
    Abstract:
    The oral-surgical and the orthodontic treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate are interdependent. Consequently, they cannot be performed separately. In most cases, a continuous coordinated treatment planning by both specialties, from the first day of life, will permit to obtain optimal treatment results. The ultimate aim of co-ordinated treatment is not only the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation, but also the securing of the age-related growth of the midface.
