Treatment of patients with a cleft lip and palate can be challenging. A boy, 15 years 11 months old, with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and a convex profile, transposed teeth and congenitally missing teeth was treated by orthodontic treatment. 3 year posttreatment records showed excellent results with good occlusion,facial balance and harmony, and long-term stability.

This is a case report about the successful orthodontic treatment of a bilateral cleft lip and palate patient by using a combination of bone grafting and subsequent prosthodontic rehabilitation. An adult patient with a bilateral cleft lip and palate presented with a concave profile, anterior and lateral crossbite, a markedly deep overbite, and residual bilateral alveolar clefts. His jaw movement patterns were unstable and irregular due to his collapsed bite. Orthodontic treatment with bilateral bone grafting improved his concave profile by downward and backward rotation of the mandible within the freeway space, and optimum occlusion and functionally stable and smooth jaw movements were obtained. After a 6-year retention period, no skeletal relapse could be detected, and his occlusal stability was satisfactory.

In the daily routine of the Hospital for Research and Rehabilitation of Cleft Lip and Palate, a high frequency of natal/neonatal teeth was observed. Therefore, this retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence of this anomaly in 692 patients with complete unilateral and 327 bilateral cleft lip and palate, who were less than 3 months old, without prior surgery, and registered at the Hospital from 1989 to 1994. A higher prevalence of such teeth was found in the complete bilateral cleft group (10.6%), than in the complete unilateral cleft group (2.02%). Both, however, were higher than that reported for noncleft groups. There were also different characteristics in the appearance of these teeth in cleft patients from those previously related in the literature for normal patients. The conclusion was that these differences constitute another particularity of the cleft lip and palate patient.

Objective: To describe a laboratory modification of the maxillary cast to make an improved nasoalveolar molding plate used in presurgical orthopedics for infants with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Conclusions: Modifying the nasoalveolar molding plate may reduce the presurgical treatment time for the bilateral cleft lip and palate patient.

Abstract Reconstruction of a partially dentate skeletal Class III patient who has had repair of a bilateral cleft lip and palate can be challenging. In this article we present our results with a segmental maxillary distraction to esthetically restore the support of the upper lip and functionally reconstruct the anterior maxillary dentition with implants. Prosthetic considerations were critical to determine the vector of distraction to achieve ideal results.
