Cleft Palate Rehabilitation: A Combined Orthodontic Surgical and Prosthodontic Approach.

Cleft lip and palate are one of the common birth defects occurring in 1.7 per 1000 live births in India [1]. The presence of cleft palate results in growth deficiency of maxilla in all the three dimensions leading to both aesthetic and functional problems. This clinical report describes the combined orthodontic, surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult patient with incomplete surgical closure of congenital unilateral cleft lip and palate deformity who had not undergone any orthodontic and prosthodontic intervention.
