INTRODUCTION
 It can be defined as “a furrow in the palatal vault” (clp). /
A breach in the continuity of palate.
 Cleft lip or harelip is most common congenital
deformities seen at the time of birth.
 No group of patients is more profoundly handicapped in
a personal sense than those who are facially disfigured.
Whatever the cause, the high visibility of facial deformity
creates special difficulties related to social identity and
interaction. Initially reaction towards this person are
universally negative even the health professionals
initially have negative response as well.

5. 5
 To tell simply face is the part of body
with which a person faces the world.
So for the health professionals and us.

6. 6
 The management of cleft lip and palate presents a great
challenge not only because it involves face that is the most
exposed organ of the human body but also because of
associated various anatomical and functional problems, which
continue to show up with age.
WHY?

7. 7
 Facial esthetics
 Feeding difficulties( poor oral seal and nasal reflux)
 Speech problems poor pharyngeal seal and oronasal communication
 Chronic middle ear problems( poor Eustachian tube function)
 Management team:-
Paediatrician
Orthodontist
Surgeon
Otolaryngologist
Audiologist
Speech pathologist
Social worker
Psychiatrist
Geneticist
Prosthodontist
Paediatric dentist
Radiologist
Neurologist
Neurosurgeon

AIMS OF TREATMENT.
 Regardless of the type of oral cleft, an inter-disciplinary team of
specialists should provide the care
 There should be a team leader or co-coordinator that facilitates the
function and efficiency of the team and ensures co- ordinate care
to the patient.
 Treatment plan at any stage should be discussed and implemented
based on team recommendations.

9. 9
 The principal role of the inter- disciplinary team should be to
provide integrated case management to assure quality and
continuity of patient care and long term follow ups.
 Parents should be provided with written materials on feeding
and all aspects of care and management of the child with
craniofacial deformity such an inter-disciplinary co-ordinate
team approach with defined treatment protocols have shown
better treatment outcome and has reduced the overall burden
of care of the child and parents.

HISTORY
 Harelip has been reported as back as 1000AD.
 Parea, a French surgeon (in 1561) first used the Obturator.
 Le monnier French dentist [1764] –surgical repair of cleft palate.
 In 1826, DIFFENBACH suggested separation of soft tissue of
the palate from the underlying bone, also recommended use of
lateral relaxation incisions in the soft tissue of the hard palate
region to close clefts of velum & hard palate.
 Fergusson in 1844 & von lagenback in 1862 –laid emphasis on
creating mucoperiosteal flap.
 During First World War Harold gilles and POMFRET KILNER in
London, victor view in Paris also developed skill to repair cleft.

11. 11
 “we must strive
for maximum
harmony and
balance as near
to normal as
conditions will
allow”- Tweed.
“To strive, to seek to find,
and not to yield” –
Tennyson
“ The essential goal of cleft care
is restoration of the patient to a
‘normal’ life unhindered by
handicap or disability” – Shaw
et al.

12. 12
PREVALENCE & INCIDENCE
 The incidence of cleft lip and/or palate has been reported
in early studies to be as low as 1 in 3000 in Negroids to as
high as 4.9/1000 live births in Afghans.
 Studies done in India among such communities reveal an
incidence of 1 in every 600-1000 births.
 The incidence of CLP is highest among the Mongoloids.
Cleft lip is common among males while cleft palate is
more common among females. Unilateral clefts account
for 80% of the incidence while bilateral clefts account for
the remaining 20%. Among the unilateral clefts involving
the left side are seen in 70% of the cases.

EMBRYOLOGY

14. 14
EMBRYOLOGY
CLEFT MAY OCCUR DUE TO:
1. FAILURE OF THE PROCESSES TO COME IN CONTACT
2. FAILURE OF EPITHELIAL FUSION AFTER CONTACT
3. FAILURE OF MESENCHYMAL CONSOLIDATION
4. RUPTURE OF THE PRIMARY PALATE SUBSEQUENT TO
FUSION
5. REDUCED FACIAL MESENCHYME
6. INCRESED FACIAL WIDTH
7. DISTORTION OR MALPOSITION OF THE PROCESSES.

15. 15
 Formation of the Palate
The palate develops in 2 parts . viz;
1.The primary palate
2.The secondary palate
 Palate is formed by the contribution of the
maxillary processes and frontonasal process.
The medial nasal process forms the small
triangular, median part of the palate called the
primary palate.

16. 17

17. 18
PROBABLE REASONS
 Complete tongue obstruction over a time specific period
(Poswillo and Roy and Humphrey).
 Alteration in the shelf force:-
 Due to alterations in mucopolysaccharide synthesis (
Ferguson)
 Administration of certain drugs like phenobarbitone and vit
A. (Smiley and R.Nanda)
 Alteration in the cranial flexure ( Harris)
 Disturbance in the epithelial fusion ( Smiley)
 Alteration in the vascularity of the region ( Cooper)

18. 19
CLASSIFICATION
 Davis and Ritchie classifications (1922).
This is a morphological classification based on the location of
the cleft relative to the alveolar process.
Group I – Pre alveolar cleft:-They are clefts involving only the lip and are sub
classified as:
Unilateral
Bilateral
Median
Group II - Post alveolar clefts:- This group comprises of different degrees of hard
and soft palate clefts that extend up to the alveolar ridge
Group III - Alveolar clefts:- They are complete clefts involving palate, alveolar ridge
and the lip. They can be subdivided in to ;
Unilateral
Bilateral
Median

19. 20

20. 21
Veau’s Classification (1931).
 Group –1: They are clefts involving the soft palate only
 Group –2: They are clefts of the hard and soft palate extending up to
the Incisive- foramen.
 Group-3: They are complete unilateral clefts involving the soft
palate, the palate, lip and the alveolar ridge.
 Group -4: They are complete bilateral clefts affecting the soft palate,
the hard palate, lip and alveolar ridge.

21. 22
Fogh Anderson (1942)
 Group -1:-They are clefts of the lip.
It can be subdivided in to :-
Single - unilateral or median clefts.
Double – Bilateral cleft
 Group-2: They are clefts of the lip and the palate. They are once again
sub-classified into:
Single – Unilateral clefts
Double – Bilateral clefts
 Group –3:They are cleft of the palate extending up to the incisive foramen.

22. 23
Schuchard and Pfeifer’s symbolic
classification:
 This classification makes use of a chart made up of a vertical block
of three pairs of rectangles with an inverted triangle at the bottom.
 The inverted triangle represents the soft palate while the rectangles
represent the lip, alveolus and hard palate as we go down.
 The advantage of this classification is its simplicity while the
disadvantages include difficulty in writing, typing and
communication.

23. 24
Kernahan’s Stripped ‘Y’ classification:
 This classification uses a stripped ‘Y’ having numbered blocks. Each
block represents a specific area of the oral cavity. Put forward by
kernahan and stark.
 Block 1 and 4 Lip
 Block 2 and 5 Alveolus
 Block 3 and 6 Hard palate anterior to the incisive
foramen
 Block 7 and 8 Hard palate posterior to incisive foramen
 Block 9 Soft palate.

24. 25
Lahshal classification:
 Presented by Okriens in 1987
 LAHSHAL is a paraphrase of the anatomic affected by the
cleft.
L lip
A alveolus
H hard palate
S soft palate
H hard palate
A alveolus

25. 26
Iowa system classification:
 Group –I These are defined as clefts of the lip only.
 Group-II These are defined as clefts of the palate only i.e.
secondary
palatal clefts.
 Group-III These are defined as clefts of the lip , alveolus and
palate i.e. complete cleft lip and palate.
 Group-IV These are defined as clefts of the lip and alveolus i.e.
primary cleft palate and lip
 Group –V This classification is defined as miscellaneous and
includes clefts which do not fit into any of the above categories.

26. 27
INDIAN CLASSIFICATION
 Proposed by Dr. C. Balakrishnan in1975
 Cleft lip only (GP.I)
 Cleft lip and alveolus (gp. 1-a)
 Cleft palate only (gp.2)
 Cleft lip and palate (gp.3)

27. 28
ETIOLOGY.
 Hereditary: - Acc. To fogh and Anderson less than 40%, cases are
genetic in origin. Acc. To Drilien 1 in 3 children with clefts had some
relatives with similar congenital defects.
 20% of isolated cleft are genetic in origin.
Acc. to Bhatia main modes of transmission is either by single mutant
gene producing a large effect or by no. of genes [polygenic
inheritance] each producing a small effect together?
 Two types of cleft [recent research]
1] Hereditary-probably polygenic
Acc.to this each and every individual caries some genetic liability for
clefting but since that is less than threshold level it doesn’t not occur
when the liability reaches the threshold level cleft occurs
2] Monogenic or syndromic- associated with various congenital
anomalies-they are high-risk type.

28. 29
 Multifactorial threshold hypothesis: - It suggests that many
contributory risk genes interact with one another and the
environment and they collectively determine that threshold of
abnormality is breached resulting in defect. It clearly explains the
etiology of isolated cleft lip or palate.
 Congenital: - Congenital anomaly is which is already present at
birth. It can be hereditary or genetically determined or induced by
environment or teratogens.
 Hereditary anomalies might or may not present at birth and may
appear in due course of time.
 Infections: - Like rubella, influenza, toxoplasmosis etc.to the
mother during pregnancy may cause the defect.

29. 30
 Drugs: -
 Aminoptrein [an antifolic drug] is an abortifacient. A
foetus survived of such abortion drugs can become
malformed.
 All cytotoxic anticancer drugs such as alkylating
agents can cause the defect.
 Cortisone is suspect teratogens.
 Alcoholic mother may give birth to a child with foetal
alcoholic syndrome, which may be associated with cleft
palate.
 Thalidomide also has a similar effect.

30. 31
 Radiation: -
Such as x rays, gamma rays etc. these are ionizing
radiations and are capable of producing either
somatic or genetic effects.
Somatic effects are seen in the exposed
individual and the genetic effects are expressed in
the individual descedents like cleft lip, palate,
microcephaly and neonatal death. These are due
to irradiation of the fetus during the pregnancy
 Diets:
Deficiency of riboflavin folic acid and
hypervitaminosis an act as environmental
teratogens.

31. 32
GENETIC INFLUENCE
 Monogenic or single gene disorder:
Autosomal dominant inheritance:-
 Clefting-ankyloblepharon filiform
 Adentum syndrome
 Ectrodactyly
 Clefting syndrome
 Vander woude syndrome(asociation of lower lip pits or clp)

32. 33
Autosomal recessive syndrome:-
Appert ayndrome
Bixer syndrome
Bowen-armstrong syndrome
Juberg-harward syndrome
Robert syndrome

33. 34
Environmental:-
Fetal hydantoin syndrome
Fetal trimethadione syndrome
Clefting ectropion syndrome
Unknown genesis:-
Pilloto syndrome
Yong syndrome
II. Polygeneic or Multifactorial syndrome:-
Here many genes with relatively small effect act in concert
withpoorly defined environmental triggering
mechanisms leading to expression of the abnormalitiy

34. 35
CHROMOSOMAL ABBERATIONS
 Cleft lip and palate occurs as a feature of
several syndromes resulting from
chromosomal aberrations. Notable among
them being trisomy D and E syndrome.

35. 36
PREDISPOSING FACTORS
 Increased maternal age:
Women who conceive late have an increased risk of having an off
spring with some form of clefting. The cause remains unknown.
 Racial
Some races are more susceptible to clefts than the, Mongoloids
show the greatest percentage of incidence.
 Blood supply:-
Any factor that reduces the blodd supply to the nasomaxillary complex
during the embryological dev. predisposes to cleft.

36. 37
Problems associated with clp
 They can be broadly classification as: -
Dental
Esthetic
Speech and hearing
Psychologic

37. 38
Dental problems
 The presence of the cleft is associated with division, displacement
and deficiency of oral tissue.
Congenitally mussing teeth (most commonly the upper laterals )
Presence of natal or neonatal teeth
Presence of supernumerary teeth
Ectopically erupting teeth
Anomalies of tooth morphology
Enamel hyperplasia
Microdontia

38. 39
 Fused teeth
 Aberrations in crown shape
 Macrodontia
 Mobile and early shedding teeth due to poor
periodontal support.
 Posterior and anterior crossbite
 Protruding premaxilla
 Deep bite
 Spacing /crowding.
 Difficulty in mastication and swallowing.

39. 40
Esthetic problems
 The clefts involving the lip can result in facial
disfigurement varying from mild to severe. The oro-
facial structures may be malformed and
congenitally missing.
 Deformities of nose can also occur. Thus esthetics
is greatly affected.

40. 41
Hearing and speech: -
 The first two years of the child are very crucial from the point
of speech development and it is the same time when the 1ry
surgeries are done. Physiological integrity of the structure
involved in speech and adequate neuro – sensory – motor
functions are essential for development of the normal speech.
 Receptive language problem may arise in children with cleft
plate because of the fluid in the middle ear.
 Hearing loss may also occur is these patients due to ossicular
malformations and /or improper aeration of the Eustachian
tube.

41. 42
 Clinically an operated cleft palate child usually presents with short
palate or decreased mobility of soft palate due to Scarring and oro-
nasal fistula,
 Thus causing velo- pharyngeal insufficiency, hypernasality, nasal
escape of air, mis-articulations and poor intelligibility of speech.
High nasality could be due to oronasal fistula or inadequate velo-
pharyngeal seal.
 Acrylic or chrome cobalt obturators, which are still very
popular in India, were given to prevent nasal escape of
air. The modified obturator called speech bulb appliance
is useful in cases where palatal lift or soft palate closure
is needed to improve velo-pharyngeal seal.

42. 43
PSYHCOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
 They are under lot of psychological stress due to their
abnormal facial appearance they have to put up with staring,
curiosity, pity etc.
 They also face problems in obtaining jobs and making friends.
 Studies have shown that these patients are badly in
academics.
 This is usually as a result of hearing impairment, speech
problems and frequent absence from school.

43. 44
MANAGEMENT
 The cleft child has a lot of dentoalveolar and maxillo
mandibular problems, which are quite different from the
routine orthodontic patient
 The maxilla is more often seen to be retruded, and this effect
is primarily seen as a post surgical problem. Further more,
there is a progressive decline of the maxillary prominence in
both UCLP and BCLP patients as the child grows through
adolescence
 There are postural adaptations to the dentoalveolar and
basilar discrepencies and a lower jaw position in over closure
is a common feature.

44. 45
In addition to the sagittal discrepancies getting accumulated
by the surgery, transverse relations are also severely
compromised.
Two common types of maxillary transverse collapse
patterns mostly related to the palatal repair surgery are seen.
1)The unilateral collapse frequently seen in UCLP presents
with the lesser segment caught behind under the greater
segment.
2)The bilateral collapse, typically seen in BCLP has equal
transverse constriction of the maxillae.
The arch deficiency and dentoalveolar mutilation is further
complicated by congenitally missing lateral incisors,
supernumerary and fissural teeth adjoining the cleft site,
ectopically erupting maxillary canines and a general
hypoplasia of the maxillary incisors.
Anchorage planning and management of tooth movement is
thus complicated.

45. 46
NEONATAL( Birth to 18 months)
 Early contact and counseling of the
parents should be done to reassure them
and prevent inaccurate information being
provided by other professionals who are
not involved in cleft treatment.
 The optimum time for the first contact by
the professionals with the family and
evaluation of the child soon after the birth .

46. 47
 Feeding a child with cleft palate is a very
challenging job. Making the parents
understand about the normal physiology
and altered anatomy can guide towards a
successful feeding.
 The normal process of feeding involves
two basic tasks, suckling and swallowing.
In patients with cleft lip and alveolus ,
breast feeding is not a problem and can
be achieved with slight adjustments

47. 48
NEONATAL
 Placing the finger over the cleft assist in creating negative
pressure inside the oral cavity and thus making swallowing
effective.
 However , in cleft palate patients breast feeding is usually not
successful. The patient cannot build up pressure inside the
oral cavity because the air is drawn through the nose.
 For this variety of nipples and feeding devices are available.
Two of them are inexpensive and readily available.
 Enlarged (1/4 inch) cross cut regular nipple and the Mead
Johnson cleft palate nursing bottle.

48. 49
 During feeding following guide lines should be
followed:
1. The infant is held upright in the lap at about 45o to 60o
angle to decrease nasal regurgitation.
2. Direct the nipple to intact part of the palate.
3. Burping the infant after ½ of feed is necessary because
excessive air is swallowed.
4. Adjust the flow of the milk dropping in the mouth to the
ability of the child to swallow and limit the feeding to
maximum ½ an hr.
5. Observe the child for choking , cyanosis or abdominal
distention. During feeding , widened eyes or choking
indicate too rapid flow of liquid and needs to be adjusted

49. 50
FEEDING APPLIANCE
 The feeding appliance assists in feeding by sealing the
oro-nasal fistula and thus enables the child to suck by
negative intra- oral pressure.
 Feeding appliance should be considered to assist with
feeding only if other methods of feeding are not
successful in the first one or two weeks.
 Infants up - to 6 months of age are require 115 to 120
cal /kg. of body weight and they are fed every 2-4 hrs.
 If oral feeding is not useful, naso–gastric feeding many
be used temporarily.

50. 51
 The orthodontist has been involved in some centers in
providing feeding plates and the use of plates to remove the
influence of tongue on cleft width.
 The speech and language pathologist recommends such
plates during the 1st year of development until the palate
closure is done. The appliance provides the cleft child with an
intra-oral environment as normal as possible during the early
critical and active phase of articulation development.
 Burstone pioneered and introduced neonatal maxillary
orthopedics in the 1950 s

51. 52
RATIONALE FOR TREATMENT
 Reposition the severely displaced maxillary
segments.
 Reduction in width of wide clefts.
 Improved symmetry of nose and cleft
maxilla.

52. 53
Passive maxillary obturator
 It is an intra oral prosthetic device that fills the palatal cleft.
 Provides a false roofing against which chid can suckle.
 Reduces feeding difficulties viz; insufficient sucking,excessive air
intake,choking.
 Provides maxillary cross arch stability preventing the arch from collapse.

53. 54
DECIDUOUS DENTITION(18months to 5
years)
 No orthodontic intervention is done in the early deciduous
dentition.
 Treatment at this stage can produce only ephemeral results and
such results would be poor temporary compensations for deeper
skeletal abnormalities which become increasingly manifest later.
 Patient are seen regularly at six month intervals for review,
keeping the motivation of the family, generating early rapport with
the child, constant monitoring of the caries and oral hygiene status,
and diet consulting.
 In certain cases, equilibration of deciduous canine is done to avoid
encouraging lateral shifts of the mandible.
 Towards the end of the deciduous dentition, the 5 year old child
becomes a candidate for early dentofacial orthopedic intervention
by face mask therapy if indicated.

54. 55
MIXED DENTITION(sixth year to
11nth year.)
 The aim of the treatment :-
1. Symmetry within the upper dentition and related to the facial
midline.
2. Normally functioning occlusion with.
3. Correct position of upper incisor teeth and
4. Favorable transverse and sagittal posterior occlusion

55. 56
Orthodontic evaluation at 6 yrs of age:
-
1 Soft tissue facial appearance: full face and profile
2 Types of the face: Prognathic, orthognathic or
retrognathic.
3 Basal jaw configuration: sagittal vertical or transverse
4 Dental occlusion: Frontal (overjet, overbite) or lateral
(Angle classification)
5 Dental space conditions.
6 Disturbances of dental development and occlusion.
7 Orofacial dysfunction
8 Vestibular, periodontal and mucosal abnormalities.

56. 57
 Retroclination or cross bite is corrected. The correction of lateral
incisor cross bite, which is usually present in cleft, is postponed
until the permanent dentition.
 Before correcting the rotation and cross bite of teeth one should
confirm the adequate bone support of the tooth on a radiograph.
(IOPA OR OCCLUSAL)
 If insufficient bone support is available, de rotation may
result in root exposure in the cleft and devitalization.
 If adequate bone support ,de rotation and cross bite
correction are usually performed before the patient is
considered for alveolar bone grating.
 But if the adequate bone support is not there then
these procedures are performed after the alveolar bonr
grafting.
Pre surgical orthodontics

57. 58
 If the cross bite or edge to edge bite causes functional shift of
the mandible, then attempts should be done to relieve it by
selective grinding or orthodontic treatment .
 Maxillary arch expansion is needed and this procedure if
required should be performed before secondary alveolar
bone grafting. The correction of maxillary arch collapse helps
to prevent
1. Lateral shifts of the mandible
2. Improve sagittal mandibular position by cricumventing the
adaptive mandibular prognathism
3. Provide area for the tongue
4. Promote normal maxillo mandibular developement and
prepare the arch for secondary bone grafting as a part of

58. 59
 The Quad Helix appliance in .036 Blue Elgiloy provides controlled force
application to correct severe segmental dislocation. The typical
expansion period lasts for 3 months with 2 activations at 6weeks
intervals. The rate of the transverse expansion is 3mm/month. The
optimal force is 200gm. on each side.
 Advantages are: -
1.Easy to construct at the chair- side using ordinary laboratory
pliers and minimal inventory
2.It offers the unique advantages of providing four sites of activation.
3 It exerts 3-diamensional control on the molars
4 It provides controlled force
5 Relatively less patient co-operation
6 Provides powerful anchorage preservation mechanism

59. 60
PROTRACTION FACE MASK
 Used between 5 and 8 years
 AIMS OF THE TREATMENT
1. Correct midface skeletal deficiency
2. Eliminate anterior and / or posterior crossbite
3. Provide optimal space for spontaneous incisor eruption
4. Improve the soft tissue profile.
 The introduction of the facial mask for early protraction by
heavy forces to the maxillary complex in CLP patients was
reported by Delaire and Colleagues.

60. 61
 The Quad –Helix appliance is used as anchorage for the facial
mask.
 No other fixation of the mask is needed than the two intra oral
elastic bands from the hooks in the canine regoins to a bar on the
mask.
 The force used for facial protraction is about 350gm. on each side
(Total 700gm.) .The facemask is used mainly at night for 10- 12 hrs.
for 6 to 12months.
 RAPID SAGGITAL CORRECTION IS ACHIEVED:-
1.Maxillary base protraction
2.Canting of the maxillary plane upward
3.Remodelling changes in the anterior maxilla
4.Backward rotation of the mandible

61. 62
RETENTION
 Fixed palatal arch
 A Function corrector III (FR-3 )- active
retainer only when unfavourable
growth pattern is seen.

62. 63
PERMANENT DENTITION
 Aims of the Treatment in the Permanent
Dentition: -
1. Improving the dentofacial relationship.
2. Balancing the relationship between dental and skeletal components
3. Establishing favourable maxillo mandibular balance and proportion
4. Establishing normal incisal and buccal occlusion.
5. Establishing harmonious dental arches in both jaws.
6. Correcting axial inclination of teeth.
7. Correcting midlines.
8. Avoiding prosthetic replacement of teeth when possible.
9. Establishing functional occlusion in centric relation.
10. Establishing optimal lip contour and contact

63. 64
Special precautions during orthodontic
tooth movement.
 Avoid overzealous tooth movement into the
cleft sites
 Mechanics should be gently placed.
 Orthodontic treatment is a prolonged
procedure in CLP patients than the routine
patients.
 The orthodontist should abstain from
proclining the upper anteriors into the tight
scarred upper lip.

64. 65
 The decision of orthodontics versus orthognathic
surgery should be judiciously made.
 Long term retention after treatment should be
advocated.
 Follow up should be advised on a 6 month basis till
at least 21 years of age and the original and post
treatment records should be reviewed at every such
visit.
 Strict monitoring excellent performance of the child
on personal oral hygiene and caries control efforts.

65. 67
Arndt Nickel Titanium Expander
 In mixed dentition. put forward by
Micheal O. Abdoney in 1995.
 It is temperature activated xpander
which creates tranverse xpansion,
uprights and roataes the maxillay
molars and allows a smooth transition
to fixed retention with no patient
compliance required.

66. 68
CONCLUSION
 The course of the individual CLP patients rehabilitation
depends not only on the quality of the individual
components of the treatment, but also on organization
and co-ordination to ensure the right timing, sequence
and balance during the often protracted course of
treatment. For this reason, a well adapted CLP protocol,
with a collectively operating interdisciplinary approach
to provide integrated cleft care seems to be absolutely
imperative .

67. 69
 Our responsibilities go beyond
orthodontics.
 We can always go further, we can
always work harder, we can always
find newer possibilities; but for that, we
must keep going and doing.

68. 70
Pierre Robin Syndrome
 Has a very high recurrence risk.
 The anomalad includes cleft palate,
micrognathia, glossoptosis.
 Primary defect lies in arrested dev. &
ensuing hypoplasia of the mandible”
