HISTORY

First obturation of a cleft palate was performed by Demosthenes
(384–323 BC).
Bien suggested that the great Greek orator visited the seashore to
search for appropriately sized pebbles adequate to fill his palatal
defect and thereby improve his speech.
More current medical literature credits Hollerius, Petronius and
Pare with descriptions of prosthesis for obturation of palatal
defects in the 16th century.
Works by Snell, Stearn, Kingsley and Suerson in the 19th century
describes current prosthetic designs (Aramany, 1971).

GENERAL TREATMENT FOR CLEFT
PALATE
• Protruding premaxilla is shifted to a more distal
position and aids in sucking.
2 to 3 months
• cleft palate is repaired to reduce the joint
abnormalities associated with speech, eating
and drinking.
1 or 2 years
• There will be an increased discrepancy in the
size of the maxilla and the mandible, a crossed
bite, a retruded premaxilla and a shallow palate.
Early mixed
dentition stage
• no adjustments in the tooth position required
hence fixed partial denture can be provided.

FEEDING OBTURATOR

Neonates born with a cleft palate have difficulty in feeding, which leads to failure
to thrive
 Oro-nasal communication diminishes negative pressure, makes suckling
difficult & causes nasal regurgitation.
 Orogastric and nasogastric tubes can be effective but should be used only for a
limited length of time.

Advantages
1. It helps in feeding
2. Reduces nasal regurgitation
3. Prevents tongue from entering the defect
4. Allows spontaneous growth of palatal shelves
5. Contribute to speech development
6. Reduces incidence of otitis media and other

CLEFT LIP AND PALATE IN A NEONATE: A
CLINICAL REPORT
By using PNAM, which acts as an adjunctive therapy, the deficient
tissues could be expanded and malpositioned structures could be
repositioned before surgical correction.
ARTICULATION DEVELOPMENT PROSTHESIS
• Repair of a cleft palate is performed by 1 year of age in
order to minimize speech articulation abnormalities
(Dorf and Curtin,1982).
• An articulation development prosthesis (Dorf et al.,
1985) is used to prosthetically create a normal palate for
speech development until the surgical repair can be
performed.
48
• This resin plate covers the gum pads and palate area but does not
extend into the cleft.
• This design permits appositional growth at the cleft margins.
• The prosthesis has a small extension into the pharyngeal area
• The prosthesis will not impede the eruption of teeth, and if any teeth
are already present, it can be designed to circumvent them.

PALATAL OBTURATOR
• A palatal obturator is a prosthetic device that can
be used to cover an open palatal defect .
• The use of a palatal obturator is appropriate if
the palatal opening is symptomatic of speech or
causes nasal regurgitation during feeding, and
surgical correction is not planned in the near
future.
• This prosthetic appliance functions by closing off
the nasal cavity from the oral cavity.
• For speech, this can normalize resonance and
improve the ability to impound intraoral
pressure for the production of speech.

• The objective is to displace the soft palate to the level of
normal palatal elevation, enabling closure by pharyngeal
wall action.

A 9-year-old female patient reported with the complaint of
hypernasality and disarticulation. Palatal lift appliance was chosen
as the treatment for correcting her speech problem.
CLINICAL APPLICATION OF PALATAL LIFT
APPLIANCE IN VELOPHARYNGEAL
INCOMPETENCE
CONCLUSION:
Palatal lift appliances are simple and efficient in reducing the
nasal air leak. Ongoing speech therapy is necessary and advised
for patients receiving palatal lift.
ADVANTAGES
• The gag response is minimized
due to the superior position and
the sustained pressure of the lift
portion of the prosthesis against
the soft palate.
• The physiology of the tongue is
not compromised due to the
superior position of the palatal
extension.
• The access to the nasopharynx for
the obturator (if necessary) is
facilitated.
• The lift portion may be developed
sequentially to aid patient
adaptation to the prosthesis.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• If adequate retention is not
available for basic
prosthesis
• The palate is not
displaceable
• The patient is
uncooperative.

A review and case report. Journal of international oral health: JIOH. 2015;7(Suppl 2):106.
SPEECH BULB PROSTHESIS
• A speech bulb obturator, also known as a speech
aid appliance, is also a removable device that is
used for the treatment of VP insufficiency .
• When the velum is short relative to the depth of
the posterior pharyngeal wall, resulting in a VP
opening during the speech, the bulb serves to fill
in the pharyngeal space.
• The bulb sits in the nasopharynx to occlude the
VP port during the speech. This improves the
speech and can also improve swallowing because
it eliminates nasal regurgitation.
• It can also be combined with partial or complete
dentures.

and case report. Journal of international oral health: JIOH. 2015;7(Suppl 2):106.
REPLACEMENT OF MISSING TEETH
• Most cleft lip and palate patients will require more specialized and
continuing prosthodontic services than will noncleft patients.
• One study found that 24% of patients with cleft lip and palate were
congenitally missing premolars, compared with 6.6% in the general
population.
• Mackey et al reported that 49.6% of cleft patients had one or more
congenitally missing teeth. Also found that 21 % of patients with
cleft lip and palate had one or more supernumerary teeth.
62
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
Definitive prosthodontic treatment
• Definitive prosthodontic care for cleft patients is usually indicated
sometime after early adolescence, when the gamut of treatment
during the formative years has essentially been completed.
• A diagnostic wax-up and appropriate radiographs will permit both
the orthodontist and the prosthodontist to visualize the potential
esthetic arrangement, and will allow the orthodontist to make final
refinements that will enhance future prosthodontic care.
• Prior to the next consultation appointment, the clinician should
consult with the patient's other health care providers, such as the
plastic surgeon, orthodontist, and the family internist or
pediatrician. regarding their thoughts and suggestions for future
treatment
63
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
• When the edentulous cleft site is not closed orthodontically or
surgically, some type of prosthetic treatment is required.
• The alveolar cleft is bone grafted while the patient is in the mixed
dentition.
• This permits the eruption into the dental arch of an impacted
permanent tooth near the cleft site.
64
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
• Often, the initial prosthodontic care is the fabrication of a well-
fitting interim removable partial denture to replace any missing
teeth.
• This type of partial denture is especially appropriate if a bone
graft is scheduled in the future.

REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES
• A removable partial denture is most often used but it is a temporary
form of tooth replacement.
• Although it provides good esthetics, it rest on soft tissues of the palate
and causes irritation.
• There may be movement of the prosthesis during function.
• Hence, it is used only as a definitive means of tooth replacement in
which there are multiple teeth missing and the edentulous space is too
long to be spanned by a fixed restoration and when patient cannot
afford implants

FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES
• A fixed partial denture provides a more natural tooth
replacement .
• Whenever, possible conservative, i.e. resin-bonded fixed
partial denture should be provided for anterior
replacement only.
• Alternatively, a conventional fixed partial denture can be
used

John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
• If an obturator is to be attached to the maxillary complete or
partial denture, it may be done at 2 different times.
• If the patient has never used an obturator, delay its fabrication
until the patient has accommodated to the denture (about 4 to
6 weeks).
• If the patient has an existing obturator, the new obturator
must be completed prior to delivery of the prosthesis.
78
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
• Wire loop for retention of the obturator segment is
attached with wax and checked for position at the second
try-in appointment.
• After the completed dentures are adjusted and the
occlusion is refined, the obturator is developed with
modeling plastic and fluid wax. The dentures are then
delivered at a subsequent appointment.
79
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
IMPLANTS
• Osseointegrated implants are of immense value for those with cleft
lip and palate, particularly edentulous or partially edentulous
patients.
• In edentulous patients they enhance stability, retention, and
support of the prosthesis to enable significant improvement of
masticatory performance.
• Recently several researches reported the efficacy of dental implant
treatment after the repair of alveolar cleft with secondary bone
grafting.
• Dental implant insertion into the reconstructed alveolus gives
functional stimulation to the grafted bone and can prevent
resorption of grafted bone
John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
COMMON ERRORS IN THE CLINICAL
MANAGEMENT OF CONGENITAL DEFECTS
MOUTH PREPARATION:
• Teeth are to be used as abutments.
• Malposed or supernumerary teeth that may unduly
complicate prosthesis design and compromise the
maintenance of good oral hygiene should be considered,
for removal.
81
VERTICAL DIMENSION OF OCCLUSION:
• The patient with a congenital intraoral defect, especially a
complete cleft lip and palate, will seldom have an acceptable
vertical dimension of occlusion when all permanent teeth
have erupted.
• Use of simply constructed and easily adjustable temporary
restorations can assist in making this determination before
definitive procedures are undertaken.
82
PROSTHESIS CONTOURS:
• Contours of the parent prosthesis must be designed to
augment retention, stability and an esthetic appearance of
the total restoration.
83
VELAR EXTENSION DESIGN:
• The velar portion of an obturator or lift is the portion that
connects the palatal with the pharyngeal section.
• The most common form is wire or cast metal retentive loop.
• It must be of sufficient width and thickness for strength, be
passive and not create pressure on resting tissue unless
designed to do so.
84
OBTURATOR PLACEMENT:
• The most common error in obturator placement
superioinferiorly is locating it too low in the oropharynx
which interferes with tongue function.
85
 Prosthodontist is one of the member of the multidisciplinary cleft team.
 In the management of cleft lip and palate, prosthetic treatment retains an
important place.
 A Prosthodontist must be able to diagnose the defect and provide a preventive,
interventional and rehabilitative treatment to reduce the impact of the defect in
the patient quality of life.

  • 4. HISTORY 4 First obturation of a cleft palate was performed by Demosthenes (384–323 BC). Bien suggested that the great Greek orator visited the seashore to search for appropriately sized pebbles adequate to fill his palatal defect and thereby improve his speech. More current medical literature credits Hollerius, Petronius and Pare with descriptions of prosthesis for obturation of palatal defects in the 16th century. Works by Snell, Stearn, Kingsley and Suerson in the 19th century describes current prosthetic designs (Aramany, 1971).
  • 5. DEFINITIONS . • A congenital split in the upper lip on one or both sides of the centre, often associated with a cleft palate CLEFT LIP • An opening in the hard and/or soft palate as a result of improper union of the maxillary process and the median nasal process during the second month of intrauterine development.

  • 62. REPLACEMENT OF MISSING TEETH • Most cleft lip and palate patients will require more specialized and continuing prosthodontic services than will noncleft patients. • One study found that 24% of patients with cleft lip and palate were congenitally missing premolars, compared with 6.6% in the general population. • Mackey et al reported that 49.6% of cleft patients had one or more congenitally missing teeth. Also found that 21 % of patients with cleft lip and palate had one or more supernumerary teeth. 62 John Beumer. Maxillofacial rehabilitation
  • 63. Definitive prosthodontic treatment • Definitive prosthodontic care for cleft patients is usually indicated sometime after early adolescence, when the gamut of treatment during the formative years has essentially been completed. • A diagnostic wax-up and appropriate radiographs will permit both the orthodontist and the prosthodontist to visualize the potential esthetic arrangement, and will allow the orthodontist to make final refinements that will enhance future prosthodontic care. • Prior to the next consultation appointment, the clinician should consult with the patient's other health care providers, such as the plastic surgeon, orthodontist, and the family internist or pediatrician. regarding their thoughts and suggestions for future treatment 63 John Beumer.

Editor's Notes

  1. Prosthodontic treatment has a long and rich history in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. Because of increased knowledge of craniofacial growth & development and improved surgical & orthodontic treatment, today's cleft patients receive better care and in less time. The oral rehabilitation of individuals with cleft lip and palate is directly related to severity of anatomical and functional alterations determined by malformation and the age at treatment. The ideal treatment of cleft area is closure by bone graft and orthodontics, when this is not feasible, many cases are solved with prosthetic rehabilitations.

The incisive foramen can be represented symbolically by a small circle with the dividing pointing between the primary and secondary palates. Each right and left limb is divided into three portions representing respectively the lip, alveolus and area between alveolus and incisive foramen. The stem of the Y is similarly divided into three portions representing hard palate (7, 8) and soft palate (9). Each individual can be diagrammatically represented by stippling appropriate areas of clefting. In submucous cleft of palate the appropriate section is cross hatched,

  18. Obliterates the communication between oral and nasal cavities The most immediate problem caused by orofacial clefting is likely to be difficulty with feeding. The anatomical characteristics of cleft lip and palate greatly hinder infants’ ability to feed. Poor intraoral suction may produce choking, emission of milk through the nose, and 106 Insights into Various Aspects of Oral Health excessive air intake. The feeding process can also be extremely stressful for the parents of such infants who often struggle to find effective feeding method [25]. Early referral to the infant-feeding specialist or nurses associated with cleft teams can facilitate to solve this problem. Those children need special teat and bottles that allow milk to be delivered to the back of throat where it can be swallowed (Figure 6). In addition, we may use special dental plates (palatal prosthesis) to seal the cleft side. Such prosthesis could be effective in increasing the volume of fluid intake, decreasing time of feeding, and promoting adequate growth and gain in infants with cleft lip and palate [26]. Some babies may not have the energy to suck from a teat, and here a cup and spoon method may be helpful
  19. Nasoalveolar molding is a nonsurgical method of reshaping the gums, lip and nostrils before cleft lip and palate surgery, which decreases the severity of the cleft.
  20. The PNAM appliance consists of a removable alveolar molding plate made of orthodontic acrylic from a dental cast of the infant's maxilla. The nasal stent is bent at the end of a 0.032 inch stainless steel wire that is embedded into the anterior portion of the alveolar molding plate. The nasal stent and the intraoral molding plate are adjusted weekly or biweekly to gradually correct the nasal and alveolar deformities, giving rise to the name nasoalveolar molding. PNAM can be applied to the entire range of cleft deformities including complete clefts without an intact nasal floor.
  21. Greater segment inward- soft liner added to the inner labial aspect & acrylic removed from the palatal aspect…lesser segment outward- acrylicresin removed frominner labial aspect & equal amount added to palatal aspect To direct the greater segment inward, a 1- to 1.5-mm thickness of soft liner (GC Corp) was added to the inner labial aspect of the greater segment of the alveolus portion of the appliance and acrylic resin was removed from the palatal aspect. To direct the lesser segment outward from the cleft, acrylic resin was selectively removed from the inner labial aspect of the lesser segment of the alveolus (approximately 1-1.5 mm), and an equal amount of soft liner was added on the palatal aspect.

  25. may be used in cases of a deficiency in tissue, when a remaining opening in the palate occurs Even after cleft palate surgery, there may be a residual oronasal communication. This may occur on the palate or in the alveolar ridge or labial vestibule. A palatal obturator covers the opening and contributes to normal speech production. It eliminates hypernasality and assists in speech therapy
  26. to clean a palatal obturator at least twice a day in order to avoid tissue irritation This prosthesis is often used as an interim measure until the residual communication can be surgically closed. If the oronasal opening cannot be surgically repaired, the palatal obturator may serve as a definitive treatment.
  27. Acts by lifting the soft palate upward and backward. Velo pharyngeal closure problems are the main cause of speech defect in cleft patients.
  28. soft palate has little muscle tone and offers little resistance to elevation PARTS: Anterior part Palatal part Pharyngeal part – placed at the level of max pharyngeal muscle contraction Velar part – covers the unoperated/oroantral fistula If the length of the wall is insufficient to effect closure after maximal displacement, the addition of an obturator behind the displaced soft palate may be necessary.

  30. …Primary cast….. Acrylic framework with wire extension.. Posterior teeth act as the best abutment because they are closer to the cantilever extension.. southend clasp for the maxillary central incisors. retentive loop for the lift should extend 2 cm posterior to the fovea palatine Subsequent to clinical examination, recording of preliminary impression with irreversible hydrocolloid is done and a primary cast is prepared from it [Figure2]. A custom tray is processed after adapting wax spacer [Figure 3] to the primary model. With the help of the custom tray [Figure 4], a precise impression withadequate extension to the soft palate is recorded.
  31. The second step in the fabrication is the processing of acrylic framework with posterior wire extension [Figure 5]. A primary requirement for successful palatallift is retention. Abutment teeth should be strategically located to give maximum advantage to the lift. Posterior teeth act as the best abutment because they arecloser to the cantilever extension. Additional retention is obtained by giving a southend clasp for the maxillary central incisors. The wire framework orretentive loop for the lift should extend 2 cm posterior to the fovea palatine. This length will provide adequate support for lift molding. The loop should be onthe same plane as the hard palate. It should be in contact with and slightly displacing the soft palate Modeling compound is applied to the loop, shaped, flamed to create a smooth surface and then chilled before placing it into the mouth. If softened compoundis placed in the mouth, the soft palate will displace it downward and the lift action will not occur. Small additions are made to the compound posteriorly until the soft palate is brought into light contact with posterior pharyngeal walls..asked to breath thru nose.. mucosa of the palate to recover from the coverage and pressure caused by the lift.. Following each addition, the patient is asked to breathethrough nose. Speech drills that require the creation of intra-oral air pressure are very effective in determining the reduction in hypernasality. B and p areplosive sounds requiring intra-oral pressure. A simple clinical test to find out the reduction of nasal air leak is done. The patient is asked to blow air out withthe mouth closed. Operator has to keep his finger below the nostrils of the patient to check for nasal air leak. A satisfactory lift generation will completelyeliminate nasal air leak
  32. A definite lift generation was evident from the radiograph. nasal emission test…displacing the soft palate to the level of normal palate closure at the level of palatal plane.. speech therapy required
  33.  speech bulb obturator usually has an oral denture base section with clasps to the teeth and a posterior palatal strap with the bulb on the end. The bulb courses upward to fit behind the velum in the nasopharynx. When it is in place, the speech bulb is not visible from intraoral perspective.

The cuspid may need to undergo enameloplasty to flatten the facial surface and tooth-colored composite resin. PM “cuspidize” its appearance,, peg lateral incisor Most commonly, the cuspid is moved to the position at which the lateral incisor would be and the premolar is moved to the cuspid position
  36. Options for tooth replacement include a fixed or removable partial denture or a dental implant.
  37. RPDs are especially indicated in patients with tissue deficiency, several fistulae, soft palate dysfunction, or uncoordinated nasopharyngeal sphincter action, which can lead to hypernasal speech.
