The document indicates that orofacial clefts are among the most common birth defects and discusses some of the functional and esthetic issues associated with clefts.
The document discusses the management of cleft lip and/or cleft palate patients. It begins with an overview of neonatal maxillary orthopaedics, which aims to align the alveolar processes before lip repair surgery. It then covers presurgical nasoalveolar moulding, which uses appliances to slowly reshape the nose and alveolus over time to improve aesthetic outcomes of primary lip and palate repair surgery. Finally, it provides details on the components and use of nasoalveolar moulding appliances in the presurgical treatment of cleft patients.
The most common congenital craniofacial anomaly is cleft lip and palate. It is a separation that occurs in the lip or palate or both. Cleft occurs when the lip and/or the palate do not completely fuse during fetal development between the 6th and 9th week of pregnancy. While many factors have been associated with clefts, the cause of this condition seems complex and most cases of cleft lip and palate are thought to occur by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors or as a part of a genetic syndrome. Children with cleft lip and palate often have problems with feeding, speech, dentition, hearing, and aesthetics.

The document discusses congenital cleft lip and palate (CCLP) which occurs due to impaired facial development in utero. CCLP can cause abnormalities in craniofacial growth and development including asymmetry of the nasal cartilage and maxillary sinuses, smaller nasopharynx size, and abnormalities of muscles that control the auditory tube. Effective treatment of CCLP requires periodic study of jaw growth dynamics. Surgery to repair clefts can also impact craniofacial growth through iatrogenic factors like scarring, and both internal defects and surgical factors may contribute to abnormal facial morphology. Assessing individual variability in treatment outcomes is important.

Veau (1931), Victor Veau. The Veau System simply
classified orofacial clefting into four morphological
forms [Figure 3] by whether the secondary and/
or primary palates are affected, Veau Class

Hard and soft palate (secondary palate only) up
to the incisive foramen (no unilateral/bilateral
designation), Veau Class II Incomplete cleft, soft
palate only (no unilateral/bilateral designation),

hard palate extending bilaterally through alveolus
and lip on both side.[12-14]

bones. Which is covered by oral and nasal mucosa.
The chief blood supply is from the greater palatine
artery, which is the branch of internal maxillary
artery (internal carotid system) and passes through
the greater palatine foramen. Sensory supply is by
the anterior palatine and nasopalatine nerves.[24]
The soft palate (velum) is a fibromuscular shelf
made up of five muscles attached as a sling to the
posterior portion of the hard palate. It functions
to elevate the nasopharynx, effectively closing
the communication from the nasopharynx to the
oropharynx. It also serves as the anterior wall of
the velopharyngeal port, a sphincter mechanism
of which the posterior and lateral walls consist of
the superior pharyngeal constrictor. This muscular
valve aids in breathing, blowing, swallowing,
and phonation. The velum consists of the tensor
veli palatini muscle innervated by the mandibular
nerve, which is the third branch of the trigeminal
cranial nerve.[25,26]
The levator veli palatini muscle
is innervated by the pharyngeal plexus. However,
some other authors state that this plexus receives
contributions from the glossopharyngeal and vagus
nerves which elevates the palate.[27,28]
The uvulus
muscle (CN IX, X), which pulls the uvula cranially
and anteriorly and the palatoglossus innervated by
the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve (CN X)
and elevate the posterior portion of the tongue.[29,30]
It also draws the soft palate inferiorly with the
palatopharyngeus muscles, The muscle receives
motor innervation from the cranial portion of
the accessory nerve (CN XI). This occurs via the
pharyngeal plexus with branches from the vagus
nerve (CN X) and glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)
which draw the palate inferiorly and constrict the
pharynx.[31]
A CP spans many degrees of severity
and can include the soft palate, hard palate,
and alveolus. Clefting disrupts the palatal sling
secondary to abnormal insertions of the soft palate
muscles into the posterior margin of the remaining
bony palate rather than the midline raphe. As a
result, the affected individual loses velopharyngeal
competence, which may lead to potential
speech distortion, such as nasal air emission and
hypernasality.[31]
Eustachian tube control is often
lost as well, manifesting such as recurrent otitis
media.[32]
EMBRYOLOGY
Palatogenesis begins at the end of the 5th
week and
the development of the palate is not completed until
the 12th
week.[33]
The palate develops from two
primordial, the primary and the secondary palate.
The most important cell types in palate development
are the neural crest derived palatal mesenchyme,
ectoderm-derived epithelial lining and the most
apical layer composed of periderm cells.[34]
The soft
palate also includes the cranial paraxial mesoderm
derived myogenic cells. The palate begins to form
during the 5th
week and is not completed until the
12th
week of gestation. The most critical stage
is between weeks 6 and 9. During 6th
week, the
maxillary prominences merge with the medial nasal
prominences beneath the nasal pits [Figure 5],
forming a wedge-shaped mass of mesenchymal
tissue. As this mass of tissue grows, it separates
the future nostrils from the upper lip and becomes
the median palatine process or primary palate. The
primary palate is located immediately behind the
gum and gives rise to the four central incisors and
extends to the foramen incisivum. Approximately
the same time as the midline epithelial cells die,
the epithelia on the nasal aspect of the palate
differentiate into pseudostratified ciliated columnar
cells, whilst those on the oral aspect of the palate
become stratified squamous, nonkeratinizing cells.
The secondary palate develops from the paired
lateral palatine processes by 12
weeks, fusion
Figure 5: Electron microscopy showing the development
of face of a 37-day-old human embryo. The nasal pit is
surrounded by the medial nasal process and lateral nasal
process and maxillary process

IJPBA/Apr-Jun-2021/Vol 12/Issue 2 51
is complete and extends from the maxillary and
palatine bones to the palatal shelves, forming the
hard palate. Fusion proceeds in a posterior direction
from the incisive foramen with the fusion of the
maxilla and vomer to form the bony hard palate
completed by the 9th
week of gestation. This
process continues into the 12th
week. When the
soft tissues posterior to the hard palate meet to
form the soft palate. Lack of fusion of the palatal
shelves results in clefts of the secondary palate.[35,36]
The posterior parts do not become ossified and
extend posteriorly and fuse to form the soft palate,
including the uvula.[37]
Although CL and CP often
occur together, they have different embryologic
origins. CL results from a failed merging of the
maxillary and medial nasal elevations on one or
both sides due to the inadequate migration of neural
crest cells. CP results from the failure of the lateral
palatine processes to meet and fuse with each other.
This can be the result of (1) defective growth of
the palatal shelves, (2) failure of the shelves to
rise above the tongue, (3) lack of contact between
shelves (excessively wide head), (4) failure to fuse,
or (5) rupture after fusion of the shelves. If the
migration fails to occur, or if there is an absence or
inadequacy of related cells, clefts, and other facial
abnormalities may result.[38]
normally in, children
with clefts have a deficiency of tissue, not merely a
displacement of normal tissue.[39]
A specific variant
of CP, independent of lip formation, results from
the failure of tongue dissent due to obstruction
from an underdeveloped maxilla. This is known
as Pierre Robin sequence, and manifests as a large
U-shaped palatal cleft.[40,41]
The female palate is
known to close 1 week later than the male palate,
an observation that may explain why isolated clefts
are more common in females than males. CL with
CP is the most common presentation of orofacial
clefting. There is considerable sex difference in
the timing of palatal closure. Shelf elevation and
fusion begin a few days earlier in males than in
females.[35]
They have a complex etiology in which
both genetic and environmental factors play a role.
Risk factors such as vitamin deficiency, especially
folic acid deficiency, and maternal smoking, alcohol
consumption, drug use, and chemical exposure have
been associated with CL and palate development.
INCIDENCE
Current knowledge indicates that orofacial clefts
occurinapproximately1in700livebirths,and3200
new cases/year are expected with the population
growth worldwide.[42,43]
The racial prevalence is
highest in Whites, followed by Hispanics, Asians,
and Africans, respectively.[44,45]
The national US
average rate was 7.75% with the highest value in
Maryland (21.46%), and the lowest was found in
West Virginia (2.59%). American Indians had the
highest ratio,[46,47]
and African-Americans had the
lowest ratio from 0.21 to 0.41/1000 live births.[48]
Whites inWestern Europe and the United States had
an incidence rate ranging from 0.77 to 1.40/1000
live births.[49]
Asian countries demonstrate close
ratios. The incidence rates were from 1.14 to
2.13/1000 live births in Japanese and 1.81/1000 or
1 in 554 live births in South Koreans.[50]
Murray and
Martelli-Junior[51,52]
have reported the incidence
rates to be 1.94 and 1.46/1000 live births in the
Philippines and Brazil, respectively. In Caucasians,
the incidence for CL with or without palate was
between 0.6 and 1.7/1000 live births Literature
reviews reported that CLP tends to be unilateral
and occurs more frequently on the left side. The
International Perinatal Database of Typical Oral
Clefts study results showed that 30.2% of the CLP
group had bilateral cleft and 69.8% had unilateral
cleft. The defect ratios were 41.1% on the right side
and 58.9% on the left side[37]
CL with or without
CP was seen more often in males; however, CP
was seen more frequently in females. Van den
Akker and Stoll[53,54]
found that boys appear to be
affected more in bilateral cases. On the other hand,
Meskin and Henriksson[55,56]
reported that girls had
bilateral CL more than boys, gender differences in
the incidence of CP may be related to differences in
the timing of palate development. There is a longer
window of vulnerability in a female fetus because
palatal fusion occurs 1 week later than in males
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND INHERITANCE IN
CL AND CP
Exogenous factors that may increase the risk of
CL/P break down into four broad categories; they
are womb environment, external environment,
6. Ashiq, et al. Orofacial clefting
IJPBA/Apr-Jun-2021/Vol 12/Issue 2 52
nutrition, and drugs. CL increases the likelihood
of CP because the tongue gets trapped, preventing
it from moving down and therefore increasing the
probability of the failure of the shelves to elevate
above the tongue.[57-60]
Fogh-Anderson was the
first to describe genetic factors in clefting.[61]
Several teratogens are known to increase the risk
of CL/P and CP. They include anti-epileptic drugs
(phenytoin and valproic acid), thalidomide,
dioxins, some pesticides, retinoic acid, maternal
cigarette smoking, and alcohol use. Teratogens
may contribute to CL/P and CP by disrupting a
normal developmental patterning process at a
critical stage. Continued research has been focused
on identifying whether and how these teratogens
interact with specific developmental genes.
Infants exposed to anticonvulsants have a ten-
fold increased risk of isolated CL. The exposure
to four or more alcoholic drinks daily significantly
elevated the risk for clefts, especially in those with
Msx1 alteration.[62]
Alcohol inhibits the migration
and differentiation of neural crest cells. The risk for
orofacial clefts as a result of embryonic exposure
to tobacco smoke during the first trimester has been
found to be related to the level of exposure. Twenty
or more cigarettes per day result in a twofold
increase whereas 20 cigarettes/day resulted in
a 1.5-fold increase. Intermittent hypoxia induced
by nicotine probably affects facial development.
A
genetically altered form of tumour growth
factor alpha (TGFA), called a2, may result in
an eightfold increase of the risk associated
with smoke exposure.[63]
This may be related to
maternal nutrition. Maternal nutrition also plays an
important role in the prevention of facial clefting.
A
higher pre-conceptional intake of nutrients
predominantly present in fruits and vegetables
reduces the risk of offspring affected by orofacial
cleft.[64]
The growth of the detailed structures of the
head and face is largely determined genetically, and
these processes are known to be dependent on an
array of signaling molecules, transcription factors,
and growth factors interacting with environmental
factors.[65]
Some of the investigated gene products
are growth factors (e.g., TGFa and TGFb3), some
are transcription factors (e.g., Msx1 and SATB2),
and some influence the metabolism of xenobiotics
(e.g.,
CYP 1A1, GSTM 1 and NAT2), nutrient
metabolism (e.g., methylenetetrahydrofolate
reductase [MTHFR], RARA) or immune responses
(5PVRL1 and IRF6). The most intensively
investigated variants have been of the TGFa and
MTHFR[66]
IRF6 is the gene to study when a
seemingly isolated CL/P patient has minor signs,
such as lip pits. Physicians must look for the
presence of these lip pits very carefully since they
are sometimes not easy to detect. The identification
of a mutation in IRF6 is associated with an increase
in the risk of having a child with CL/P from 4–6%,
the risk of transmission of an isolated cleft, to
50%[67]
Several teratogens are known to increase
the risk of CL/P and CP. They include anti-epileptic
drugs (phenytoin and valproic acid), thalidomide,
dioxins, some pesticides, retinoic acid, maternal
cigarette smoking and alcohol use.[58,68]

COMMON SYNDROMES ASSOCIATED
WITH ORO-FACIAL CLEFT
Velocardiofacial syndrome
This is an autosomal dominant condition and is
associated with Chromosome 22q abnormality,
as a result of a sub-microscopic deletion on the
long arm of Chromosome 22 in the“q11” region
(deletion22q11). It occurs in approximately one
in 2000 live births, and is the most common sub-
microscopic deletion syndrome. There are more
than 100 physical phenotypic features reported, as
7. Ashiq, et al. Orofacial clefting
IJPBA/Apr-Jun-2021/Vol 12/Issue 2 53
VCFS affects every major system in the body. The
most common features are CP, cardiac anomaly,
characteristic facial appearance (vertical maxillary
excess, malar flattening, relative mandibular
retrusion, narrow palpebral fissure, and small ears),
the majority of these patients will need support for
their learning problems.[60]
VAN DER WOUDE SYNDROME
It is one of the commonest syndromes associated
with oral cleft. It is transmitted as an autosomal
dominant and lower lip pits. These pits are located
bilaterally in the lower lip at the junction of dry and
wet vermilion and they are either oval or transverse
in shape. Pits traverse the underlying orbicularis
muscle and end in a blind pouch on the buccal
side and communicate with minor salivary glands.
The associated features are hypodontia, missing
maxillary or mandibular second premolar teeth,
absent maxillary lateral incisor and ankyloglosia.[69]
PIERRE ROBIN SEQUENCE, SYNDROME
With triad of glossoptosis, micrognathia, and
airway obstruction, although cleft is not included
in the triad, it is frequently associated and may
aggravate the obstruction due to tongue fall. The
frequency of occurrence of various deformities are
Micrognathia (91.7%), Glossoptosis (70–85%) or
Macroglossia and Ankyloglossia (10–15 %), and
CP (14%).[70]
Occasionally a bifid or double uvula
with an occult submucous cleft can be present.
Airway obstruction due to tongue fall results in
failure to thrive and is a serious problem in these
patients.[71,72]
Median facial dysplasia is a unique, distinct,
definable group of patients characterized by
midline facial deficiencies in the presence of a
unilateral or bilateral CL with or without CP.[73]
From the age of 6 to 9 months onward, the growth
pattern of the hard palate varies in the various
planes of space. Anatomical distortions such as
high-arched, narrow shapes could therefore be
interpreted as secondarily acquired in later life.
To prevent palatal shape alterations and enhance
oral function which also contributes to maxillary
development it could be advantageous to begin
oral muscular stimulating therapy between 6 and
9 months of age.[74]
Magnetic resonance imaging
and [MRI] and prenatal ultrasound are being used
for detecting prenatal diagnosis. Other associated
syndromes are Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia,
and CL/palate syndrome, Oro-cranio-digital
syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, Wildervanck
syndrome, CHARGE syndrome, Oro-facio-digital
syndrome, Facio-cardio-renal syndrome, Trisomi
Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Cat eye syndrome,
Hay–Wells syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome,
Adams-Oliver syndrome, Turner syndrome, Larsen
syndrome, Apert syndrome, Fraser syndrome,
Gordon syndrome, Klippel Feil syndrome,
Goldenhar disease, Dandy-Walker syndrome, and
Popliteal web syndrome.
Treatment
The orofacial cleft treatment may have the
multidisciplinary team composed of individual
in (1) The medical specialties (genetics,
otorhynolaryngology, pediatrics, plastic surgery,
and psychiatry), (2) The dental specialties
(orthodontics, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, and
prosthodontics), and (3) Allied health care fields
(audiology, nursing, psychology, social work,
and speech pathology). The challenge of modern
palatoplasty is no longer simply successful closure
of the CP.[75]
Nonsurgical treatment of the CP is
attempted with prosthodontic devices designed
to correct velopharyngeal incompetence. For the
Orofacial cleft, corrective surgical procedures
are known to impair maxillary growth and may
lead to midface retrusion.[76]
The primary goals of
palatoplasty is to restore velopharyngeal function
and to ensure normal speech development, The
most common surgical techniques for repair of
the soft palate are the Furlow double-opposing
Z-plasty and the intravelar veloplasty. The bony
palate is often repaired using the Von Langenbeck
palatoplasty, the Veau-Wardill-Kilner palatoplasty,
or a Bardach two-flap palatoplasty. Vomer flaps
are used in conjunction with the above hard palate
repairs to repair the nasal mucosa.[77-79]

CONCLUSION
The orofacial cleft is the deformity that arises
from a genetic or environmental insult during
formation of the maxilla and palate in the first
trimester of gestation. The etiology of the non-
genetic form is multifactorial and likely involves
maternal exposures to teratogens such as tobacco,
alcohol, maternal diseases, maternal use of
vasoactive drugs, and exposure of chemicals in
the first trimester of pregnancy. CL and palate are
both birth defects that affect different structure
and function such as speech difficulty, aesthetic,
eating, and nutrition. Patients with oro-facial cleft
deformity needs to be treated at the right time and
at the right age to achieve functional and aesthetic
well-being The main objective remains prevention,
not correction. Prevention will be conditional on
understanding the causes and devising ways to
avoid or neutralize them early primary surgery with
radical reconstruction of the anatomy followed
by minimal surgical intervention apart from
alveolar bone grafting at the age of 8 to 10 years
and probable rhinoplasty. The multidisciplinary
approach towards this problem led to a steady
improvement in its end results. There is a need
for more studies to be carried out on cleft genetics
since it would help to identify some predisposing
factors to the development of clefts.
