Abstract

The dental rehabilitation treatment of cleft lip and palate patients requires a multi-pronged interdisciplinary involvement of orthodontics, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics and oral surgery to provide them with optimal esthetics, function, and stability. These teams provide a multi-faceted evaluation which includes input from a variety of professional disciplines making it possible for coordinated care and reduces the fragmentation of several independent specialists. Teams also have a special opportunity to address the complex social and psychological issues prevalent in treating persons with birth defects This clinical case series describes an interdisciplinary (oral surgery, orthodontics, restorative and prosthodontics) approach for the coordinated treatment of cleft lip and palate patients.
