Abstract:
The interdisciplinary treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate has always been a challenge for professionals, especially when the aim is to restore proper aesthetics and function in areas affected by cleft palate, which frequently causes dental, bone, and gingival loss. It is important to know the periodontal and peri-implant clinical characteristics, corrective and regenerative procedures, difficulties, and sequelae that cleft palate entails, for the correct planning of rehabilitative and esthetic treatments in this type of patient.
