Abstract

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a common congenital abnormality that demands multidisciplinary treatment. It affects 1 in 1,000 live births on average, and isolated cleft palate affects 1 in 2,000 live births. According to several epidemiological studies, if one parent has a cleft, their kid has a 3.2% probability of developing CLP and a 6.8% chance of developing an isolated cleft palate. A child born with a cleft lip or palate, or other craniofacial anomaly has several challenges, such as early feeding and nutritional issues, middle ear illness, hearing loss, speech and resonance irregularities, etc. This article gives an overview of interdisciplinary approach in management of cleft lip and palate and explains the significant role of a Pediatric dentist in management of CLP.
