[Covering of residual palatal defects by a combination of prostheses]

We carried out successful oral rehabilitation of a 17 year old female patient, who had a congenital cleft lip and palate. Having been operated on several times, she still had residual cleft on her palate. We used removable metal plate clipped to the cemented circular bridge to cover the communication. It is known that fixed prostodontics are more acceptable for patients, and cause less psychical difficulties, especially in cases of patients with congenital disorders, which have already caused psychical disturbances.
