    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Craniofacial Anomalies

    Background:

    • Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are common congenital conditions requiring multidisciplinary management.
    • Prosthodontic intervention is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics in CLP patients.
    • Effective rehabilitation addresses mastication, phonation, facial harmony, and dental alignment.

    Observation:

    • This case study focuses on a patient with a congenital bilateral cleft lip and palate.
    • The patient presented with functional and aesthetic deficits typical of this condition.
    • A unique prosthodontic rehabilitation approach was employed.

    Findings:

    • The implemented prosthodontic treatment successfully restored mastication and improved dental harmony.
    • Significant enhancements in facial aesthetics and phonation were achieved.
    • The rehabilitation method positively impacted the patient's psychological well-being.

    Implications:

    • This unique prosthodontic method offers a viable solution for complex bilateral cleft lip and palate cases.
    • It highlights the importance of tailored prosthodontic care in improving the quality of life for CLP patients.
    • Further research into novel techniques for CLP rehabilitation is warranted.
