Cleft Lip and Palate- the Role of Pedodontist in Rehabilitation
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Orofacial clefts—including cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), and cleft palate (CP) alone, are among the most common congenital anomalies. CLP are immediately recognizable disruption of normal facial structure accounting approximately one in 600 new born babies and over 300 syndromes are known to have cleft of the lip or palate as an associated feature. There has been a robust growth in the treatment of cleft lip and palate and has come a long way before the total rehabilitation by multi disciplinary approach has helped the cleft patient lead a normal life with almost a face as normal as any other individual. The credentials go to the excellent surgical skills that are intricate with seamless multidisciplinary teamwork by various specialists. However, Pedodontists role in the multidisciplinary team approach has been very faint in spite of the fact that he is the right specialist being trained in every aspect of anatomy, physiology and psychology of a child who is not just a miniature adult. Any wrong handling of patient even with slightest breach of psychological handling a cognitively immature can leave the child permanently handicapped as far as dental fear and anxiety are concerned so he is the right person who can handle a child better. Hence, their active role in early intervention in overall management is highly recommended. The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight on role of Pedodontist in comprehensive management of CLP patient from birth to adolescence.
