Abstract :
A cleft palate is a genetic disorder that occurs when an oro–nasal communication is present between the palate and the base of the nose. During pregnancy, the maxillary is not completely merged, and the defect is only seen at birth.Possible causes are hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, infections, radiation during pregnancy, alcoholor cigarette consumption, the ingestion of other teratogenic substances by the mother, and heredity. The resulting defect requires corrective surgery. In the case of a cleft palate, surgery is postponed until after the first year of life to avoid disturbing the normal development of speech and the risk of aspiration of food, which causes infections such as otitis and pneumonia. This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of completely edentulous patient.
