“…High volume suction should be chairside so as to manage any orogastric regurgitation during procedure. The impression is made when the infant is fully awake without anaesthesia or premedication 11. The infant should be able to cry during impression procedure as not crying may be indicative of airway blockage 12…”

The immediate problem to be addressed in a new born with cleft lip and palate is the interference of feeding. Here we present a case of cleft lip and palate for which a feeding obturator was made to facilitate feeding till the defect could be surgically repaired. The design was modified by placing orthodontic wire on the acrylic plate for attaching the ties of mouth mask. Different precautionary measures undertaken while making impression for infant have also been described. Feeding appliance improved the sucking ability of the infant. The attachment of mouth-mask ties help in easy retrieval of the obturator intraorally in case of airway obstruction.

A Feeding Appliance for an Infant with Cleft Palate

et al. 2017

Cleft palate and cleft lip are the most common congenital deformities involving the orofacial region. One of the most important problems with this deformation is difficulties with feeding due to lack of sufficient negative intraoral pressure which prevents regurgitation of food into the nasal cavity. Cleft lip and cleft palate can be surgically treated but repair of the palate is usually delayed until 6 months to 2 years of age. Early repair of the palate may have a negative effect on the growth and development of maxilla due to the resulting scar tissue. This article presents the Prosthodontic management of an infant with a cleft palate through fabricating a feeding plate (palatal obturator). Keywords: Cleft palate, Feeding plate, Palatal obturator

“…For centuries, surgeons have recognized the challenges; the main obstacles to the lip repair being the protruding premaxilla and the deficient or absent columella making the nose tip flat [1]. In BCLP cases with protruded premaxilla, palatal movement through an intervention called pre-surgical infant maxillary orthopedics can be done which is an adjunctive neonatal therapy for the correction of BCLP [2,3]. McNeil (1950) popularized early maxillary orthopedics in CLP [4].…”

Bilateral cleft lip and palate often poses a problem to the surgical repair due to the anterior placement of the premaxilla which results in tension at the suture line. To facilitate the ease in surgical repair, nasoalveolar molding extends a helping hand in retracting the premaxilla and finer scar forms when a surgical incision heals under less tension. This article provides an insight of new appliance design which works on the Latham's appliance principles. The appliance utilizes an acrylic splint cemented on the premaxilla and alveolar portion of the palate, used to reposition the protruded premaxilla in child who reported late with primary teeth.
