“…Several treatment modalities for replacing the missing lateral incisor in patients with CLP have been reported (Kurtulmus et al, 2007;Bidra, 2012;Balkaya et al, 2014;Canpolat et al, 2014;Levy-Bercowski et al, 2019;Szmidt et al, 2019). Although an orthodontic treatment presents the least-invasive treatment modality, esthetic limitations regarding canine color and shape irregularities in relation to the central incisor represent a major drawback (Ronchi et al, 1995;Wang et al, 2014).…”

“…In these cases, prosthodontic replacement of the lateral incisors is required after the orthodontic maintenance of the edentulous space. Prosthodontic treatment alternatives vary from removable (Kurtulmus et al, 2007;Balkaya et al, 2014;Levy-Bercowski et al, 2019) to fixed (Bidra, 2012;Canpolat et al, 2014;Szmidt et al, 2019) dental restorations. In younger patients, fixed dental restorations provide increased psychological satisfaction and should be considered if possible (Bidra, 2012).…”

Missing lateral incisors are the most frequent dental disorder associated with cleft alveolus. When orthodontic closure of the edentulous space is not possible, more aggressive prosthodontic treatments are required. Contemporary resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) represent a promising, time-efficient alternative treatment with fewer biological complications. This clinical report proposes a modified approach to the esthetic rehabilitation of a patient with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate on the left side and an incomplete cleft lip and alveolar cleft on the right side. Digital diagnostics, treatment planning, and clinical procedures involved in the fabrication of facially bonded RBFDPs are presented. This modified technique enables the concurrent replacement of lateral incisors and correction of the malformed central incisors as well as increasing the retention of the restorations.

“…The prosthodontic evaluation and treatment usually occur in the last phase, when surgical and orthodontic treatment have been completed (Esper et al, 2009;Abreu et al, 2015). Different options are possible in patients with large defects or missing premaxilla, including fixed restorations (Bidra, 2012;Erverdi et al, 2013;Balkaya et al, 2014;Levy-Bercowski et al, 2019), hybrid prostheses, overdenture prostheses, and dental implants (Weischer et al, 1997;Acharya and Brecht, 2014). The objective of this clinical case report is to describe the interdisciplinary management of a young adult patient with CBCLP with missing premaxilla, and his prosthodontic rehabilitation using a fixed dental prosthesis to camouflage the bony defect and restore the facial and dental aesthetics.…”

The smile is an important part of the individual’s facial expression, it allows the communication of emotions and ideas. However, its aesthetics can be severely compromised in patients with cleft lip and palate due to multiple missing, malformed and malposed teeth, abnormal soft tissue morphology, upper lip scar tissue, and altered anatomy in the lower third of the face. This clinical case reports the interdisciplinary treatment approach of a young male patient with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate and missing premaxilla. Prosthodontic rehabilitation included a zirconia-based fixed dental prosthesis, with pink porcelain to camouflage the bony defect and restore the facial and dental aesthetics. Maxillary second premolars received lithium disilicate crowns to obtain a more harmonious smile line and adequate occlusion. A resin-bonded fixed partial denture restored a missing mandibular central incisor. Tooth proportions, gingival contours and facial ratios routinely used in noncleft patients, were used to achieve a consonant smile. The final restorations satisfied the patient’s expectations, restored an aesthetically pleasant smile, and provided an adequate occlusion.
