Abstract: | Cleft lip and palate patients need various approaches and treatments. At Hokkaido University Hospital, medical, dental, para medical, and para dental specialists have a team approach, and worked with cleft lip and palate patients since 1990. Moreover, final treatment of cleft lip and palate are usually prosthetic which should be stable and function in their oral space for long periods of time. This is usually with good prognosis. This study investigated the past 23 years of prosthetic treatments and analyzed their effectiveness. This long term follow up revealed that the availability of metal retainers, or bridge work prevented post-orthodontic relapse. |
