Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is phenotypically diverse, making classification difficult. This article explores the evolution of ideas regarding CL/P classification and includes the schemes described by Davis and Ritchie (1922), Brophy (1923), Veau (1931), Fogh-Andersen (1943), Kernahan and Stark (1958), Harkins et al. (1962), Broadbent et al. (1968), Spina (1973), and others. Based on these systems, a longhand structured form is proposed for describing CL/P in a way that is clear…

Cleft Lip and Palate: Clinical Update

TLDR
A number of specialists involves in treatment of clefting and decides the best treatment plan depending on the site of defect and age of the infant.

Prevalence of non-syndromic orofacial clefts: based on 15,094,978 Chinese perinatal infants

TLDR
The results will serve as a baseline for future assessment of the overall effectiveness of NSOFC control, and will also support and inform health policy for planning and helping health debates.

Subphenotyping and Classification of Cleft Lip and Alveolus in Adult Unoperated Patients

TLDR
This study showed that all CL±A including the Simonart bands can be classified, that further morphological grading of incomplete CLs is clinically relevant, and that the premaxilla forms the deficient part in alveolar deformities.

Orofacial clefts: treatment based on a multidisciplinary approach

TLDR
The treatment of patients with orofacial clefts requires the approach of a multidisciplinary team that involves physicians in the area of plastic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, pediatrics, geneticists, dentists, prosthetics, nurses and speech pathologists, focusing on patient prevention, recovery and rehabilitation.

Do Orofacial Clefts Impair Breastfeeding and Increase the Prevalence of Anemia?

TLDR
It is suggested that the breastfeeding process is more complex, and the history of anemia is more frequent, in children with cleft lip and palate or rare orofacial clefts than in children without clefts.

A Population-Based Exploration of the Social Implications Associated with Cleft Lip and/or Palate

TLDR
Social implications associated with CL/P are most pronounced during middle school, and less so during elementary and high school, while areas of social improvement aimed at reducing the stigma are identified.

Cleft Lip and Palate Repair.

TLDR
The multidisciplinary management of children with oral cleft determinated good results, in terms of satisfaction and aesthetic appearance.

Eighteen-Year Follow-Up of 160 Consecutive Individuals Born With Unilateral Cleft Lip or Cleft Lip and Alveolus Treated by the Oslo Cleft Lip and Palate Team

TLDR
Findings provide a reference for morphologic variations in CL±A, and insight into the surgical burden of care until the age of 18 years, and help clarify the role of alveolar bone graft treatment in cleft severity and laterality.

Beumer Classification of Labial-alveolar-palatal Clefts: Suggestion for Complement

TLDR
The authors propose to update this classification by modifying it and proposing a class that did not exist in the original classification of Beumer and this modification seems important to us as a complement to this classification.

ROLE OF A PEDODONTIST IN CLEFT LIP AND CLEFT PALATE REHABILITATION - AN OVERVIEW

TLDR
The enormous challenges faced by these innocent souls and the vital role played by a Pedodontist, to provide comprehensive cleft care, be it preventive, restorative, or interventional care, in order to achieve the best possible outcome and meaningfully improve their quality of life are described.

Cleft Lip and Palate

TLDR
A 2-week-old infant with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) is brought to clinic by his parents and the only associated abnormality is a small atrial septal defect.

Symbolic representation of cleft lip and palate.

TLDR
A new scheme is presented that synthesizes what the authors feel are the most advanced of the existing symbolic representations of cleft lip and palate anomalies and specifically provides for ratings of severity and facilitates computerized data storage and analysis.

Epidemiology and etiology of clefts.

TLDR
Empiric risk figures and some examples of cleft syndromes are presented and heredity is the most important etiologic factor and is probably responsible for 25 to 50% of the cases depending on the type of clefts, whereas the influence of exogenous factors is still of unknown nature.
