Multidisciplinary Approach for Reestablishing Function and Aesthetic of Unilateral Cleft Lip Defect : A Case Report

Cleft lip and/or cleft palate defects often result in a functional deficiency in the patient's chewing, speech ability, and aesthetic appearance, usually demanding multidisciplinary effort for addressing the aesthetic and functional patient's requirements. This clinical report describes the planned oral rehabilitation of a 46-year-old woman with unilateral cleft lip defect based on the patient's peculiarities and age. Due to limitations concerning bone grafts and implant procedures, as well as orthodontic treatment, the prosthodontic rehabilitation using the metal-ceramic fixed partial denture was chosen. The treatment adequately reestablished the aesthetic and functional activities, positively impacting the patient's quality of life.
