Q

what has formed by week 11?
what develops first?
what develops next?

A

the palate
The primary palate develops first (hard palate)
The palatal shelves elevate and fuse in the midline to form the complete palate. This is the secondary palate

Q

why does cleft lip and palate occur?

A

Whilst it is not known why clefts occur, they are generally caused by a failure of complete fusion of the various prominences that come together to form the face.

Q

what is oro-nasal fistula?
cause?

A
  • A hole or opening in the palate after cleft palate
    repair
  • Caused by breakdown of tissue during the healing
    process post surgery
  • Can open after maxillary expansion or growth
31
Q

what are residual clefts?

A

Unrepaired cleft of hard palate or alveolus which
is deliberately left open to be closed later
Lohmander and Harding Bell (2019)

32
Q

effect of oronasal fistula depends on:

A
  • Size- larger the more symptomatic
  • Location- under the tongue tip will be
    most symptomatic
  • May cause nasal regurgitation
33
Q

What is the mechanism of normal feeding?

A

Combination of compression and suction to extract milk from bottle.
Compression helps to push milk out of teat and suction results in milk being extracted from teat.

34
Q

What is compression in feeding?

A

positive pressure on teat i.e. when teat is placed between the tongue and palate

35
Q

What is suction in feeding?

A

negative pressure created within the oral cavity i.e. lower jaw drops and tongue and nasal cavity is sealed off resulting in an enlarged sealed chamber

36
Q

What is the effect of cleft lip/palate on feeding?

A

 Babies with a cleft lip or small cleft of the soft palate may feed without difficulty.
 Babies with larger clefts may have difficulty feeding due to not being able to create suction.
 Milk may also spill into nose and come out of nostril during feeding.

37
Q

Common Feeding difficulties with cleft lip and palate

A

 Poor oral suction
 Weak suck
 Difficulty holding soother in mouth
 Poor intake with lengthy feeding times
 Nasal regurgitation
 Intake of excessive air due to cleft
 Fatigue (expend excess energy)
 Poor weight gain
 Stressful feeding interactions
 Reid et.al (2007) found 73% of infants with a cleft palate had feeding difficulties
characterised by an inefficient suck and inability to develop adequate intraoral
negative pressure from a breast or regular nipple (Arvedson & Brodsky, 2002)

38
Q

Why do children have increased risk of middle ear disease compared to adults?

A

flatter angle of the Eusatchian tube= ineffective drainage and aeration of middle ear

39
Q

Why do people with CP/L have increased risk of ear infections?

A

tensor veli palatini (CN V) opens eustachian tube for middle ear aeration and drainage, as well as being part of soft palate muscles

40
Q

high incidence of otitis media with effusion in children with CP

A

*92% in children 2-20 mths with cleft (Robinson et al (1992) versus
*20% in 24 mths olds without a cleft (Zielhuis et al, 1990)

41
Q

what is OME?

A

A type of conductive hearing loss
Variable and unpredictable hearing impairment e.g. as little as 10dB or as much as 40dB (in which case the child may experience difficulty with consonant discrimination.

42
Q

how can OME be treated?

A

grommet insertion or hearing aids

43
Q

how can CP affect dentition?

A

Cleft palate can produce variations in number, enamel formation and eruption of teeth in the affected area, with the lateral incisor being most affected.
Alterations of tooth development in other areas can also occur:
- missing, fused or peg-shaped teeth
- delay in tooth formation and eruption of secondary teeth
- teeth are generally smaller than those in the non-cleft population

44
Q

do dental anomalies have an effect on speech?

A

minimal effect

45
Q

what is an alveolar bone graft?

A

The alveolar bone graft is designed to fill the gap in the bone to allow teeth to erupt normally. Filling the gap also closes the connection (fistula) to the nose and improves the shape of the upper jaw for future alignment of the teeth.

46
Q

orthodontic alignment

A

aligning jaw correctly

47
Q

osteotomy

A

the surgical cutting of a bone, especially to allow realignment.

48
Q

malocclusion

A

misalignment of teeth

49
Q

lateral occlusion

A

Malposition of tooth or entire dental arch in a direction away from midline.

50
Q

classification of the bite/occlusion

A

class I, II, III

51
Q

Class I

A

normal relationship between teeth and jaw

52
Q

Class II

A

occurs when the lower dental arch is posterior (more towards the back of the mouth) than the upper one.

53
Q

Class III occlusion

A

when the lower molars are very forward and do not fit their corresponding upper molars

54
Q

impact of class III occlusion on speech production

A

There is a lack of
maxillary space and so the tongue may have insufficient space to function. Therefore
anterior tongue tip sounds can be produced by the blade of the tongue, causing
lateralisation and palatalisation of consonants.
* In severe Class III malocclusions it may be difficult to achieve labiodental placement
for /f/ and /v/, resulting in bilabial fricatives or dentolabial fricatives

55
Q

how the palate works for speech

A

soft palate closes to create pressure needed for the production of certain sounds

56
Q

normal velopharyngeal function: nasal and oral

A

nasal: velopharyngeal port remains open
oral: velopharyngeal port closes

57
Q

weak pressure consonants

A

/w, l, j, ɹ,h/

58
Q

cleft velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD)

A

structural VP insufficiency
- unrepaired CP (overt/submucous)
- postsurgical insufficiencies (e.g. palatal length too short post palate repair: VPI postadenoidectomy

59
Q

impact of palate being too short?

A

can’t reach base of nose

60
Q

who should never have adenoids out?

A

children with CP

61
Q

non-cleft VPD includes:

A

VP insufficiency: structural
VP Incompetency: neurogenic
VP mislearning

62
Q

VP insufficiency (structural)

A
  • mechanical interference (e.g. excessive tonsils or posterior pillar webbing
  • palatopharyngeal disproportion (deep pharynx)
  • ablative palatal lesions (e.g. cancer, traumatic injury)
63
Q

VP incompetency (neurogenic)

A
  • congenital or acquired primary motor/neuromotor control (dysarthria)
  • motor association/motor programming (apraxia)
64
Q

VP mislearning

A
  • phoneme-specific nasal emission
  • persistent postoperative nasal emission (with adequate closure ability)
  • compensatory misarticulations
  • deafness/hearing impairment
65
Q

Effects of VP insufficiency/incompetence on speech

A
  • Resonance
    Hypernasality
  • Nasal Airflow
    Nasal Emission
    Nasal Turbulence
  • Articulation:
    Passive cleft speech characteristics (CSC’s)
66
Q

how is hypernasality judged?

A

Temple Street Scale of Nasality and Nasal Airflow (Sweeney, 2000 & 2011)
a)mild: evident but acceptable.
b)mild-moderate: unacceptable distortion , evident on close vowels
c)moderate: evident on close and open vowels.
d)moderate – severe: evident on all vowels and some consonants.
e)Severe: evident on all vowels and most voiced consonants

67
Q

how is hyponasality judged?

A

Temple Street Scale of Nasality and Nasal Airflow (Sweeney, 2000 & 2011)
a)mild: evident, but acceptable.
b)moderate: all vowels reduced nasality
c)severe: total denasal production of nasal consonants

68
Q

nasal airflow errors occur:

A

when there is an
inappropriate escape of air through the nose during
speech.

69
Q

nasal emission:

A
  • Audible escape of air through the nose on production
    of oral pressure sounds
  • Perceived as frictional sound
  • Accompanies a phoneme
70
Q

nasal turbulence:

A
  • Audible escape of air through the nose on production
    of oral pressure sounds
  • Perceived as turbulent or snorting sound
  • Accompanies a phoneme
71
Q

active cleft speech characteristics

A
  • adaptive/mislearning
  • compensatory articulation is altered in response to previous or present abnormal
    structure
  • responds to therapy
72
Q

passive cleft speech characteristics

A
  • Structurally/ physiologically related
  • Obligatory: articulation is normal but the abnormal structure results in distortion of the speech sound
  • needs surgery
