16
Q

When does the development of the face and upper lip begin?

A

5-9 week IU

17
Q

how does the lip normally form?

A

maxillary processes fuse together

18
Q

how does the palate form?

A

palatal processes of the maxillary processes fuse 6-11th week IU

19
Q

when do tooth germs develop?

A

7th week IU

20
Q

what defects may appear in teeth where clefts are present?

A
duplication of tooth types
malformed roots/crowns
enamel hypoplasia
hypodontia
ectopic teeth
21
Q

what other problems may sufferers of clefts experience?

A
feeding problems
hearing difficulties
speech difficulties
emotional problems
dental anomolies
22
Q

Why may issues occur with feeding?

A

child may be unable to create adequate negative intra oral pressure
results in extended feeding times and reduced nutritional intake

23
Q

what device can help feeding in children with clefts?

A

haberman feeders

24
Q

Why are problems with hearing often associated?

A

problems can occur with middle ear ventilation or Eustachian tubes

25
Q

palatal surgery can also help what function?

A

Eustachian tube function

26
Q

How can speech be adversely affected?

A

fistulae or soft palate may not make contact with pharynx

poor speech often comes secondary to poor hearing

27
Q

what can aid speech?

A

SALT

Electropalatography EPG

28
Q

what order does specialist treatment come in?

A

birth- parental councilling and feeding advice
3 months- lip repair
6-12 months- palate repair
SALT and ENT
mixed dentition- preventative advice and ortho Ax
8.5-10 year- expansion and alveolar bone grafting
permanent dentition- definitive ortho, orthognatic surgery and plastics

29
Q

what pre surgery orthopaedics can be carried out?

A

URA
prevent tongue sitting in cleft
encourages lateral palatal shelf growth
aids feeding in infants

30
Q

describe lip repair surgery

A

carried out at 3 months

dissect and re oppose muscles of lip and alar base

31
Q

why is minimal dissection important in lip repair surgery?

A

so scarring is limited and growth not further limited

32
Q

describe palatal surgery

A

carried out 6-12 months

aims to separate nasal and oral cavity

33
Q

what issues may be seen in the mixed dentition?

A
delayed eruption
hypodontia
general smaller tooth size
abnormalities in tooth size and shape
enamel defects
34
Q

what role does orthodontics take re. clefts?

A

provision of pre surgery orthopaedics
from 6 years- alignment of maxillary dentition and correction of cross bites
provision of obturators

35
Q

what preparation should be taken prior to alveolar bone grafting

A

removal of any supernumeraries or decisuous teeth prior to surgery
pre surgery expansion in maxillary segments
allignement of upper anteriors with FA during expansion

36
Q

where is bone sourced for bone grafting?

A

cancellous bone is used
iliac crest
tibia
cranial cancellous bone

37
Q

what definitive ortho should be carried out in permanent dentition?

A

FA if no skeletal discrepancies

if Skeletal discrepancy- orthagnatic surgery when growth has ceased

38
Q

what ortho surgery is commonly required?

A

maxilla is often required to be expanded due to inhibited growth
