Cleft Lip and Palate (Abubaker) Flashcards
What approach is indicated for the management of a pt with Cleft Lip and Palate?
Team approach
What do Tessier classifications center on when describing clefting?
The eye
What single genetic defect leading to one phenotype, which causes another genetic defect?
Sequence
What is a multiple or single genetic defect that leads to multiple phenotypes?
Syndrome
A pt that has a genetically malformed small jaw that results in an inability for the tongue to descend to the floor of themouth which results in a cleft palate has a syndrome or a sequence
Sequence (Pierre Robin sequence is described here)
What is the Pierre Robin sequence triad?
- Celft Palate
- Macroglossia
- Micrognathia
What percentage of cleft lip and palate patients have an associated anomaly?
30%
What is the recurrence rate of CLP in families if the first sibling has CLP?
Low, about 5%
What are the 2 populations with the highest CLP rate?
- Asians
2. Native Americans
What is the population with the lowest CLP rate?
Africans
Which has a higher chance of being associated with a syndrome: isolated cleft lip or isolated cleft lip or isolated cleft palate?
Isolated cleft palate
What percentage of patient with clefting have either an isolated cleft lip or an isolated cleft palate?
70% (this is contraindicated by info presented in the same lecture)
What are 2 things that increase the risk for clefting while pregnant?
- Maternal diabetes mellitus
2. Amniotic band syndrome
What parental characteristic increases the risk for clefting?
Increased paternal age
What percentage of clefting cases are combined Cleft Lip and Palate?
50%
What percentage of clefting cases are isolated cleft palate?
30%
What percentage of clefting cases are isolated cleft lip?
20%
What percentage of clefting cases are cleft lip and alveolus?
5%
What are the bones that make up the hard palate?
Palatine process of maxilla and palatine bones
What is the blood supply of the hard palate?
Greater palatine artery
What is the nerve supply to the hard palate?
Anterior palatine nerve
What is the fibromuscular shelf attached to the posterior portion of the hard palate, which etenses, elevates using what muscles?
This describes the soft palate which uses the tensor veli palatini, legator veli palatini, muscular is uvulae, palatoglossus and palatopharyngeus muscles to elevate.
The soft palate comes in contact with what structure on swallowing to keep food from going up into the nasopharynx?
Passavant’s Ridge (bulge produced during contraction of pharyngeal wall)

- Pedodontist / general dentist
- Orthodontist
- Prosthodontist
- Audiologist
- Psychologist
- Speech pathologist
- Social worker
- Geneticist
True or false: with a cleft, all parts of the lip or palate are present, they simply failed to fuse in a normal way?
True
The maxillary process, lateral nasal process, and the median nasal process join and fuse to form what?
The primary palate
When is the primary palate formed?
Six weeks in utero
When does the tongue moves inferiorly allowing the lateral palatal shelves to grow towards the midline and fuse?
Eight weeks in utero
