Cleft Lip and Palate Diagnosis and Management [Hardcover]

Cleft Lip and Palate: Diagnosis and Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. A unique feature of the book is that it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes, and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout the discussion of growth and treatment concepts, the importance of differential diagnosis in treatment planning is underscored. The underlying argument is that all the treatment goals  good speech, facial aesthetics, dental occlusion, and psychological development  may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for another. This updated third edition includes new chapters on further successful physiological treatment protocols, strategies for coping with psychological effects, the excellent clinical work being undertaken in Asia, future multicenter palatal growth studies, and other topics.

A comprehensive compendium of analysis and data on longitudinal studies of progress following corrective interventions in cases of cleft lip and palate, this revised and updated new edition has several new chapters and remains an unequaled survey of the field.
