Description
Summary:In patients with cleft lip and palate the most common associated dental problem is lateral incisor agenesis, often associated with lack of support and definition of the nasal tip. In many cases, adhesions deriving from surgical procedures and skeletal discrepancy make orthognathic surgery and rhinoseptoplasty unavoidable. In the present case report a dental rehabilitation with canine substitution and prosthetic-implant treatment in a posterior area is described. The use, during rhinoseptoplasty, of a customized titanium prosthesis, which provides projection for the tip of the nose, is also introduced. The patient was administered two questionnaires in order to assess the psychological aspects related to the cleft outcomes and the influence that the treatment conveyed.
