ABSTRACT
This clinical paper outlines the role of the restorative consultant in the treatment of young cleft lip and palate patients up to the end of their cleft package of care on their 22nd birthday. The multidisciplinary nature of the care is highlighted, including the role of the general dental practitioner in caring for cleft patients in primary care. The various clinical treatment modalities used in this patient group are described with an emphasis on minimally invasive and adhesive approaches. The role of dental implants and removable prostheses are described. Considerations for long-term maintenance, much of which will take place in primary care, are also included.
