Integrating oral health into the cleft care continuumCleft lip and palate (clefts) are the most common birth difference of the face and mouth, which can lead to difficulties with feeding and even survival following birth. Cleft lip can affect as many as 1 in 500 births, yet many children never receive the reconstructive surgery they need.
Even children who undergo cleft surgery are often at an increased risk for caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues as they grow and develop. These children require regular dental care to ensure adequate monitoring, education, support, and treatment to prevent oral disease and ensure the highest possible quality of life.

To support this integration, oral health professionals must receive accurate, quality guidance and education in caring for patients with cleft.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the dental home and why it is important for oral health professionals and people with cleft
- Understand oral diseases that affect people with cleft and minimally invasive interventions
- Understand the available interventions to aid babies born with cleft feed, survive and thrive
- Understand the impact the WHO Oral Health Resolution has on comprehensive cleft care

Good evening.Thank you for the Webinar.
What is the better management for cleft lip and palate kids who have aggressive periodontitis and are based in the rural settings?
Thank you very much for the excellent webinar. Unfortunately, CCC is not as advanced in Sudan as it is in Advanced countries with little coordinated care. Are there any international collaborative initiatives to help clinicians with little multidisciplinary support?
Congratulate Peter Moslsey and speakers for enlightening us on very important and often ignored aspect of oral health.
good afternoon, it was mentioned in one of the slides that low-income families are using spoons for feeding as they can’t afford feeding bottles are there any financial support for cleft patients to be able to afford the basic treatment for cleft care

Early access to surgery means what age??
What is your opinion on expanding maxillary arch following secondary alveolar bone grafting of palate and alveolus?? Dies it have any negative effect on surgically repaired lips earlier?
What about occlusion when you fits a crown without preparation ??
When considering general anesthesia to do treatment procedures why we don’t consider to do surgical repair at the same time after doing restorative procedures??
Agradecído por la formación. Saludos desde Sevilla en España.
Good morning !
The appropriate age to do cleft surgery will be directly after birth or we should wait, and how many years we should wait ?
