Cleft Lip and Palate Management: A Comprehensive Atlas

Cleft Lip and Palate Management: A ComprehensiveAtlas with 2,500 photographs andillustrations provides the latest concepts about thesurgical/orthodontic interrelation in cleft lip and palatetreatment. Drs. Bennun and Harfin detail the diagnostic techniquesto determine the best treatment protocols for optimal results anddecreased chance of retreatment.

The first part explains the principles of cleft and palatetreatment, including the role of tissue engineering in craniofacialsurgery. Part 2 details the aspects of primary surgicalreconstruction, Part 3 discusses orthodontic treatments of cleftlip and palate, including a chapter on adult treatment, and Part 4covers how to improve results in interdisciplinary treatment. Casepresentations include results of treatment after 20–year follow upvisits. Ideal for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pediatricplastic surgeons, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and residentsin these specialties.
