Prosthetic management of nasoalveolar clefts in newborns: a series of case reports.

Orofacial clefts are congenital deformities that manifest at birth causing difficulty in breathing and feeding. The severity depends on the extent of involvement that can include lip, alveolar ridge, hard palate and soft palate. Prosthodontic management poses a great challenge due to lack of cooperation from the patient and the inadequate size of oral cavity. Two case reports of prosthodontic management of nasoalveolar clefts that were treated in our department are presented.
