Abstract
|
|
|
|
The use of prosthetic restorations in patients with cleft lip and palate is limited due to the presence of an imbalanced facial harmony, a narrowing of the nose, and a scar in the upper lip. Additionally, the alignment of the anterior teeth is affected due to the constriction of the maxillary arch. To overcome these limitations, a prosthetic design was implemented via communications between the patient and the dental technicians. Digital techniques were used to diagnose and design the prosthesis via three-dimensional (3D) facial scanning (Bellus 3D facial scan app) and integration of the intraoral scanning data. The patient was satisfied with the esthetic and functional outcome of the treatment.
