title: [Etiology and rehabilitation of lip, jaw, palate and velum clefts].
abstract: The heredity rate among the patients treated by the authors (527 cases) was 14.4 percent. Most of the schistases were caused by exogenic noxae. Of 271 children affected, 83.1 percent entered school at the normal age and 14.7 percent later, whereas 2.2 percent were found not educable. A total of 88.5 percent went to ordinary schools and 9.2 percent to special schools. At the elementary stage 10 children (6.1 percent) had to repeat a year once. The most important task in rehabilitation is the full social integration of patients, and special attention must be devoted to the early recognition of developmental disturbances and their treatment through specific advancement measures.
