[A current update on the etiopathogenesis of palatoschisis].
By means of a review of the most recent literature, the authors report on "state of the art" about etiology and pathogenesis of cleft palate. Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions regulating growth and orientation of palatal shelves, as well as teratogenic effects on such ultrastructural development control by endogenous and exogenous substances, are described.
