title: [The creation of a functional obturator plate by a direct method in the neonatal orthodontic treatment of cheilopalatoschisis].
abstract: The paper describes a simple direct method for the preparation of a functional filling plate in the neonatal orthopedic treatment of cleft palate harelip. This method allows the corrective plate to be realised so as to reproduce the complex deformed anatomical structure in the smallest detail, thus avoiding the major problems of acceptance, function and load distribution on the delicate neonatal mucosa.
