Oblique facial cleft, cleft palate, and supernumerary teeth secondary to amniotic bands.
A case of oblique facial cleft with supernumerary deciduous molars, probably caused by amniotic bands is reported. Besides facial cleft, and cleft palate and lip, there are sulci on the left side of the face and on the left posterior alveolar ridge. The sulci may be impressions of amniotic bands at a late gestational age and supernumerary teeth may also be related to these amniotic bands.
