[Construction of the new dental arch in the prosthetic rehabilitation of cleft lip and palate. Case report].
The authors describe the prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate. After the surgical and orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate patients the prosthodontic treatment was started to correct the palatal defect, the malocclusion and the missing teeth. The authors emphasize on preliminary steps by using diagnostic casts and try-in dentures and they also suggest other directives in the dental management of cleft lip and palate patients.
