title: [Modern approach to early orthopedic treatment in cleft lip and palate children].
abstract: The aim of the study was to enhance the quality of early orthopedic treatment in cleft lip and palate (CLP) children. Thirty-six infants aged 1 to 6 months were included in the study. The new method of early CLP orthopedic treatment using set of consecutive splints showed some advantages in compare with existing methods for alveolar bone deformity correction. The elaborated technology for CAD/CAM splints fabrication allows precise positioning of maxillary fragments thus improving overall outcome and making it more predictable.
