Abstract

Although cleft palate patients are not regularly seen in general dental practice, their number is not negligible. Prosthodontic treatment of such patients requires good planning, taking into account the remaining teeth and roots, deformation of maxillary segments, residual palatal defect and the disproportion between the upper and lower alveolar ridge.
The authors describe prosthetic therapy of a cleft palate patient using root copings, modified Dolder bar, cone and veneer crowns with rests and metal base partial prosthesis, with the aim of providing satisfactory function, aesthetics and alleviation of the deformities.
