“…It can aid nursing, stimulate oral-facial development, helps develop the palatal shelves, prevent tongue distortion and nasal septum irritation, decrease the number of ear infections, expand the collapsed maxillary segment and promote neonate health which is important in preparing the baby later for the surgical procedures. 17 Bansal 18 discussed that the early provision of feeding plates will be more effective, they discussed a case where feeding plates was provided for one day old neonate. Additionally, Savion and Huband (2005) [19] suggest that the use of a feeding plate may reduce stress on behalf of the parents and child and may encourage weight gain.…”

Neonates with cleft lip&/or palate face a lot of difficulties because of a lack of proper seal between the oral and nasal cavities. Feeding is the most common problem faced by parents of such children. This problem can be addressed by feeding plates which obturate the cleft and promote development of seal, hence proper feeding is initiated. So the role of a Prosthodontics is very important. However parents need to have proper knowledge about the same so that they can bring their chidren for proper consultation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of awareness about feeding plates among the parents of cleft lip&/or plate children. This study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics Govt Dental College Srinagar. Questionnaires were distributed to parents of children with cleft lip &/or palate and responses to the questionnaires were then analyzed. 50 Parents participated in the study. Results of the study found that parents faced a lot of feeding difficulties. However more than half of them were unaware about the feeding plates and wished to have received more information about the same. The study concluded that the early provision of prosthesis will result in better outcome for these patients, & there is a need to increase awareness regarding role of Prosthodontics during rehabilitation of cleft patients.

“…Feeding obturator becomes urgent in CLP infants considering the health of the infant as surgical treatment usually starts at 2–3 months of age. [ 4 ] Presurgical orthopedic appliance fabrication for children with cleft also begins with impression making. However, little is found in literature regarding the impression required to fabricate these maxillary appliances.…”

“…It has been emphasized in literature that every precaution must be taken while making impression for neonates and infants with cleft palate, and surgeons' presence is needed to manage airway emergency. [ 4 5 ] Maneuvering the child's head position forward to avoid the aspiration of impression material has been the only suggested precaution. This does not ensure complete control over the impression material and avoidance of complication of impression material being pushed too deep into the nasal cavity or distally through the pharynx.…”

Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies of humans. Intraoral impression making is the first clinical step in the fabrication of feeding appliance for infants with oro-nasal communication. It is difficult to control the flow of the impression material in the cleft area and undercuts in a child patient. This clinical report presents a simple and safe impression technique for maxillary impression making in neonates and infants with cleft palate. A gauze piece was used to confine the impression material during functional movements of sucking while impression making in an awake child to avoid the risk of aspiration or swallowing.

Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies of humans. A child born with cleft lip and palate may experience difficulties while feeding due to lack of seal of the oral cavity due to incomplete facial and palatal structures. Difficulty in feeding leads to inadequate nutrition and affects the health of the infant. Feeding difficulties should be assessed and intervened as early as possible, as they are an important aspect of the multidisciplinary team approach in the management of cleft lip and palate. Feeding appliance is a favorable feeding option in these infants as it creates a separation between oral and nasal cavities and thus helps in creating a negative intraoral pressure during suckling. This case report represents a fabrication of feeding appliance for a 2-day-old neonate born with cleft lip and palate, using copper wire as a retainer for the appliance.
