“…A related case of a mandible fracture has been reported in a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate who was treated prosthetically 4. In the midface fracture case that we encountered, at the time of diagnosis it was difficult to think about the unoperated cleft palate as palatal split is frequently found in midface fractures 5.…”

SUMMARYIn western countries, it is hard to find an unoperated cleft palate due to better healthcare services and awareness. Here, we present an unoperated adult case of cleft palate that had midfacial fractures following a road traffic accident. The patient's cleft lip was repaired when he was 2 years old but the palate was not operated because of poor follow-up. We would like to share the difficulties encountered in diagnosis and treatment planning for this rare kind of trauma case. After routine investigations, a palatal acrylic splint was constructed for fixation and an acceptable degree of function and aesthetics was achieved postoperatively. BACKGROUND

“…Orthodontic treatment, such as arch expansion and monitoring of tooth eruption during adolescence, is usually necessary for subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation. There are various methods of definitive prosthetic treatment for the cleft palate patients (1–11). A combination of bone grafting and implant supported fixed or removable prostheses is an invasive treatment approach.…”

Patients with cleft palates eventually require definitive fixed or removable dental prostheses after the maintenance of arch alignment and occlusal relationship during adolescence. This case report presents application of a resin composite veneered fixed partial denture utilized as a definitive prosthesis for a bilateral cleft palate patient after stable occlusion had been established orthodontically. The composite veneered long span fixed partial denture provides adequate aesthetics and function.
