Abstract

Objective: This study highlights through an integrative review the importance of multidisciplinary treatment in the rehabilitation of cleft lip and/or palate. Study Design: An integrative review was performed using SciELO and Lilacs databases, with the descriptors cleft lip, cleft palate, and multidisciplinary treatment. Results: Based on the literary works analyzed, it was noted that for the treatment to be successful, an intervention with multidisciplinary participation is necessary. It is the union of medicine with dentistry for surgical promotion, along with nutrition, phonoaudiology and psychology to obtain rehabilitation before and after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: The treatment of the patient with cleft lip or palate should be done by a multidisciplinary team, aiming at rehabilitation and avoiding physical and psychological consequences, along with a social monitoring of the families, thus evidencing the risk factors that can induce the cleft lip palate (CLP). Following this aspect, it is the responsibility of health professionals to adequately treat those affected, giving all the necessary support for their rehabilitation.
