Abstract

The study discusses the importance of interdisciplinary approach of pediatricians, surgeons, orthodontists, anesthesiologists and otorhinolaryngologists in the complex rehabilitation of newborns with bilateral cleft lip and palate. The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of treatment of newborns with bilateral cleft lip and palate through preliminary orthodontic preparation. This study clearly emphasizes that the conduction of early pre-surgical orthodontic treatment with the use of individual obturators contributes to the high-quality implementation of further surgical intervention and allows to normalize the act of breastfeeding in newborns. It has been proven that the interdisciplinary approach of doctors of related specialties helps to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis, counseling and subsequent treatment of newborns with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Thus, the integrated approach developed by related specialists in the neonatal period makes it possible to implement a highly qualified and step-by-step treatment from birth up to 18 years of age. Key words: bilateral cleft lip and palate, newborns, individual obturator, pediatrics, feeding, cheiloplasty, orthodontics
