Abstract
Cleft lip and palate is the most frequent congenital oral dysmophosis (1/600 births). They can be associated with polyformative syndromes. The aetiology is most often unknown, but heredity is still a predominant factor. These clefts result from an absence or insufficient fusion of the different facial buds occurring from the fifth to the 7th week of intrauterine life. They can have several forms. The treatment of cleft lip and palate requires multidisciplinary management. When orthodontics is lacking, the prosthesis takes over. Combined with maxillofacial surgery, the results are spectacular.

Summary
Cleft lip-palate (FLP) is one of the most common deformities of the face. Their prevalence is around 1 birth / 700 worldwide. They result from a defect in fusion of the facial buds at the end of the first month of embryogenesis. The etiology appears to be multifactorial with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Their management is complex and multidisciplinary, which involves surgical interventions, orthodontics and prosthesis. We will study, through a clinical case, the management of cleft lip and palate including surgery and prosthesis
