Abstract
A mutual restraint and understanding within the professional team are necessary if the patient with oral-facial-speech difficulties is to gain full benefit of treatment. The repair of a cleft of the palate in most patients is a surgical challenge. However, there are some situations in which a prosthesis is the treatment of choice. Greater knowledge of the nature of the cleft palate defect through research and the use of better diagnostic tools has made possible better service for patients with a cleft palate. A prosthodontist engaged in treating oral-facial-speech handicapped people should be thoroughly familiar with: (1) the anatomic and physiologic deviations of the region involved, and (2) the basic principles involved in prosthetic dentistry, and (3) he should be willing to acquire further knowledge in this field.
