Popis: This article describes the role of the restorative dentist in the multidisciplinary management of cleft lip and palate patients. The various clinical presentations and restorative challenges are outlined. The restorative treatment of cleft patients requires the use of a wide range of different clinical skills and techniques to achieve oral rehabilitation. The various treatment modalities are described and range from minimally invasive adhesive techniques to conventional fixed and removable prosthodontics, obturators and the use of dental implants. The eventual restorative outcomes are related to the initial severity of the defect and the degree of success of the previous surgical and orthodontic interventions. Clinical Relevance: This article will be of interest to clinicians, technicians, dental care professionals and other members of the team who are involved in the oral rehabilitation of cleft patients.
