- Abstract
Our aim was to describe the early management protocol of the prominent premaxilla in bilateral cleft lip and alveolus and its rationale, as used in the Cleft Centre at the 1st Department of Pediatrics and at the Department of Pedodontics and Orthodontics at the Semmelweis University Budapest. The non-surgical and surgical procedures included lip taping, nasoalveolar molding, lip adhesion and definitive one-stage lip closure. With this treatment sequence, arch management was satisfactory and at the time of the definitive lip closure the position of the premaxilla did not interfere with adequate surgical repair.
