23.Learn about cleft lip and palate, diagnosis and treatment direction

Learn about cleft lip and palate, diagnosis and treatment direction

Cleft lip and cleft palate deform the face, affecting aesthetics.  Not only that, this malformation also negatively affects the mental and physical development of the patient.

Cleft lip and cleft palate can significantly affect the ability to speak, eat and drink.  However, with today’s modern technology, you can completely diagnose early and effectively treat this defect.

Cleft lip and cleft palate affect the patient's ability to speak and appearance

Although cleft palate and cleft lip are not life-threatening, they can make it difficult for patients to eat and drink every day.  Moreover, it can affect the ability to communicate, make patients lack confidence, difficult to integrate into the community.  Children need to be diagnosed and treated properly and at the right time to ensure the best results.

1. Learn about cleft lip and cleft palate

Cleft palate affects the mental and physical development of the patient.  Parents need to be provided with adequate knowledge and good guidance so that child care will become easier.  Please read along to learn more about this anomaly in the content right below! 

1.1. What is cleft lip and cleft palate?

Cleft lip and cleft palate make the tissues of the lips or mouth appear abnormal

A condition where the tissues of the lips or mouth do not form properly during fetal development is called cleft lip and cleft palate.  A cleft lip is a condition in which the lips are open rather than closed together as usual.  Particularly, a condition where there is a gap between the nasal cavity and the roof of the mouth is called a cleft palate.  This is a birth defect that occurs during fetal development and when the baby is born.

Typically, cleft lip and cleft palate can occur on one or both sides of the mouth and come in three forms:

  • The patient has cleft palate but no cleft lip.
  • Children with cleft lips but no cleft palate.
  • The patient experienced both cleft lip and cleft palate.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common head birth defects.  Depending on the width/narrowing of the cleft, the patient may experience effects such as:

  • Facial aesthetics are affected: The slits can deform the nose, lips, jawbone, alveolar bone, misalignment, shift teeth, etc., causing the face to deform.
  • The functional activities are not good: The patient may have lisp, hearing loss, the child has difficulty eating, sucking, etc.
  • Psychologically affected negatively: Patients have low self-esteem, difficulty in integrating into the community, etc., affecting daily life and future career opportunities. 

1.2. Diagnostic measures for cleft lip and cleft palate

Pregnant women can have an ultrasound to diagnose early cleft lip defects (if any) of the fetus

Cleft lip and cleft palate are most easily recognized after birth without needing to be diagnosed through special testing.  However, we can screen and diagnose this defect earlier from the time the baby is still in the womb thanks to ultrasound.

 Mothers can perform prenatal ultrasound to see images of the development of the fetus. During an ultrasound, sound waves are used to create an image of the fetus.  The doctor can rely on ultrasound images to detect differences (if any) in the facial structure of the fetus.

 A cleft lip can be detected on ultrasound around the 13th week of pregnancy.  Particularly, cleft palate can be difficult to recognize through ultrasound images.  If a cleft palate is found, your doctor may recommend taking a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus for testing.  This is to more accurately check if the baby has a genetic syndrome that increases the risk of other birth defects. 

2. Causes of disease

Many researchers believe that the cause of cleft lip and cleft palate is transmission

Until now, the exact cause of cleft lip and cleft palate is unknown.  However, there are many studies that suggest that the cause of this malformation is a combination of environmental and genetic factors.  In it, the main role lies in the genetic factor.

If there is a family member with cleft lip and cleft palate, there is a high chance that the child will also inherit the gene that causes this defect.  In some cases, children carry genes that can cause cleft lip and cleft palate.  Then certain factors from the environment (such as maternal infection, radiation exposure during pregnancy, smoking, drinking alcohol, not providing enough vitamins…) promote this malformation to occur.

Cleft lip and cleft palate usually occur around the first 3 months of pregnancy.  Normally, during the second and third months of pregnancy, the tissues that make up the roof of the mouth and lips join together.  In fetuses with cleft lip and cleft palate, this fusion will be partial or unsuccessful, resulting in a cleft.

Most cases of cleft lip and palate in babies can be improved, helping to restore a near-normal appearance and function.  Find out about these solutions right away in the content below!

3. Treatment direction

Families need to care and take care of their children to make the process easier and more effective

The condition of cleft lip and cleft palate can be completely treated and overcome with appropriate solutions.  However, it is necessary to have good cooperation from the family and the coordination of many specialties for the most effective comprehensive treatment of people with this deformity.

The treatment process for cleft lip and cleft palate includes surgical correction of the cleft lip and palate.  A treatment plan will be given based on the specific condition of each child.  The doctor will repair the cleft first, then may continue to recommend surgery to improve speech, helping to improve facial aesthetics.  The usual surgical procedure is as follows:

Within the first 3 to 6 months, the doctor will repair the patient’s lips.

When your baby is 12 months old (or earlier depending on your child’s condition), the doctor will repair the cleft palate.

Between the ages of 2 and the end of the teen years, the patient can have a follow-up surgery.

Surgical measures to treat cleft lip and cleft palate

Surgical measures to help reshape the mouth more normal

There are many surgical options available to treat cleft lip and cleft palate.  Depending on the patient’s condition, the doctor will apply the appropriate method in the following measures:

  • Depending on the degree of deformity and the patient’s situation, the doctor will perform an appropriate procedure to help close the cup and rebuild the palate.  The doctor will make an incision on both sides of the cleft, then rearrange the muscles and tissues, repair and sew closed.
  • Lip repair: The doctor makes incisions on both sides of the cleft, creating flaps of tissue to close the separation of the lips.  The flaps and muscles of the lips are sewn together for more normal lip structure, shape and function.  At this stage, the doctor can simultaneously conduct the initial rhinoplasty for the patient if needed.
  • Reconstructive surgery: This is an additional form of surgery that helps to shape the mouth, nose and lips to improve the beauty of the face.
  • Ear tube surgery: The doctor places small tubes in the eardrum to create an opening to prevent fluid from accumulating.  This is often done to reduce the risk of chronic ear disease and hearing loss in patients with cleft lip and palate. 

With the current advanced level of medical development, cleft lip and palate can be diagnosed and treated effectively early on.  This has great significance to help patients overcome the problems caused by this deformity.  At the same time, the attention and care of the family and society will help children with this deformity have a better chance of treatment and fuller development.

phục hình răng tháo lắp
Removable teeth are made to look like real teeth

Removable dentures, also known as removable dentures, are dentures used for restoration in dentistry.  Removable teeth are designed and manufactured to perfectly fit each customer’s real teeth and arches.  This type of tooth can be easily removed / inserted without the need for dental intervention.  This makes it easier for customers to clean their oral cavity and dentures after eating.

Removable dentures consist of two main parts, the teeth and the tooth frame.  Dentures can be made of plastic or porcelain.  They will be installed directly on the denture frame to replace the lost porcelain teeth. 

Meanwhile, the tooth frame of the removable denture is made from metal, plastic, screw, etc. The tooth frame is designed to fit and hug each customer’s real jaw, which has the effect of shaping and  supporting.  The denture has a pink plastic base design that looks similar to real gums, the teeth are also the same color and shape as real teeth to ensure aesthetics.

  •  Dentures made from common plastic materials:

This type is cheap and very easy to implement, helping customers save time and money.  However, its limitation is that it is easy to touch the gums, causing discomfort, pain and can even lead to the risk of dental diseases. In addition, dentures made from plastic are often prone to loosening and falling out.  causing inconvenience when customers eat and chew.

  • Removable restorations with metal frames:

The advantage of this type of denture is that it has a long service life, compact denture size, suitable for many face shapes.  At the same time, this type of denture has the ability to improve chewing function well, firmly resting on real teeth.  However, this type of denture causes real teeth to be pulled, which can cause discomfort and pain. 

  • Method of restoring removable teeth on Implant posts:

This method helps restore chewing function, good strength like real teeth.  At the same time, the teeth are also extremely strong, beautiful and do not cause movement or deviation of the jaw when eating and drinking.  The durability of the teeth is also extremely high.  However, if you choose this method, you will have to wait a certain amount of time because of the long execution time.  In addition, this method also has a complicated implementation technique with a high cost

  • Full dentures: Made from a pink plastic base similar to real gums, with dentures (porcelain or plastic) on top that simulate the entire teeth.  To use this type of denture, you just need to cover it directly on the gums, possibly the jawbone.  Full dentures are used in case of total or multi-dental loss.
  • Partial Dentures: Can be finished with a metal frame or a flexible plastic base to help support missing teeth.  The two sides of the jaw have joints to fix the jaw.  Porcelain or plastic teeth will be installed on the tooth base.  This type of tooth is used for those who have lost one or more teeth (not all teeth).

4. Process of performing removable dental restorations

Removable dental restorations should be performed by a skilled dentist

Professional removable denture restoration process includes the following basic steps:

  • Step 1: The doctor examines and advises, makes a treatment plan suitable for each customer

First, the dentist will conduct a general examination, check the status of your oral health.  If necessary, the dentist will take X-rays to see bone density, jaw structure… for a more in-depth diagnosis.  Through that, the dentist can advise on the method of making a denture that is right for you. Customers will be thoroughly discussed the advantages and limitations of the method and the specific cost.  If you understand and agree with the treatment method and cost, the dentist will proceed to the next step.

  • Step 2: The doctor takes an impression to make a denture

 In this step, the dentist will take measurements, take impressions of the jaw frame, size and position of the missing teeth that need restoration.  After that, the data will be sent to Labo technical department.  The technicians in the Labo room manufacture removable dentures based on the data transmitted down, exactly according to the customer’s tooth sample requirements. 

  • Step 3: Install the denture on the position to be restored

 The doctor will clean the customer’s oral cavity, attach dentures to the corresponding missing teeth.  Then, the dentist will carry out recalibration if necessary to ensure the most comfort and satisfaction for the customer.

  •  Step 4: Instructions for use and home care

After the restoration, the customer can completely disassemble the denture for cleaning.  The doctor will carefully guide how to remove, clean and care for dentures to ensure long-lasting beautiful teeth.

5. Instructions for cleaning removable teeth

Customers should soak dentures in cleaning solution every day

To use the denture comfortably, improve its durability, you need to clean it properly.  Experts recommend that you remove your denture every day and then scrub it thoroughly with a brush.  This helps to clean the denture better and makes the oral cavity more comfortable and clean.  As for the remaining real teeth, you clean them as usual.

You should use a soft brush to clean the denture, wash it with salt water and soap at least 2 times a day.  However, it should be noted that absolutely do not use toothpaste to clean dentures because it can wear down your dentures.

At night, before going to bed, you should remove the denture, clean it and soak it in water mixed with vinegar at a ratio of 1:1.  Or you can apply specialized dental gel for dentures 1-2 times per day to prevent fungal growth.

Besides, you should clean your gums, rinse your mouth with mouthwash after removing dentures.  At least once a week, denture cleaning brushes should also be soaked in Clorox solution. 

After performing removable dental restorations, customers should still maintain the habit of regular dental check-ups.  This is to help check and treat promptly if you have dental disease, or have problems with dentures.  For advice and implementation of the most effective dental restoration solution, please contact a reputable dental center.

1.1 Concepts

CAD/CAM supports the design and manufacture of dentures through a computer system

Digitalization applied in dental restoration is also known as CAD/CAM technology.  CAD/CAM stands for Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacturing.

 CAD/CAM technology is currently being widely applied in many fields, and dentistry is one of them.  Besides the manufacturing process of labo, prosthetic dental products, CAD/CAM technology is also applied to the process of examination, consultation and treatment of maxillofacial teeth at large clinics and hospitals.

 Thanks to CAD/CAM technology, the tooth surface information, occlusal correlation, relationship with the jawbone….  correctly transmitted to the computer system.  Technicians (KTVs), dentists will adopt these specifications to design “virtual” restorations on a computer.  This virtual restoration is an effective alternative to hand-made wax.  Then, the technician will create a real restoration based on the model just designed.

1.2 Advantages

CAD / CAM technology helps create porcelain teeth with the same color as real teeth, more durable

The application of digital in dental restoration brings many benefits to both customers, dentists and KTV:

  • CAD / CAM technology helps to bring the results of porcelain teeth that are restored effectively, more durable, with the same color and clarity as real teeth.
  • The design of porcelain teeth is completed quickly, restoring porcelain teeth with maximum precision.
  • Technology helps dentists and customers save time trying, adjusting teeth.
  • Technicians can design and fabricate restorations easily through a computer thanks to detailed information uploaded through the function of Scanning technique.
  • Through CAD technology, technicians can design a “virtual computerized” restoration in detail.  After that, KTV can edit easily if necessary.  Next, KTV can proceed to convert this restoration to automatic production through CAM technology.  This system helps to control the raw material cutting machine to produce finished products with precision down to each micron according to the sample.
  • Digital dental restorations are applied in overcoming all defects of molars such as decayed teeth, yellowed teeth, missing teeth…
  • In addition to dentures, CAD/CAM technology is also used in manufacturing many other useful products such as bridges, crowns, veneers, etc.

1.3 CAD/CAM technology

The use of CAD/CAM technology in dental restoration is very popular in the world.  Thanks to this technology, dental lab products are rated more positively, resulting in a higher level of customer satisfaction. 

Công nghệ CAD/CAM giúp tự động hóa việc sản xuất răng giả, cầu răng, mão răng…

CAD / CAM technology helps to automate the production of dentures, bridges, crowns…

 Through the computer, CAD/CAM technology receives and processes all information of molars.  This technology consists of two parts, CAM and CAD.  In particular, CAD allows dentists to scan teeth, design and adjust restorations easily on a computer.

 Particularly, CAM is responsible for automatic control of lathes, robot arms, and raw material cutting machines for direct production on CAD samples.  Through that, the solid, raw material block will be processed into a dental restoration model with perfect accuracy and beauty.

3. Implementation process

Digital restorations save time and improve treatment results

 The digital dental restoration process consists of 3 basic steps as follows:

  •  Step 1: The doctor records the shape and details of the tooth sample

 This is the first step in the labo manufacturing process.  The machine will scan directly on the teeth or scan through the jaw sample to record the details of the tooth shape.  After that, the KTV will use a Laser Scanner to put the image into the computer to be processed and output 3D data.  The teeth will be accurately redrawn.  After that, the computer will adjust the exact touch points and bite points for the restoration design step.

  •  Step 2: Design detailed contours for “virtual” porcelain teeth on the computer

 The computer will receive the data through the scanning process in step 1. After that, the machine will process the information and design the “virtual” porcelain teeth with 3D software.

  •  Step 3: KTV proceeds to shape and perfect real porcelain teeth.

 After the 3D design on the computer is completed, the KTV will choose the appropriate porcelain ingot, tooth shape, etc.  Then, CAM technology will control the robot arm and lathe system to create the finished product, exactly as the design received.

 

 In the past, dentists often had to manually perform, plan, and outline teeth on plaster and joint brackets.  This sometimes causes the results to be erroneous and also makes it impossible to create a simulation of the treatment results for the client to preview.  The application of digital in dental restoration helps to overcome all these weaknesses.  In addition, porcelain teeth made by digital prosthetics also have high aesthetics, optical characteristics, clarity and smooth surface like real teeth.  You can contact the dental center directly for more detailed advice about this method.
