Abstract

Pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding device (PNAM) is a prosthetic appliance designed to minimize the size of cleft of the hard palate and assist in feeding milk. PNAM is most successful during 3-4 months of life before the cartilages lose their pliability. This case report briefly attempts to describe the Fabrication of PNAM appliance with clear-auto polymerizing resin for 3-months old infant and the simple impression technique to record cleft lip and palate defect (CLP).

Keywords:Cleft Lip and Palate; Pre-Surgical Nasoalveolar Molding (PNAM); Impression Procedure; Infant Orthopedics; Clear Auto Polymerizing Resin; Maxillofacial Defects
