Abstract

Cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly resulting in functional, esthetic and psychological disharmony of the patient. In infants, parents face a major problem in feeding them because of oro-nasal communication prior to any surgical intervention. In this article, various designs of passive feeding plates have been described to meet the nutritional demands of the infants. In young children, active feeding plates help in improving functioning along with the naso alveolar moulding.

Clinical Significance: This article presents various designs of passive and active feeding aids for nutritional needs of cleft lip and palate patients

Keywords:Cleft Lip; Palate; Orofacial Region
