Anatomy and Physiology:
In order to understand about cleft lip and palate we must know the complete anatomy and physiology of cleft i.e. we must know what is cleft? What is the normal and abnormal anatomy?, what are the factors that causing clefts? Etc.
As the number of children’s with cleft lip and palate increasingly day by day that's why there is a critical need of effective and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of person's suffering from cleft lip and palate.
1. Hard palate:
In simple words we can say that hard palate is a bony part of the roof of the mouth. We cannot see the bones because it is covered by the mucosa ( moist , pink tissue covering the body parts ). When you open your mouth you can see the hard palate which is present in front of your mouth. Hard palate is made up of processes of maxilla and the horizontal plates of the palatine bones. It is bounded:
• Anteriorly and Laterally : alveolar arches or maxillary teeth
• Superiorly : respiratory epithelium of nasal cavity
• Inferiorly : masticatory epithelium of oral cavity
• Posteriorly : connected to the soft palate
Blood supply of hard palate is mainly from greater palatine artery and nerve supply is via tha anterior palatine and nasopalatine nerves. [2] 2. Soft palate :
It also known as " Velum palatinum ". Posteriorly hard palate …show more content…

This tube makes a communication between the naso-pharynx and the tympanic cavity. In adults, its length is about 36mm forming an angle of 45 degree. On the other surface of eustachian tube, small cilia like structures are present that are responsible for the drainage of mucous secretions from the middle ear to the pharynx. The main aim or function of eustachian tube is to ventilate the middle ear and equalizes the pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane (drum). Three muscles are attached to the eustachian tube. These are Tensor veli palatini, Levator veli palatini and

This leaves a hole between the nose and mouth. Cleft lip and palate are not contagious, it is usually a genetic malformation. This happens during our development in the womb where everyone has a clefts. The appearances of the face are separated, but as we mature throughout the pregnancy the face comes together and finally seals itself.

The chin or mandibular symphysis can be analyzed by looking at the profile of the mandibule. The shape of dental arcade can be determined by looking at the skull from a ventral view and analyzing the shape that the upper teeth generate. The dentition can be determined by analyzing the size of the overall teeth with the size of the overall facial size. Finally, the retromolar space can be identified by evaluating the space between the last molar and the rest of the

Assessment Because the diagnostic criteria for CAS is not firmly established the challenge in diagnosis and assessment becomes differentiating CAS from other speech sound disorders such as speech delay and dysarthria and specific language impairment (SLI) (Lewis et al., 2004). Many other speech sound disorders show similar signs as those in children with CAS (McCabe, Rosenthal, & McLeod, 1998). Children suspected of having CAS are referred to a speech-language pathologist for a comprehensive assessment. Comprehensive assessment utilizes a number of activities and measures including formal, informal assessment tools.

Pharynx The pharynx is the passageway between the mouth and the esophagus and is shared with the respiratory tract. The epiglottis is a cartilaginous flap that closes the opening to the larynx when food is being swallowed down the pharynx. Food is deflected away from the trachea to prevent particle aspiration (inhalation).

Cerebral Palsy is caused by brain injuries or brain malformation that occurs before during or after birth that affects the brain's development. There are many ways to prevent Cerebral Palsy according to which category it falls into. There are three categories, congenital, acquired and genetic predisposition. Congenital cases are the result of brain damage before the child is born and often happens because of birth complications. It can be acquired in multiple ways such as having a stroke or being in a car accident and it may also be the effect of shaken-baby-syndrome, it can also happen because of an infection or condition that slows down the blood flow to the brain.

Cortical bones, also known as compact bones, form the hard-external layer of all bones that helps protect and strengthen the medullary cavity, which is filled with bone marrow. Within the cortical bones are lamellae called osteons. Osteons are aligned in the same direction along lines of stress, which hold the bone’s blood vessels and nerve fibers. These bones primarily help to resist bending and fracturing. Trabecular bones, also known as spongy bones, form the inner layer of all bones that helps to reduce the density of bones allowing the ends of long bones to compress when subject to stress.

During the development of the mouth palate, two palate formations can be differentiated, namely the Primary palate and the Secondary palate. The purpose of the palates is to provide a division between the oral and the nasal cavities. Primary palate: Between the embryological period of week six and seven, formation of the primary palate takes place. The primary palate develops due to the merging of the medial and lateral nasal prominences with each other, and then the merging of the maxillary and the medial nasal prominences which pinches an epithelium layer which gives rise to the superior nasal epithelium and the inferior oral epithelium. The core of the primary palate is formed by the two epithelium layers mentioned above.
