    Study Notes

    • Maxillary defects can be congenital or acquired.
    • Congenital defects include cleft lip and cleft palate.
    • Other congenital defects are treated using the same principles as cleft lip/palate cases.
    • Aetiology of congenital defects includes infections, drugs, poor diet, hormonal imbalance, and genetic factors.
    • Cleft lip with or without cleft palate occurs in a ratio of 1:1000 and is twice as common in males.
    • Unilateral cleft lip is more common on the left side.
    • Clefts can be classified into three types based on the extent of the defect.
    • Class I includes cleft lip with cleft alveolus (primary palate).
    • Class II includes cleft of hard and soft palate (secondary palate).
    • Class III is a combination of Class I and II.
