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.
