Article
Cleft lip and palate is the most common craniofacial malformation with a reported worldwide incidence of 1.7 per 1000 live births.2 While the severity of each individual cleft can vary, the principles behind the treatment are the same. In the United Kingdom, primary lip repair is undertaken at around 3 months of age, with affected palates undergoing primary repair at approximately 9 months.
Ectopic teeth are not uncommon in patients who have cleft lip and palate. In the general population, the ectopic development of teeth has been reported in a number of locations around the oral cavity including the palate,3 maxillary sinus,4 condyle,5 coronoid process,6 orbital floor7 and nasal cavity.8
