520 |a Cleft lip and palate are the most common orofacial anomalies affecting the quality of life of an individual. Bilateral cleft lip and palate are the most difficult to treat due to missing premaxilla, and removable prosthesis is the only treatment in such situations to satisfy esthetics, function, and phonetics.
