Introduction. Cleft lip and cleft palate are relatively common congenital deformities. Patients with clefts require multidisciplinary treatment approach and a team which may include a maxillofacial surgeon, orthodontist, speech therapist, pediatrician, prosthetician, psychologist, as well as the relevant experts who may be of help in restoring the function of the orofacial system.

Conclusion. Well planned prosthetic treatment of adult patients with cleft palate and total edentulousness can produce satisfactory results in view of both function and esthetics.
