Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While there have been significant advancements in medical and dental technologies in recent years, the application of advanced technology in cleft lip and palate (CLP) management continues to encounter several challenges and limitations, particularly in children and newborns. The need for specialized equipment, the application of digital technology and advanced surgical/non-surgical techniques, and the introduction of innovative protocols are some of the domains that require further exploration. Continued research and innovation are essential to overcoming the challenges encountered in the management and advancement of surgical and orthodontic care in CLP children.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in digital technology and innovative protocols that may revolutionize CLP management in the treatment of children with cleft lip and palate, offering more precise orthodontic, orthopedic, and surgical outcomes and enhanced patient care. From novel orthodontic and surgical techniques to virtual rehabilitation programs, this Special Issue aims to showcase the transformative potential of digital technology and innovative clinical protocols in enhancing the outcomes and quality of life for children and infants with cleft lip and palate.
