The aim of the study was to assess tongue position and function in cleft lip and palate children in order to use them for ultrasound prenatal diagnostics of this malformation. The study included 258 cleft lip and palate patients, as well as 2078 pregnant women (20-22 gestation weeks). The ultrasound scans of 39 cleft palate fetuses were evaluated retrospectively. All cleft palate patients exhibited tongue configuration disorder, tongue asymmetry, low tip and high dorsum position. These signs may be useful for prenatal cleft palate diagnostics which fact is proved by assessment of ultrasound pictures of cleft palate pictures including that of 8 patients revealed prospectively.

Introduction: Alveolar cleft grafting is crucial in cleft lip and palate rehabilitation, promoting maxillary continuity and facilitating dental development. While autologous bone grafts are the gold standard, combining them with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and xenografts like Bio-Oss has the potential to enhance bone regeneration and long-term stability. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combining autologous cortico-cancellous bone grafts, PRP, and Bio-Oss in alveolar cleft repair.

Hypoplasia of the upper jaw to one degree or another inevitably occurs in patients with cleft lip and palate. The most difficult task is to fix skeletal deformity of the upper jaw, especially the discrepancy between its transversal dimensions due to the high risks of recurrence after treatment. One of the key stages of rehabilitation of this group of patients is orthodontics and surgical treatment aimed at eliminating functional and aesthetic problems of the dental system.

Prenatal diagnosis is a crucial tool in reducing birth defects. Research indicates that whole-exome sequencing (WES) is particularly effective for detecting abnormalities associated with structural ultrasound findings. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of WES in the genetic diagnosis of prenatal ultrasound abnormalities.

Background And Objectives: Serous otitis media (SOM), also called otitis media with effusion (OME) or glue ear, is a collection of non-purulent fluid within the middle ear space. Children with cleft palate are more prone to develop this condition. This is caused by impaired eustachian tube function in cleft palate.
