Nasoalveolar cysts are rare developmental, non-odontogenic soft tissue lesions present in the submucosal area of the nasal alar region of the face. The management of nasoalveolar cyst is surgical excision or enucleation by sublabial approach. Most of the times surgeon finds difficult in complete removal of cyst wall especially in the infected cases. We have introduced a technique of cryo probe destruction of the epithelial remnants of the cystic wall after routine surgical excision. The results are encouraging.

This case report details the successful application of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) in a 4-day-old neonate with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, showcasing a comprehensive treatment approach involving presurgical NAM and subsequent surgical repair. The NAM technique, pioneered by Barry H. Grayson, utilizes a specialized appliance to shape the alveolar ridge and nasal cartilage concurrently.

Background: The main goal of the nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is to mitigate the initial severity of the cleft, facilitating the subsequent surgical procedures. Nevertheless, the use of the appliance entails high stress levels for families.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions, attitudes, and opinions of parents whose cleft-affected children underwent treatment using the NAM technique.

Objective: To evaluate the extent of naso-alveolar molding (NAM) in pushing the premaxilla posteriorly in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP).
Background: Naso-alveolar molding application in cleft lip and palate cases bridges the cleft gap and increases nasal tip projection. In BCLP, NAM potentially mobilizes the premaxilla posteriorly to allow tension-free primary lip closure.

Unlabelled: This case report describes the successful application of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) in the treatment of a neonate with Veau's class III cleft lip and palate of the left side. PNAM, a noninvasive method, effectively reduced the cleft deformity (from 10 mm pretreatment to 1 mm post-NAM), improved nasal esthetics, and minimized the need for extensive surgical interventions and better surgical outcomes. The treatment involved precise impression procedures, custom-made appliances, and weekly modifications to achieve optimal results.
