Abstract
Cleft lip and palate is a commonly observed congenital maxillofacial defect. Prosthodontics intervention is usually required after incomplete or complete surgical closure of the defect. The final option of treatment mainly depends on the existing clinical condition and patient’s acceptance towards the treatment. In this case report, the patient was treated with a fixed partial denture and a removable, flexible gingival epithesis. This clinical report describes a conservative and cost effective method of rehabilitation of such type of defect.
