Abstract

Abstract: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is the most common disorder in the oral, and maxillofacial region, which significantly affects the appearance and function of the oral system in infants. Complete cleft lip and palate (CCLP) is one of the most severe phenotypes of CL/P. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is an important part of the sequence of treatments for infants with cleft lip and palate and is currently a crucial technique adopted for presurgical orthodontic treatment in infants with unilateral or bilateral CCLP. PNAM can reshape the nose, alveolar bones, and lips to a certain extent and creates the conditions for surgical repair, reduces surgical complexity, and improves postoperative aesthetic outcomes. With the advancements in computer technology, computer- aided design, and 3D printing technology have been gradually introduced into the treatment of PNAM in infants with cleft lip and palate. Here, we summarize the recent research progress in the digital application of PNAM in infants with cleft palate and lip.

Key words: Infants preoperative nasoalveolar molding, Cleft lip and palate, Digitalize, Research progress, 3D printing technology
