Cleft Palate&Craniofacial Anomalies is an approachable and easy-to-understand reference for the novice as well as the more experienced clinician involved in the care of patients with cleft palate or craniofacial anomalies. Cleft lip or palate is the fourth most common birth defect, affecting about one in every 750 children born in the United States each year. These deformities create problems in the appearance and function of the lip, palate, nose, and teeth. Difficulties in speech and hearing are almost always present as a result. Written as a resource for what you need to know as well as a practical guide on how to do it, the text covers everything from basic information on anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the face and oral cavity to details of oral, dental, and ENT anomalies and their effects on speech, resonance, and feeding.
Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies: Effects on Speech and Resonance is the only book of its kind that covers both oral and facial anomalies and cleft palate. Designed as a how-to guide for the practicing clinician, this book emphasizes what students, clinicians new to this population, and any member of a cleft palate team need to know in the workplace. It includes information on common craniofacial anomalies, associated anomalies, and genetic syndromes. Everything from basic information on anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the face and oral cavity to oral, dental, and ENT anomalies and their effects on speech, resonance, and feeding are covered. The evaluation section includes the perceptual evaluation of speech and resonance, the intraoral examination, and instrumental assessment procedures. The treatment section includes surgical procedures, prosthetic devices, and therapies designed to address speech, resonance, and velopharyngeal dysfunction. The need for multidisciplinary team assessment and treatment is also emphasized throughout.
