Question 1 of 1
1. Question
You are a member of the craniofacial team at the local hospital. As the team dentist, you are approached by the mother of an 8-day-old baby girl. She is curious about the timing of cleft palate repair. What is the appropriate timing of treatment?
Correct
The correct answer is B. The palate repair is usually performed between 9 and 18 months of age to promote proper speech development. The babies’ first words are usually noted on average at 12 months of age. Cleft lip repair is recommended to occur when the infant is at least 10 pounds in weight, has 10 mg/dL of hemoglobin, and is at least 10 weeks of age. The recommended period of 9 to 18 months is suggested because any further delay could affect the patient’s speech development. Cleft palate repair attempts to prevent delays in speech development.
