Dental clefts are congenital gaps or splits that occur in the structures of the mouth, particularly affecting the alveolar ridge (the gum area that holds the teeth). They are usually associated with conditions like Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate.

Key Characteristics

Gap in the Alveolar Ridge: The bone that supports the teeth does not form completely, creating a cleft or separation.

Missing or Misaligned Teeth: Teeth near the cleft area may be missing, extra, delayed in eruption, or positioned incorrectly.

Causes

Nutritional deficiencies

Certain medications or maternal health conditions

Effects

Dental clefts can lead to:

Difficulty in chewing and speaking

Dental alignment problems

Treatment

Bone grafting to repair the alveolar ridge

Regular dental care and monitoring
