Abstract

Cleft lip and palate are common congenital defects with multifactorial complex etiology characterized by complete or incomplete cleft of lip, alveolus, and hard and soft palate. In infants, the main problem lies in the difficulty of suckling with frequent nasal regurgitation leading to respiratory and middle ear infections. This article presents a case report of an 8-day-old female with complete cleft of hard and soft palate who was given a novel self-retentive type feeding obturator. This obturator eliminated the need for supplementary aids to help in retention and has a simple design, is cost-effective, and easy to use.
