Cleft palate

Abstract

Cleft Palate and Hare Lip have always been subjects of interest to members of both medical and dental professions, though perhaps regarded by most rather as a curiosity than a study. To many general practitioners cases so rarely come that a comparison of the case is not possible. One general practitioner of twenty five years' standing tells me that he has never had one cleft palate patient. On the other hand having cases referred to me as I do, I sometimes see seven and eight different cases in one day.
