  2. Cleft lip and cleft palate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleft_lip_and_cleft_palate

    Submucous cleft palate can also occur, which is a cleft of the soft palate with a split uvula, a furrow along the midline of the soft palate, and a notch in the back margin of the hard palate. [12] The diagnosis of submucous cleft palate often occurs late in children as a result of the nature of the cleft. [13]

    A cleft lip is an opening of the upper lip, mainly due to the failure of fusion of the medial nasal processes with the palatal processes; a cleft palate is the opening of the soft and hard palate in the mouth, which is due to the failure of the palatal shelves to fuse together. [10]

  4. Incisive foramen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incisive_foramen

    In the human mouth, the incisive foramen (also known as: "anterior palatine foramen", or "nasopalatine foramen") is the opening of the incisive canals on the hard palate immediately behind the incisor teeth. It gives passage to blood vessels and nerves. The incisive foramen is situated within the incisive fossa of the maxilla.

  5. Classification of cleft lip and cleft palate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_cleft...

    Veau-IV cleft palate: A cleft of the velum (soft palate), extending in the midline through the secondary hard palate up to the incisive foramen and then bilaterally through the primary hard palate and alveolus on each side. The vomer (the bony part of the nasal septum) remains in the midline and is attached to the premaxilla.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw_abnormality

    Clinically, cleft palate presents as opening in the palate that can affect the front palate only or extending from the front to the back palate. [47] Cleft lip is presented clinically with opening of the upper lip which can be a small slit on the upper lip or large opening connected to the nose. [47] The cleft can be unilateral on the upper lip ...

  7. Secondary palate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_palate

    The secondary palate is an anatomical structure that divides the nasal cavity from the oral cavity in many vertebrates. In human embryology , it refers to that portion of the hard palate that is formed by the growth of the two palatine shelves medially and their mutual fusion in the midline.

  8. Malocclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malocclusion

    Malocclusion can occur in primary and secondary dentition. In primary dentition malocclusion is caused by: Underdevelopment of the dentoalvelor tissue. Over development of bones around the mouth. Cleft lip and palate. Overcrowding of teeth. Abnormal development and growth of teeth. In secondary dentition malocclusion is caused by: Periodontal ...

  9. Secondary palate development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_palate_development

    The shelves will also fuse anteriorly upon the primary palate, with the incisive foramen being the landmark between the primary palate and secondary palate. This forms what is known as the roof of the mouth, or the hard palate. The formation and development of the secondary palate occurs through signalling molecules SHH, BMP-2, FGF-8, among others.
