Cleft lip

Cleft lip is a common congenital deformity of the oral and maxillofacial region, with an incidence of about 1: 1000. Normal fetuses, after the fifth week, begin to gradually merge with each other to form a face, and deformities can occur if they fail to develop normally, including cleft lip.
