Authors: Siniša Franjić
Publication Year: 2026
Abstract
The challenges linked to cleft lip and palate encompass both aesthetic and functional issues, with the potential for severe health risks. While cleft palate is more prevalent, cleft lip can also pose concerns beyond just cosmetic appearance. This condition arises during the stage when the embryo forms, resulting in these anatomical features remaining distinct from one another.
