摘要：The most severe form of congenital anomalies which affect the oral cavity and other related structures are the cleft lip and palate. An abnormal congenital space or gap in the upper lip, alveolus, or palate is known as cleft. There are various combinations in which the cleft lip and the cleft palate can occur. The clefts of the lip and palate can be found isolated or together in. The treatment of cleft lip and palate should be started right after birth. Treatment for cleft children requires a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of cleft patients who have reported to the cleft surgery after one year of age. Materials and Methods: The study was done in a hospital setting, the data was collected from the patient software system of Saveetha dental College and the samples included cleft patients who underwent surgery for cleft lip and cleft palate. The data was analysed using the chi Square test. Results: The correlation between the age group and the treatment done, it is evident that most of the patients have undergone cleft palate surgery after one year of age (41.5%) and only about 9.4% of patients have undergone cleft palate surgery before one year of age, and in relation to cleft lip surgery 38.5% of patients have undergone cleft lip surgery before one year of age and only 13.6 % of patients have undergone cleft lip surgery after one year of age.
