Abstract
This case report describes the successful application of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) in the treatment of a neonate with Veau's class III cleft lip and palate of the left side. PNAM, a noninvasive method, effectively reduced the cleft deformity (from 10 mm pretreatment to 1 mm post-NAM), improved nasal esthetics, and minimized the need for extensive surgical interventions and better surgical outcomes. The treatment involved precise impression procedures, custom-made appliances, and weekly modifications to achieve optimal results. The comprehensive approach resulted in favorable esthetic outcomes, reduced scar formation, and improved lip symmetry, demonstrating the potential of PNAM as a valuable adjunctive therapy in cleft lip and palate management.
