disorders. Speech defects that were not eliminated in childhood subsequently hinder the choice of a 
profession, interfere with work and everyday life. The relevance of studying issues related to complex 
treatment is determined by the absence of a tendency to decrease disability due to this pathology, which is 
largely due to the low level of all types of prevention and the curtailment of medical examination 
programs. To prevent this pathology, a comprehensive approach of scientists and doctors of different 
specialties is required. At the same time, the issues of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients 
with jaw deformities are one of the most difficult problems of modern surgical dentistry. The importance 
of this problem is primarily determined by the high frequency of this pathology. Conducting 
comprehensive studies of congenital anomalies of the maxillofacial region in order to prevent them and 
actively participate in this work along with doctors of various specialties (geneticists, immunologists, 
obstetricians and gynecologists, pediatricians (neonatologists), neurologists, cardiologists, psychologists, 
sociologists, environmental doctors) and dentists. This will expand the care of health protection. 
The purpose of the study. To study and improve the life status of children with congenital cleft lip and 
palate. Material and methods of research. 135 infants born with VGN were involved, of which 83 were 
male infants and 52 were female infants. The infants were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 is the main 
group of 68 infants (of which 42 are male and 26 are female) and group 2 is the control group of 66 
infants (of which 41 are male and 26 are female). Temporary silicone nipples and plates were applied to 
the main group of infants, which facilitated sucking and swallowing acts and improved speech defects, 
while traditional methods of treatment were applied to the 2nd group of infants. When performing this 
dissertation, plaster models of infants were used, clinical and anthropometric methods were used to obtain 
parameters with congenital cleft lips and palate, followed by statistical data processing. In the course of 
the study, our task was to improve the life status of children with congenital cleft lip and palate with the 
help of temporary silicone nipples and plates, as well as to determine the state of bite in children with 
congenital cleft lip and palate, depending on age; in addition, to identify the features of changes in the 
parameters of the dental system during the change of teeth in children with congenital cleft lips and palate 
before urano- and cheylorinoplasty in a comparative aspect. At the same time, to determine the early 
timing of surgical intervention in children with cleft lips and palate, to improve the life status of children 
with congenital cleft lips and palate with the help of temporary silicone plates (obturators) replenishing 
elements that facilitate sucking.
