Introduction. The lip and palate cleft (LPC) is the most frequent and important congenital malformation of all facial abnormalities. Dental malocclusion is the main complication in patients with lip and palate cleft. The GOSLON analysis is an instrument developed to categorize the malocclusion group in children with cleft lip and palate, we can establish the orthodontic preventive, interceptive and corrective treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate. Objective. To identify the prevalence of the malocclusion group according to the GOSLON analysis in study models of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate who attend the orthodontic service of the HNP from 2016 to 2017. Methodology. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, having as a unit of analysis 50 models of study of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate of six to 12 years old who attend the Orthodontics Service during 2016 to 2017. We enumerated each study model and analyzed the variables including age, sex, side of the fissure and the malocclusion analysis was performed using the GOSLON analysis. Results. A prevalence of the masculine gender was found with an average of 8 years and the left side fissure with the highest occurrence. The most prevalent group of malocclusion was 4 with 48%, followed group 2 with 22%, group 3 and 5 with 14%, finding in less prevalence the group of malocclusion 1 with 2%. Conclusion. The GOSLON analysis proved to be a reliable instrument to analyze patients with unilateral FLAP, giving us a long-term prognosis and the best treatment for the correction of malocclusion problems.

The treatment and improvement of patients with bilateral lip and cleft palate (BLCP) requires multidisciplinary management, focused on providing optimal structural, functional, and aesthetic conditions so the patient can develop and achieve a better quality of life. The goal of the estomatological treatment is to help altered structures to reach a growth potential and suitable development improving results in surgical times, minimizing adverse effects. One of the treatments for nasal deformity in patients with BLCP is the uses of nasal splinting, which are attachments that work the nasal deformity using functional orthopedics; these help to: 1-avoid collapse and relapse of the nostril. 2-have more permeable airway. 3-eliminate surgical adhesions by secretions or contraction of healing. The aim of this review is present the case of a Female patient of 9-year-old with bilateral lip and cleft palate (BLCP), that presents nasal anomalies, like low nasal tip projection that use nasal retainer as a postoperative brace to improve the structural, functional and esthetic soft tissue deficiencies.
