The author develops the text in a logical manner and not only outlines the treatment but also nicely reviews the background for much of the care presented…. The references are extensive and assist both the student and advanced specialist in further review of any topic. The authors have effectively utilized many line drawings and colored plates to describe not only treatment outcomes but also techniques and laboratory procedures. In summary, the book has many strong points and few weak ones, and is written in a comprehensive manner for students and advanced specialists alike.

…The author has deliberately chosen to limit his discussions to the care of cleft lip and palate patients. He has succeeded in producing a text that at once gives an overview of cleft patient care in general and gives practical information regarding the procedures that general dentists and prosthodontists may be required to perform.
