Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate Associated With Intraoral Fibrous Bands: A Report of 3 Cases and Review of Literature.

This study reports our experience in the treatment of 3 cases and includes a review of the literature. Three patients with intraoral fibrous bands received treatment and follow-ups in our center. Division of the bands and reconstruction of the lip and palate were successfully performed. All reported cases in the literature were collected for a summary of clinical presentations and as references for management. Early management of the synechia improves the mouth opening and facilitates the treatment of associated anomalies.
