Abstract :
Infants with cleft palate (CP) have several problems, one of which is feeding, preventing the infant from maintaining ade-quate nutrition. Use of a feeding plate, consisting of a special bottle and nipple, has been described to overcome this prob-lem. This article describes the steps of constructing a single-visit feeding plate for a CP infant. The main objective was to provide an infant with a properly functioning feeding prosthesis and to reduce the parents’ anxiety originating from multiple dental visits. We can conclude that our feeding plate successfully achieved the planned objectives
