Description
Book SynopsisThis book the successor to
Advances in the Management of Cleft Palate edited by Margaret Edwards and Tony Watson and published in 1980 but it is different enough for its publishers and editors to feel that its name should be changed.

There are an increased number of chapters and the contributors represent a wider range of professions associated with the care of cleft lip and palate.
