The objective of the protocol is to establish a functional and patient-friendly prosthetic structure for individuals with unilateral\/bilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP\/BCLP) while minimising the requirement for specialised follow-up care in the cleft unit. The study data were obtained from a retrospective cohort at Helsinki University Hospital. Prosthetic reconstructions were performed using CAD\/CAM bar structures by the Atlantis 2in1 system or Createch removable telescope structures, supported by four to eight maxillary dental implants. Out of the nine patients, seven experienced no complications. One prosthesis fracture occurred after 16 months due to a design error in the original framework, and one patient experienced failure of osseointegration in a dental fixture (specifically, one fixture out of the eight maxillary implants in this patient). In total, 56 implants were successfully placed. The maxillary dentition of elderly patients with cleft lip and palate often poses challenges due to periodontal and reconstructive issues. An implant-supported CAD\/CAM bar with a removable telescope suprastructure offers an easily maintained and functional solution for dental rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj11090212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]],"date-time":"2023-09-11T09:05:17Z","timestamp":1694423117000},"page":"212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Use of Individually Designed CAD\/CAM Suprastructures for Dental Reconstruction in Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4881-8170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pilvi","family":"M\u00e4ntynen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"P\u00e4ij\u00e4t-H\u00e4me Joint Authority for Health and Wellbeing, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Lahti Central Hospital, 15850 Lahti, Finland"},{"name":"Clinicum, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, 00014 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa","family":"Laurila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"P\u00e4ij\u00e4t-H\u00e4me Joint Authority for Health and Wellbeing, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Lahti Central Hospital, 15850 Lahti, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1333-5937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tommi","family":"Strausz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland, Helsinki Institute of Life Science, University of Helsinki, 00014 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jari","family":"Mauno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Centre, Department of Plastic Surgery, HUS Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, 00029 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junnu","family":"Leikola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Centre, Department of Plastic Surgery, HUS Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, 00029 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2361-5134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juho","family":"Suojanen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"P\u00e4ij\u00e4t-H\u00e4me Joint Authority for Health and Wellbeing, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Lahti Central Hospital, 15850 Lahti, Finland"},{"name":"Clinicum, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, 00014 Helsinki, Finland"},{"name":"Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Centre, Department of Plastic Surgery, HUS Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, 00029 Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"69","article-title":"Dental anomalies associated with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate","volume":"79","author":"Qureshi","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
