A Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Prof. Olugbenga Ogunlewe, has listed genetic abnormality, environmental factor and malnutrition as some of the causes of cleft palate.
She said, “The causes of cleft and lip palate are not fully understood but there is a basic knowledge as to what causes cleft and it is multi-factorial. The main thing is that there is a genetic abnormality and there are also environmental factors, that is what the mother is exposed to during pregnancy, radiation, lack of certain food nutrition and then the genetic aspect too has to be there. So, those are the causes of cleft palate.
“Smile Train has been supporting us with cleft care services for some years and we have seen that we have made some improvement in the care of patients but we observed that not all the centers are at the same level in terms of cleft care.
