Pre-Conference Symposium I

Monday, April 23 and Tuesday, April 24, 2007

“The Childhood Years: The Inter-Face and Inner-Facts of Management”

This symposium is the second in a three-part series designed to address key and controversial areas of cleft management. The theme of the symposium, “Inter-Face and Inner-Facts of Management”, derives from the initiation, development and interaction of the many areas - psychological, educational and social adjustments, speech, dental, and functional and aesthetic concerns of the orofacial region, which come to bear in childhood.

Because of the importance and dynamics of well-being during the early developmental years, the first part of the symposium will be devoted to a comprehensive review of psychological and social issues for the child. The attendee will gain more understanding of and appreciation for these key areas of health in children (with clefts) who may be at risk. Psychological well-being impacts at every step in cleft care.

Speech development is well underway in this age group and there is great need for comprehensive evaluation techniques and treatment stratagems, both surgical and nonsurgical. These issues will be thoroughly presented from a critical and analytical perspective.

Management of sino-nasal disease is very important, as this is common in children with clefts. Functional and aesthetic concerns of the orofacial region become foremost to many school-aged children; timing and techniques will be discussed by experts in otolaryngology and plastic surgery. Revision surgery of the nose, lip and palate will be presented with a focus on preventive measures, helpful techniques, and on research, which looks at results.

The last part of the symposium will address key areas of dental care, orthodontic management and alveolar defect repair. In particular, the timing of osseous repair, the role of distraction, implant placement and dental aesthetics will be thoroughly presented and based on research.

The symposium attendee will gain a greater insight into and appreciation for the interaction of all of these disciplines and the implementation of these contemporary management schemes into cleft care during the early school-age years.
