Abstract:

An oral synechia is a fibrous or soft tissue adhesion between the maxilla and the mandible. These synechiae can appear at various locations in the oral cavity, with alveolar synechia being one of the manifestations. Alveolar synechia is a rare congenital deformity and often accompanied by additional congenital defects, such as cleft lip or palate, microglossia, micrognathia, or TMJ anomalies. Among these, cleft palate is the most common. A case of congenital alveolar synechiae with cleft palate is reported. The child is in good condition after surgical treatment. The etiology and treatment are discussed.

Key words: congenital oral synechia, congenital alveolar synechia, cleft palate
