Impression techniques in neonates with cleft lip and palate : An illustrative case series and narrative review.
An illustrative case series depicting various impression techniques used for fabrication of a feeding plate in neonates along with a narrative review of impression techniques used over the years to date in neonates with cleft lip and palate.

Abstract
One of the most significant challenges in infants born with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is inadequate feeding, which can be remedied with the use of a feeding plate. However, the creation of a feeding plate involves a crucial component known as the impression procedure, which presents a number of challenges. Hence, this case series and narrative review outlines three distinct cases depicting various methods for obtaining accurate impressions in newborns with CLP, while also emphasizing on the importance of patient positioning, impression tray selection, and impression material choice. Additionally, it delves into the complexities of newborns born with CLP and the difficulties that infants with this condition may encounter. Potential complications during the impression-making process are also discussed, alongside their corresponding management strategies.
