Abstract

We report an infant girl with congenital alveolar adhesions and a cleft palate. The mucosal bands were resected the day after birth. Stretching exercises of the mandible improved the range of movement at the temporomandibular joint. Two weeks of therapy were required before full mouth opening was possible. Previously reported patients and theories of embryogenesis are reviewed.
