Clinical Application of Artificial Intelligence in New Borns With Cleft Lip and Palate

A removable passive orthopedic plate designed using an AI-assisted digital workflow based on intraoral scan data. The design process is automated via a Blender-based software plugin that identifies anatomical landmarks and generates a custom-fit plate. The plate is 3D printed using biocompatible material and fitted shortly after birth. It is worn continuously until primary surgical repair, typically around 4 months of age. The intervention aims to reduce cleft width prior to surgery without requiring traditional impressions or extensive manual design effort.
