Background: Cleft lip and palate is a congenital abnormality that occurs early in during embryonic development. This disorder can cause speech, hearing, malnutrition and mental and social development disorders. The prevalence of cleft lip and palate in the world varies greatly, with the highest incidence rate in Asia.
Purpose: This research aims to determine the characteristics of patients with cleft lip and palate during the community services in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2018.
Methods: The type of research is descriptive research with a population of 48 patients who attended the community service event for cleft lip and palate surgery. Patient data characteristics were grouped based on age, gender, and cleft lip and palate type.
Results: The distribution of patients with cleft palate was mostly aged 0-5 years (47%), the gender was the same between men and women (50%), and the most common type of cleft palate was cleft of the anterior (primary) palate (54%).
Conclusion: Understanding cleft lip and palate patients in East Nusa Tenggara helps determine incidence rates and risk factors. This helps in customizing services, facilitating educational efforts, and involving the local government for effective community support.
