Abstract
We describe our experience with various silicone materials for making one-step and two-step impressions of the cleft-lip-palate-nose complex during nasoalveolar moulding. Our technique is superior to common alginate-based impression techniques, as it provides precise reproduction of the complex anatomy of the cleft, and is compatible with the latest available methods of planning treatment with nasoalveolar moulding, such as computer-aided reverse engineering and rapid prototyping.
