"Craniofacial" refers to the area of the skull and face, encompassing the bones, tissues, and structures that make up these regions. This term is often used in medical contexts, particularly in relation to conditions that affect the development or appearance of the head and face, such as cleft lip and palate. Craniofacial specialists are healthcare professionals who focus on diagnosing and treating these conditions. They may work in various fields, including plastic surgery, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry, to provide comprehensive care for patients with craniofacial anomalies.
