Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the parents\' attitude and their perception regarding the management of orofacial cleft (OFC) children with presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM), DynaCleft and/or feeding obturators.
METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive and observational retrospective survey-based study was conducted among parents of OFC children treated with PNAM, DynaCleft and/or feeding obturators who attended a primary dental health care center in Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia, from 2019 to 2023. A validated questionnaire was used after translating it from English to Arabic. The questionnaire consisted of 32 questions divided into two sections. The first section covers parents\' sociodemographic data and OFC risk factors. The second section evaluates the parents\' perception regarding the use of presurgical orthopedics (PSO) for OFC repair. The questionnaire was completed through telephone interviews carried out by two investigators with the parents of OFC children.
RESULTS: Out of 142 parents of OFC children, only 40 parents and their children met the inclusion criteria of the study. Most parents (95%) reported their satisfaction with the treatment and stated that they would encourage other parents of OFC children to use PSO.
CONCLUSIONS: This study concluded that parents of OFC children had a positive attitude toward PSO treatment. Based on the positive outcomes of PSO treatment reported in the current study and previous literature, PSO should be considered as a routine treatment in the early management of orofacial clefts.

摘要：
目的：本研究旨在评估父母对口面部裂（OFC）患儿术前鼻肺泡成型（PNAM）治疗的态度和看法。DynaCleft和/或喂食闭塞器。
方法：横截面，在接受PNAM治疗的OFC儿童的父母中进行了描述性和观察性回顾性调查研究，在Al-Madinah的初级牙科保健中心就诊的DynaCleft和/或喂食闭塞器，沙特阿拉伯,从2019年到2023年。在将其从英语翻译为阿拉伯语后，使用了经过验证的问卷。问卷由32个问题组成，分为两个部分。第一部分涵盖父母的社会人口统计数据和OFC风险因素。第二部分评估父母对使用术前骨科（PSO）进行OFC修复的看法。问卷是通过两名调查人员与OFC儿童的父母进行的电话采访完成的。
结果：在OFC儿童的142名父母中，只有40名父母及其子女符合研究纳入标准.大多数父母（95％）对治疗感到满意，并表示他们将鼓励OFC儿童的其他父母使用PSO。
结论：这项研究得出结论，OFC儿童的父母对PSO治疗持积极态度。基于当前研究和以前文献中报道的PSO治疗的积极结果，PSO应被视为口面裂痕早期治疗的常规治疗方法。
