		Isolated cleft palate, without cleft lip, may include all of the hard palate posterior to the incisive foramen and the soft palate; it may involve only a small portion of the posterior part of the soft palate; or it may between these two extremes.

		The primary palate is anterior to the incisive foramen, and the secondary palate is posterior to the foramen.
		The blood supply to the palate is derived form the internal maxillary artery: the greater palatine supplies the hard palate, and the lesser palatine the soft palate.
		In cleft palate, the levator attaches anteriorly to the hard palate and often is hypoplastic, and the tensor may end at the hamulus, or insert into the lateral velum.

		Defects (clefts) in the hard palate that forms the roof of the mouth, or the soft palate which lies caudally and separates the oropharynx from the nasopharynx may be congenital or acquired.
		Congenital cleft palate is an abnormality which is thought to occur during fusion of the maxillary process with the medial nasal process, when the mesodermal fusion develops across the fused epithelial surfaces.
		If both the hard palate and soft palate are involved the hard palate should be closed first, followed by the soft palate.
