Introduction: Cleft lip and/or cleft palate is a congenital malformation in the lip region and/ or palate, caused by the lack of closure in such structures. Severity can vary and affect the habits and the oral health related quality of life in this patients. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the quality of life in relation to oral health and socio-behavioral characteristics of patients under 7-years old with cleft lip and palate. Materials and Methods: After the approval of the ethics committee, the study was conducted at a clinic for patients with cleft lip and/or palate. A convenience sample consisted of 19 patients whose caregivers agreed to participate and answer the requested questionnaires. The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale questionnaire was applied to measure the quality of life in relation to oral health. Socioeconomic variables were collected through a specific questionnaire used in previously studies, as well as questions about fear and care for oral hygiene of children. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: Most patients belonged to the male and the average age was 3.9 years. Most caregivers reported difficulty and fear to perform oral hygiene of children and difficulty to feed them. Regarding the quality of life, a greater impact on the child than in the family was found. Conclusion: It can be concluded that patients younger than 7 years of age with clefts lip and palate may have difficulty in cleaning and feeding as well as changes in oral health related quality of life.
