if there were abnormal development of the cheek?
There are various reasons for abnormalities in the development of various organs or parts of the body. These abnormalities may be apparent quickly or, in some cases, may be detected after quite some time. The abnormalities may be developed due to a combination of genetic or environmental factors.
The assessment of these risk factors and early intervention if possible, during or before gestation, is vital in preventing these types of disorders in the population. Counselling and the genetic history of the family plays an important role in this case. As in the case of environmental factors, avoiding certain conditions or substances that can have a teratogenic effect (where certain substances called teratogens prevent proper growth of the fetus and cause abnormalities) is necessary.
