Abstract     The paper deals with surgical procedures in the oral cavity of children performed in connection with orthodontic treatment and speech therapy. Conditions which may lead to the development of a diastema are discussed and guidelines for its treatment are presented. Principles guiding the release of unerupted canines and removal of unerupted or impacted third molars are explained. The role of primary and secondary osteoplasty in the management of cleft lip and palate defects is presented. The author explains the indications for secondary osteoplasty, elucidating the reasons why it was never performed in Slovenia in the past and is rarely needed by children nowadays.
