Official title
Evaluation of Secondary Alveolar Cleft Reconstruction With Labial and Palatal Retromolar Cortical-Shells (A Case Series Study)
Overview
The main goal of the secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) for alveolar clefts is the rehabilitation of the disorganized maxilla, aiming to stabilize the maxillary foundation as a solid functional mass that would abort growth disturbance, allow for teeth eruption, and enhance their orthodontic movements. The study evaluates the outcomes of a ( SABG) technique that utilizes the retromolar cortical shell technique to reconstruct the alveolar clefts.
Interventions
- Procedure Cortical-shell graft
Retromolar cortical shell graft technique for SABG
Primary outcome measures
- Horizontal bone width [Time frame: 6 months consolidation period]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Vertical bone level [Time frame: 6 months consolidation period]
- Bone density [Time frame: 6 months consolidation period]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Patients of both sexes with an age range of (eight to fifteen years), with unilateral maxillary alveolar cleft.
- good oral hygiene and general good health
Exclusion criteria
- The evidence of clinical or radiographic signs of local maxillary pathosis or palatal fistulae.
- Those patients with bilateral alveolar clefts, cleft-associated syndromes, and those with a systemic disease that would affect either bone harvest or graft healing.
- A history of previous failed alveolar cleft reconstruction.
