The Effect of Autologous Alveolar Bone Grafting on Nasolabial Asymmetry in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate

Effect of alveolar bone grafting on nasal morphology, symmetry, and nostril shape of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate nasal morphology, symmetry, and nostril shape in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate following mixed-dentition alveolar bone grafting. DESIGN Prospective stereophotogrammetric study. SETTING Hospital-based. PATIENTS Thirty-nine patients with a history of repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate who received an iliac crest alveolar bone graft were recruited ...

Correlations between initial cleft size and dental anomalies in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients after alveolar bone grafting

Objective To determine in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate the correlation between initial cleft size and dental anomalies, and the outcome of alveolar bone grafting. Methods A total of 67 consecutive patients with non-syndromic unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) were included from the cleft lip and palate-craniofacial center, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Al...

Cone beam computed tomography in the assessment of alveolar bone grafting in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

OBJECTIVES To quantify the treatment outcome of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to reveal needs for improvement in surgical technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS CBCT images taken 6 months after SABG of 35 patients were analysed. Vertical and horizontal bone supports of the grafted bone at thr...

Alveolar Bone Defect and Secondary Bone Grafting Outcome in Cleft Lip/Palate Patients

Background: Current evidence on factors influencing the outcome of Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting (SABG) in cleft lip/palate patients is ambiguous and further deliberations are required to provide solid proof on prognostic criteria. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the changes brought about by SABG in cleft depth and alveolar bone support of teeth in the vicinity of ...
