Management of alveolar cleft Bone grafting: State of the art

摘要: Abstract Overview: Bone grafting of the alveolus is an essential step in reconstruction orofacial cleft deformity. Secondary with iliac marrow consistently produces trabecular bone to unify maxilla and provide odontogenic support. It requires preoperative maxillary alignment, well designed mucoperiosteal flaps, good oral hygiene be optimally successful. Its high success rate currently makes it preferred approach at most centers. Primary rib results a unified maxilla, eliminates oronasal fistula, does not adversely affect midfacial growth. assists preventing segmental collapse, particularly bilateral patient. Whether can produce enough alveolar support long-term needs awaits further clinical documentation limited numbers centers that routinely perform this procedure.
