Alveolar Cleft Reconstruction With Cortical-Shells

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Alveolar Cleft

• Registration Number: NCT06585566
• Lead Sponsor: Beni-Suef University

Brief Summary

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.
