Overview

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.
