Bilateral Alveolar Cleft Reconstruction Using Double Iliac Bone Blocks vs Particulate Grafting

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alveolar Cleft

In brief

This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of bilateral alveolar cleft reconstruction using double iliac corticocancellous bone block grafts versus conventional autogenous particulate bone grafting. The study will evaluate graft stability, bone volume, and postoperative complications in patients with bilateral alveolar clefts. Participants will be allocated into two groups, each receiving one of the two grafting techniques. Clinical and radiographic assessments will be performed during follow-up to determine the effectiveness and predictability of each method
