THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY

Was to evaluate alveolar bone grafting success using the autograft from the mandibular body, own bone fragments and xenogeneic material.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This study was conducted by Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery (Moscow, Russia) from 2013 through 2023. Consecutive 128 patients with cleft lip/palate who underwent alveolar bone grafting by one surgeon were included. The median age at alveolar bone graft was 12.7 years (range 7—23 years). Inclusion criteria were unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and alveolus and a computed tomography (CT) scan obtained >8 months (128 patients) and 2—10 years (range 3.2 years, 52 patients) after alveolar bone grafting.

RESULTS

The success rate of surgical intervention was 92.6%. Alveolar bone graft undergoes remodeling but not lysis long-term.

CONCLUSION

Alveolar bone grafting with mandibular bone proved to be effective and has demonstrated good long-term results. The bone level in the grafted area was satisfactory with no signs of resorption.
