Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates a technique for secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) aimed at rehabilitating the maxilla in patients with unilateral alveolar clefts. The approach utilizes a retromolar cortical shell graft to stabilize the maxillary foundation, facilitating tooth eruption and orthodontic movements. The study focuses on patients aged 8 to 15 years who meet specific health criteria and excludes those with certain complications or previous reconstruction failures.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

2. Those patients with bilateral alveolar clefts, cleft-associated syndromes, and those with a systemic disease that would affect either bone harvest or graft healing.
