Long-Term Analysis of Secondary Bone Grafting in 79 Cleft Lip and Palate Patients By Cone Beam Commuted Tomography

Evaluating the outcomes of the alveolar bone grafting procedures in patients has been challenging for a multitude of reasons, including the limited number of patients, their demographic heterogeneity and complex anatomy, and differences in treatment protocols at various institutions. The purpose of this study was to use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) analysis to evaluate the long-term radiographic outcomes of anterior iliac crest bone grafting (AICBG) on cleft lip patients who had an associated alveolar cleft with the aim to discover patient or clinical factors that influence the long-term radiographic success of the surgically repaired cleft sites.
