Assessment of Bioabsorbable Hydroxyapatite for Secondary Bone Grafting in Unilateral Alveolar Clefts.

CONCLUSION: Compared with an autogenous bone, bioabsorbable HA/Col significantly reduces postoperative pain. In addition, the use of HA/Col alone produced the same result as an autologous bone and is effective in filling the alveolar cleft. PMID: 31422680 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
