Abstract
The secondary alveolar bone grafting is an integral component of contemporary rehabilitation of the patients with cleft lip and palate with alveolar defects. Iliac bone graft is frequent secondary graft used in the correction of alveolar defects. There is successful rehabilitation of osseous component post operatively.
Highlights
Among the many congenital birth defects, there have been more than 250 different types of facial clefting disorders described in the literature
Alveolar cleft is the least of the deformity associated with cleft palate and is always seen in combined cleft lip and palate
The intra oral approach is planned under general anaesthesia, the incision is placed to expose the alveolar defect and simultaneously the graft is harvested from the iliac crest region
Summary
Among the many congenital birth defects, there have been more than 250 different types of facial clefting disorders described in the literature. Alveolar cleft is the least of the deformity associated with cleft palate and is always seen in combined cleft lip and palate. This can be unilateral or bilateral, an isolated one or a complete one extending posteriorly. 3. The intra oral approach is planned under general anaesthesia, the incision is placed to expose the alveolar defect and simultaneously the graft is harvested from the iliac crest region. Several factors like patients age, cleft width, influence of functional stress; so platelet- rich-plasma [PRP] extracted from autologous whole blood known to have a number of different growth factors in high concentration is known to produce successful results when used for alveolar bone grafting.[8]
