Abstract
Depending on the amount of gap in cleft lip and palate patients there are different treatment options. If lateral incisors are missing and the cleft is small a bone grafting from the iliac crest is the method of choice. The canine thus has the possibility to erupt and come into the position of the missing lateral incisor. If the cleft is too broad this treatment often fails. In these cases the following options are possible: The osteogenesis in these cases allows delivery of better situations for further treatment and will perhaps be the future in terms of handling difficult cases.
