Abstract

Cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is one of the most common congenital anomalies1,2 and frequently affects alveolar bone. At many institutions, the standard graft material of alveolar cleft repair (ACR) is autogenous iliac crest bone; however, bone-morphogenetic-protein 2 (BMP-2) delivered on various scaffold materials has shown to be a viable alternative with similar success rates. An alternative potential graft adjunct, fetal human umbilical cord stem cells (h-UCSC), has yet to be explored in vivo.
