What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a surgical technique called secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) for children aged 8 to 15 years with unilateral maxillary alveolar clefts. The goal is to stabilize the upper jaw by reconstructing the alveolar cleft to promote proper growth, tooth eruption, and orthodontic movement. This study assesses the outcomes of a specific SABG approach using retromolar cortical shells for reconstruction. The procedure involves using retromolar cortical shells along with cancellous bone particles to create a three-dimensional reconstruction of the alveolar cleft. This technique is designed to rebuild the bone structure in the affected area. Participants will receive this surgical graft as the main intervention. During the study, researchers will monitor bone healing and stability over a six-month consolidation period. They will evaluate horizontal bone width, vertical bone level, and bone density to measure the success of the graft. Participants will be followed throughout this period to assess the reconstruction outcomes and overall bone health.
