What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a technique for secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) aimed at repairing alveolar clefts in patients aged 8 to 15 years. The goal of SABG is to restore the maxilla so that it becomes a stable functional structure, helping to prevent growth problems, support tooth eruption, and improve orthodontic treatment. This study specifically examines a method using retromolar cortical shells to reconstruct the alveolar clefts. The treatment involves a retromolar cortical shell graft procedure, where bone tissue from the retromolar area is used to rebuild the cleft in the maxillary alveolar region. This technique is designed to provide a stable bone foundation for the affected area. The study focuses on evaluating the bone width achieved after a six-month consolidation period following the grafting procedure. Participants will be monitored over at least six months to assess the horizontal bone width gained through the reconstruction. The study includes regular clinical and radiographic evaluations to measure the success of the graft and ensure proper healing. The researchers aim to understand how well the cortical shell technique supports bone stability and function in children with unilateral alveolar clefts.
