Mucosal Dehiscence After Alveolar Bone Graft in Cleft

J Craniofac Surg. 2018 Mar;29(2):e126-e128. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000004135.

Abstract

Cleft lip and palate patient represent a challenging experience for the surgeon. This kind of patients had to be followed by a multidisciplinary team from the beginning to the end to avoid the deformation sequelae. During the several surgical procedures, the bone graft represents a possible procedure that, through the new procedure, could be avoided. Unfortunately, patient treated following the previous procedure must be submitted to alveolar bone graft to coordinate the arch, to restore the maxillary integrity, to allow the correct dentition.
