Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative outcomes and costs between inpatient and outpatient ABG in the United States. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Multi-institutional/national. PATIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS Patients who underwent ABG (n = 6649) were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database from 2012-2021. Inpatient and outpatient cohorts were matched using coarsened exact matching. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURE(S) Thirty-day readmission, reoperation, and complications. A modified Markov model was developed to estimate the cost difference between cohorts. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS After matching, 3718 patients were included, of which 1859 patients were in each hospital-setting cohort. The inpatient cohort had significantly higher rates of reoperations (0.6% vs. 0.2%; p = 0.032) and surgical site infections (0.8% vs. 0.2%; p = 0.018). The total cost of outpatient ABG was estimated to be $10,824 vs. $20,955 for inpatient ABG, resulting in $10,131 cost savings per patient. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis revealed that all 10,000 simulations resulted in consistent cost savings for the outpatient cohort that ranged from $8000 to $24,000. CONCLUSIONS Outpatient ABG has become increasingly more popular over the past ten years, with a majority of cases being performed in the ambulatory setting. If deemed safe for the individual patient, outpatient ABG may confer a lower risk of nosocomial complications and offer significant cost savings to the healthcare economy.

J Craniofac Surg 2024:00001665-990000000-01675. [PMID: 38836797 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000010399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
This study introduces a novel application of the Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System (OATS) for autologous bone grafting during alveolar cleft repair. Approximately 75% of patients with cleft lip and palate have an alveolar cleft, which often necessitates secondary bone grafting from common donor sites such as the iliac crest. Traditional harvesting techniques, although effective, can be labor-intensive and increase the risk of donor site injury. Here the authors describe the use of OATS, which has primarily been used in orthopedic procedures like anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, for the first time in alveolar cleft repair. It involves a minimally invasive, single-use transfer system for harvesting osteochondral autografts from the anterior iliac crest, and thereby reduces harvest time compared with traditional open approaches. The procedure is detailed from pre-operative evaluation through long-term follow-up and highlights the technique's benefits related to surgical time, ease of use, and maintenance of sizable autograft volumes. Similarly, the authors discuss other advantages of OATS, including its single-use and cordless nature, which is believed to contribute to a lower contamination risk and better intraoperative ergonomics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aims to quantitatively assess secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG) resorption in unilateral cleft lip, alveolus and palate (UCLAP) patients in a 2-3 year longitudinal follow-up setting by using a validated 3D protocol. Furthermore, the potential relation of SABG resorption with maxillary canine position and a number of patient-related factors was investigated. METHODS UCLAP patients who underwent SABG and had good quality CBCT images at the following timepoints were included in the study: pre-operative (T0), immediate (T1), 6 months (T2) and either 1-2 years (T3) or 2-3 years (T4) post-operative. The final bone grafted region was defined on the T1 scans and refined in the registered T0 scans. The bone graft after resorption was determined by applying threshold-based segmentation on the registered T2, T3 or T4 scans within the segmented bone graft volume. The position of the canines was determined at every timepoint at the cleft and non-cleft side. RESULTS Forty-five UCLAP patients (mean age 9.0 ± 1.3 years) were included. In the first 6 months after SABG, 43.6% bone resorption was recorded. 2-3 years post-operative, 56% bone resorption was found if the maxillary canine was not yet erupted and 42.7% if it erupted through the graft. The vertical position of the canines was significantly higher on the cleft side at T3. CONCLUSIONS The present study reports significant SABG resorption over time. However, no correlation was found between SABG resorption and canine position, nor between other patient-related factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the efficacy of gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP) in preventing alveolar bone grafting (ABG) among children with cleft lip and palate (CLP). DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective university hospital single center study. PATIENTS Children with CLP treated with GPP from 2000-2015 were included. Those under eight years of age, without definitive conclusions regarding need for ABG or with incomplete data were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Included patients were analyzed for demographics, cleft type, age at GPP, associated cleft surgery, use of nasoalveolar molding (NAM), indication for ABG, operating surgeon and presence of residual alveolar fistula. T-tests and Fisher's exact tests were utilized for statistical analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The need for ABG. RESULTS Of the 1682 children identified with CLP, 64 underwent GPP and met inclusion criteria. 78% of patients with CLP who underwent GPP were recommended for ABG. Those who received GPP at a younger age (P = .004) and at the time of initial cleft lip repair (P = .022) were less likely to be recommended for ABG. Patients with complete CLP were more likely to be recommended for ABG than patients with cleft lip and alveolus only (P = .015). The operating surgeon impacted the likelihood of ABG (P = .004). Patient gender, race, ethnicity, laterality, and NAM were not significantly associated with recommendation for ABG. CONCLUSION GPP does not preclude the need for ABG. Therefore, the success of ABG after GPP and maxillary growth restriction should be analyzed further to determine if GPP is a worthwhile adjunct to ABG in cleft care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose is to evaluate outcomes of alveolar bone grafting based on the pre-grafting orthodontic preparation methods. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate. SUBJECTS AND SETTINGS 28 individuals with non-syndromic UCLP from two craniofacial centers, 14 individuals each from XXXX and XXXX. INTERVENTIONS The alignment group underwent maxillary expansion with incisors alignment while the non-alignment group underwent only maxillary expansion for presurgical orthodontic preparation. METHODS Initial and post-surgical CBCT scans were compared to observe changes in angulation of the incisor adjacent to the cleft site, alveolar bony root coverage, and bone graft outcomes. RESULTS In the alignment group, the buccolingual rotation decreased by 32.35 degrees (p = .0002), the anteroposterior inclination increased by 14.01 degrees (p = .0004), and the mesiodistal angulation decreased by 17.88 degrees (p = .0001). Alveolar bony coverage did not change after bone graft in both groups, and no difference was observed between the groups. Chelsea scale showed satisfactory bone graft outcome (category A, C) in 12 cases (85.71%) in the alignment group and 11 cases (78.51%) in the non-alignment group. The volumetric measurement showed the alignment group had better bone fill of 69.85% versus 51.45% in the non-alignment group (p = .0495). CONCLUSIONS Alveolar bony coverage on the tooth adjacent to cleft sites did not change with alveolar bone grafting surgery in either of the alignment and non-alignment group. Presurgical orthodontic alignment does not induce root exposure nor poorer bone grafting outcome.

Does the adjunctive use of autologous platelet concentrate during secondary alveolar bone grafting reduce the risk of wound dehiscence? A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024:S1010-5182(24)00165-3. [PMID: 38729847 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Wound dehiscence is a common complication after secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG), leading to unfavourable surgical outcomes. Studies have shown that autologous platelet concentrates (APC) may enhance wound healing and improve outcomes. Therefore, this review aimed to evaluate in patients with alveolar clefts, whether using APC and iliac crest bone graft can mitigate the likelihood of wound dehiscence formation compared with those who underwent iliac bone grafting only following SABG. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using various electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Ovid MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library, and grey literature, to include studies until July 31, 2023, without any restriction to language and time of publication. Only randomized (RCT) and controlled (CCT) clinical trials were included. Two independent reviewers screened the studies based on the predefined criteria, after which a qualitative and quantitative analysis was conducted. The search yielded 821 studies, of which seven were deemed eligible for systematic review. The risk of bias assessment done using "The Cochrane collaboration tool for risk of bias assessment" for six RCTs and the "Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies - of Interventions" for one CCT revealed a moderate to high risk of bias. The meta-analysis of five studies showed that the overall risk of developing wound dehiscence was lower in the APC group (RR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.71; p = 0.005; χ2 = 0.82; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analyses based on study design further supported these findings. Although the adjuvant use of APC for alveolar cleft reconstruction reduces the risk of wound dehiscence, more studies with increased scientific rigour and fewer confounding variables are warranted.

Abstract
Background: In patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) with particulate cancellous bone marrow (PCBM) is recommended. Objective: To compare bone graft outcomes in patients with unilateral CLP, when SABG is completed before or after canine tooth eruption (ACE or BCE), as measured by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Patients were allocated into two cohorts, ACE and BCE. The outcomes were evaluated using CBCT, followed by univariate and multifactorial analyses. Results: A total of 468 patients (age 11.61 ± 4.03 years; male/female 288/180) were analyzed, including 282 in the BCE group (9.41 ± 1.59 years, 175/107) and 186 in the ACE group (14.95 ± 4.31 years, 113/73). Although 5-level assessment revealed no significant difference in clinical success rate (>4 points) between the BCE and ACE groups (53.90% vs. 47.85%, p = 0.20), BCE group showed significantly higher rate of bone bridges formation (73.05% vs. 62.90%, p = 0.02), which can be attributed to variations in orthodontic participation and follow-up time. Independent predictors of graft failure were wide cleft, severe oronasal fistula, no palatal bone wall, and insufficient PCBM filling (p < 0.01). Conclusions: SABG should be performed before canine eruption with more aggressive PCBM filling and oral fistula management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current standard timing for alveolar bone grafting (ABG) occurs during mixed dentition, typically between the ages of six and twelve. A delay in receiving this operation is associated with an increase in graft loss and an overall thinner maxilla. This study aims to determine whether socioeconomic barriers are associated with a delay in timely ABG. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of patients who received ABG at our institution since 2012. Patient demographics, cleft classifications, operative details, and surgical dates were examined. A logistic regression model was created using socioeconomic variables to predict patients receiving delayed ABG. Significant variables were then included in a backwards selection logistic regression, followed by a final analysis of maximum likelihood estimates. SETTING Single-institution, primary cleft care center. PATIENTS 202 patients with cleft palates who underwent ABG. INTERVENTIONS ABG. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Timing in which patients received ABG: standard (6-12 years) and delayed (>12 years). RESULTS Female sex was a protective factor in the timing of ABG in our initial univariate analysis (OR = 0.44; p = .015). Socioeconomic factors resulting in delayed presentation for ABG include median income (OR = 1.0; p = .018) and public insurance status (OR = 3.75; p < .001). Median income, sex, and driving distance to the cleft clinic were not significant following backward elimination, however, private insurance status remained significant (OR = 3.71; p = .0001). CONCLUSION Patients with public insurance are approximately 3.75 times more likely to receive ABG during permanent dentition. Multidisciplinary teams should work closely with patients on public insurance to ensure timely delivery of ABG.Level of Evidence III, Retrospective.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cleft lip, alveolus, and palate are the most common congenital abnormalities in the world, occurring in one in seven hundred live births. Secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) is usually performed when the permanent canine root shows one-half to two-thirds of root development. To improve the surgical outcome, supplemental grafting materials such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have been used as an adjunct. This review is designed to assess the efficacy of PRF and PRP in improving the outcome of SABG. (2) Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed until 13 October 2022 on MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Pubmed. The full text of potentially relevant studies was reviewed, and only randomised clinical trials (RCTs) were included based on the inclusion criteria. (3) Results: A total of 656 studies were screened, of which four were included for final review. All of the four included studies that evaluated the quantitative or qualitative surgical outcome in varied ways. (4) Conclusions: Results of this review suggest that both PRF or PRP and control group (without the use of PRF/PRP) achieved similar successful outcomes in bone height, bone density, and bone volume in both qualitative and quantitative assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the existing evidence on the adjuvant use of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) with iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) in the reconstruction of the secondary alveolar cleft. METHODS Electronic databases were searched systematically until November 2022. Clinical trials comparing the three-dimensional radiological outcomes of patients who underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) with ICBG and APCs to those with ICBG alone and the radiological outcomes assessed 6 months after surgery were included. Two authors performed the study selection and the assessment of the risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model to determine the risk ratio (RR) for developing wound dehiscence and the mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for the percentage of newly formed bone. RESULTS Nine studies (seven RCT and two CCT) were included with a low to high risk of bias. At the 6-month follow-up, the study group revealed insignificant results regarding the percentage of newly formed bone (MD = 6.49; 95% CI: -0.97, 13.94; p = .09; χ2 = 0.01; I2 = 71%). In addition, the overall risk of developing wound dehiscence was lower in the study group (RR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.78; p = .01; χ2 = 0.67; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION Currently, there is insufficient evidence to support the adjuvant use of APCs with ICBG on enhanced bone regeneration following secondary alveolar bone grafting. However, combining ICBG and APCs might be beneficial in reducing the risk of developing wound dehiscence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies addressing the periodontal health of the teeth surrounding the bone-grafted cleft in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate disagree on whether periodontal health is compromised. OBJECTIVES To determine periodontal health differences between the cleft and the non-cleft sides nearly a decade after secondary alveolar bone grafting. METHODS This prospective, controlled (split-mouth design) study comprised an intraoral apical radiographic and a periodontal examination of 40 consecutive patients from one centre (n = 26 males) who had undergone bone grafting at mean age of 10.2 years (±1.6). Probing pocket depth, gingival index, gingival recession, and radiographic bone support were assessed. RESULTS No significant difference occurred in probing pocket depth between teeth at cleft and non-cleft sites (OR 1.8, P = .488). Gingival recession was present at 6.6% of all examined sites on the cleft side and at 1.7% on the non-cleft side (OR 17.3, P < .001). Gingival recession occurred most often on the buccal and disto-buccal surfaces of the central incisor on the cleft side. The gingival index was significantly higher on the cleft side (OR 8.0, P < .001). The Bergland index was I or II in most patients (87%). LIMITATIONS Recruitment of eligible patients was lengthy. CONCLUSION The teeth on the cleft side had high levels of gingival inflammation. Few pathological gingival pockets, however, were found. Shallow gingival recessions frequently occurred around the central incisor on the cleft side. Teeth in the bone-grafted cleft region generally had good bone support.

Abstract
The current standard of care for an alveolar cleft defect is an autogenous bone graft, typically from the iliac crest. Given the limitations of alveolar bone graft surgery, such as limited supply, donor site morbidity, graft failure, and need for secondary surgery, there has been growing interest in regenerative medicine strategies to supplement and replace traditional alveolar bone grafts. Though there have been preliminary clinical studies investigating bone tissue engineering methods in human subjects, lack of consistent results as well as limitations in study design make it difficult to determine the efficacy of these interventions. As the field of bone tissue engineering is rapidly advancing, reconstructive surgeons should be aware of the preclinical studies informing these regenerative strategies. We review preclinical studies investigating bone tissue engineering strategies in large animal maxillary or mandibular defects and provide an overview of scaffolds, stem cells, and osteogenic agents applicable to tissue engineering of the alveolar cleft. An electronic search conducted in the PubMed database up to December 2021 resulted in 35 studies for inclusion in our review. Most studies showed increased bone growth with a tissue engineering construct compared to negative control. However, heterogeneity in the length of follow up, method of bone growth analysis, and inconsistent use of positive control groups make comparisons across studies difficult. Future studies should incorporate a pediatric study model specific to alveolar cleft with long-term follow up to fully characterize volumetric defect filling, cellular ingrowth, bone strength, tooth movement, and implant support.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alveolar bone grafting aims to restore bony continuity of the alveolus and provide optimal periodontal support for teeth adjacent to the cleft. We created a survey of cleft surgeons to assess the current standard of care regarding this procedure. METHODS A multiple choice survey was implemented using Qualtrics software and emailed to a list of 708 surgeons from the ACPA membership directory. Correlation between various provider factors and treatment practices was assessed with Fisher's exact test and likelihood ratio tests. RESULTS The response rate was 17.5%. Eighty-seven percent of providers preferred to perform grafts prior to secondary canine eruption while 10% favored before central incisor eruption. Eighty-one percent favored palatal expansion prior to bone grafting. Wide variability existed regarding the time to initiate postoperative orthodontics; 43% waited 4 to 6 months. Sixty-four percent of surgeons now utilize cone beam CT to assess graft take. The majority of respondents utilized cancellous bone autograft (92%) from the anterior iliac crest (97%) as graft material. Seventy percent used three or more modalities for post-operative pain control management. Early career surgeons (0-5 years) appeared more likely to use non-autologous materials (p < .01) for grafting. CONCLUSION Alveolar bone grafting prior to secondary canine eruption remains the most common strategy but other protocols are employed. Surgeons utilize multiple modalities for radiographic evaluation and most often use autologous cancellous bone as the primary grafting material. There is no true consensus on the perioperative timing and sequencing of orthodontic manipulation while principles of multimodal perioperative pain control appear widely accepted.

J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:1682-1685. [PMID: 37487109 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000009445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023] Open
Abstract
There is still no consensus on the optimal age for alveolar grafting. In order to decide on the success of this graft, the best known radiographic assessments lacks precision. Kamperos recently proposed a 3D CBCT score that simultaneously assesses alveolar bone height and thickness, as well as the nasal floor level. The aim of this study was to apply this new score and compare it between an early secondary alveolar grafting « ESAG » (4-7 y) and a late secondary alveolar grafting « LSAG » (8-11 y) surgery group. A total of 32 cases of ESAG and 17 of LSAG were analysed. On 3D imaging, the median age of ESAGs was 10 years and 15 years for LSAGs. In the ESAGs, 78% of the permanents canines were not on the arch compared to 18% in the LSAGs. In both groups, the reconstruction of the nasal floor was very adequate but the height and thickness appeared less good in the ESAGs. The final score was higher in LSAG (Chi2, P < 0.005). The analysis of the alveolar bone with the Kamperos score is accurate and relevant but it should preferably be performed in the permanent dentition phase. This is because the area of rhizalysis of the primary teeth and the follicular sac of the erupting permanent teeth influence the presence of effective bone.

Evaluation of Dental Root Development Regarding Maxillary Canine Eruption Status after Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting in Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13091642. [PMID: 37175033 PMCID: PMC10178012 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13091642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In children born with cleft lip and palate, the timing of the secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG) is crucial to its success; this involves estimating the eruption of the permanent maxillary canine. Altered dental eruption in this patient group gives impetus to the identification of dental developmental factors concerning maxillary canine eruption, which may steer the clinical decision of SABG timing. Records of over nine hundred patients who received SABG with pre- and post-operative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were analyzed for inclusion and divided into two groups (erupting or non-erupting canine after SABG). Roots of the maxillary canines and premolars were segmented from the cementoenamel junction then linear and volumetric measurements were performed. The pre- and post-operative root length and volume differences were calculated and compared statistically using independent sample tests and paired t-tests. No statistically significant differences were found in the volume change (%), or reciprocal of mean root length in the erupted and unerupted groups in the canine, first premolar, or second premolar roots except for an association between the post-operative dental root length of the canine and the maxillary canine eruption status. Therefore, assessment of root development from pre-treatment CBCT scans was not deemed worthy from a diagnostic perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting (SABG) in patients treated either in daycare or with multiple day hospitalization (MDH) in relation to costs and complication rates. DESIGN Retrospective comparative cohort study. SETTING The data was collected from two settings: Postoperative daycare or MDH after oral cleft surgery in an Academic Medical Center in The Netherlands. PATIENTS Data of 137 patients with unilateral Cleft lip, alveolus, and palate (CLAP) treated between 2006-2018 were evaluated. Registered clinical variables: age, gender, cleft subtype, bone donor site, type of hospitalization, length of stay, additional surgery, complications, surgeons, and costs. INTERVENTIONS Closure of the alveolar cleft with/without closure of the anterior palate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Univariate analyses. RESULTS Of the 137 patients, 46.7% were treated in MDH, and 53.3% in daycare. Total costs for daycare were significantly lower (P < .001). All patients treated in daycare received mandibular symphysis bone, whereas in MDH, 46.9% received iliac crest bone instead. Bone donor site was associated with postoperative care type. Complication rates were slightly but not significantly higher in daycare (26%) vs. MDH (14.1%) (P = .09). Most were Grade I (minor) according to Clavien Dindo classification. CONCLUSIONS Daycare after alveolar cleft surgery is about as safe as MDH, but significantly cheaper.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to review all research evidence of presurgical cleft size and related factors to success of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG). DESIGN AND SETTING The systematic review searched the OVID-Medline®, PubMed®, Embase®, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) up to August 2020. Two reviewers independently selected potential abstracts for full review. Disagreeements were resolved by consensus. The first author extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using Risk of Bias in Non-randomized studies-of Interventions tool. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS Patients with non-syndromic clefts who received SABG were selected. Presurgical cleft size/volume and treatment results must be available. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Level of the grafted bone, achievement of orthodontic tooth movement into the grafted area, need for re-operation. RESULTS From 962 abstracts, 23 publications were included. Mean cleft width was 6.80 ± 1.98 mm, cleft area 20-240 mm2, and mean volume 0.89 ± 0.33 cm3. No definite conclusion was achieved on whether a narrow or wide cleft showed better treatment outcomes, but other potentially related factors were good oral hygiene and eruptive force of the maxillary canines. Lack of a standard definition of cleft size, a small sample size, varying outcome parameters, and moderate-to-high risk of bias contributed to the summary. A meta-analysis could not be performed because of the heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Due to insufficient evidence, cleft width/volume could not be specified leading to more successful SABG. Care of patients could be improved in both research by following rigorous methodology, and practice by clear communication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the dentoalveolar outcomes of slow maxillary expansion (SME) and rapid maxillary expansion (RME) used for maxillary expansion before secondary alveolar bone grafting in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). Secondarily, the advantages and disadvantages of SME vs RME were reviewed. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted up to November 2021, including Medline (via PubMed), Embase (via Ovid), Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Risk-of-bias assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias (RoB 2.0) and Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS I) tool. Overall quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool. RESULTS Of 4007 records, five studies met the inclusion criteria. The randomized control trial (RCT) had a low risk of bias, the non-RCTs presented with a moderate risk of bias. Arch width and perimeter increased significantly with both SME and RME treatments. No difference in the increase in palatal depth was found. The meta-analysis showed a greater anterior-to-posterior expansion ratio for the Quad Helix (QH) appliance. The results for dental tipping were not conclusive. CONCLUSIONS SME and RME promote equal posterior expansion in cleft patients. The anterior differential expansion is greater with SME (QH appliance). No clear evidence exists concerning the amount of dental adverse effects of SME and RME in cleft patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe pre- and post-alveolar bone graft (ABG) practice protocols of orthodontists associated with American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association-approved cleft and cleft/craniofacial teams. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic survey responses from team orthodontists were evaluated regarding pre-ABG orthodontic treatment type(s), timing of post-ABG imaging and post-ABG orthodontic treatment, and craniofacial orthodontic fellowship training status of the team orthodontists. A P value of <.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Of 31 responding orthodontists, 54.8% had fellowship training and 45.2% did not. Pre-ABG orthodontic preparation ranged from solely maxillary expansion for alveolar segment alignment (35.5%) to a combination of maxillary expansion for both alveolar segment alignment and posterior crossbite correction, anterior tooth alignment, and anterior crossbite correction (19.4%). Most captured post-ABG radiographs prior to orthodontic tooth movement (90.3%). Orthodontists began treatment at least 6 months (35.5%), 2-4 months (32.3%), or 4-6 months (29%) post-ABG. No significant differences were found when comparing fellowship subgroups. In addition, 47.1% of fellowship-trained orthodontists deferred post-ABG orthodontic treatment to at least 6 months post-operatively, vs 21.4% of non-fellowship trained orthodontists (P = .14). CONCLUSIONS A large variation in approaches is evident in pre-ABG orthodontic treatment types and timing of post-ABG treatment. Post-operative imaging is pursued by most orthodontists to assess graft status prior to initiating orthodontic treatment. Additional clinical research is needed to support providers in their decision-making with regard to evidence-based approaches.

Abstract
Reconstruction of alveolar clefts using cancellous bone graft is associated with a high rate of resorption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration capacity of cortical calvarial bone grafting using 3-dimensional imaging assessment for alveolar cleft reconstruction in pediatric population.All alveolar bone grafting procedures performed between January 2015 and October 2017 in the maxillofacial surgery department of Lille University Hospital were included. All patients were evaluated clinically and by 3-dimensional imaging before bone grafting and at 3 months after surgery. Cleft and bone graft volumes were assessed using Horos software, v. 3.3.5, through a segmentation process. The bone filled ratio at 3 months after surgery was calculated. A total of 48 alveolar bone grafting procedures were performed in 37 patients: 3 unilateral cleft lip and alveolar, 20 unilateral cleft lip and palate, and 25 bilateral full cleft lip and palate (3 patients had only unilateral surgery). The mean bone filled ratio was 72.27%±23.65%, 81% for unilateral cleft lip and alveolus, 75.4%±20.6 for unilateral cleft lip and palate, and 65.5%±30 for bilateral complete cleft lip and palate ( P =0.1981). Calvarial bone grafting seems to be a relevant alternative to other donor sites for alveolar cleft reconstruction.

MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Ebscohost, and Cochrane Library were searched and 20 articles based on RCTs conducted on cleft patient management were identified. RESULTS The topics explored were infant orthopedics, lip and palate repair, alveolar bone grafting, and management of cleft maxillary hypoplasia. Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) was found to have great benefits when carried out within one month of birth. Fisher and Mohler's lip repair technique and use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh-BMP2) for alveolar bone grafting showed promising results. rh-BMP2 for alveolar bone grafting appears to be a promising alternative to autografts. CONCLUSION Early commencement of NAM in neonatal life is of great benefit to cleft patients. There is a need for more multicentre collaborations, mainly to identify the ideal surgical technique to reduce the variability in treatment and to ensure that the patient receives appropriate evidence-based treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background The objective of our study was to derive an objective assessment scale for three-dimensional (3D) qualitative and quantitative evaluation of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) using cone-bone computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP).
Methods CBCT scans for pre- and 3-month post-SABG were reviewed for bone volume, height, width, and density of the bony bridge formed in the cleft defect in 20 patients with UCLP. Basic descriptive and principal component analysis was used to extract the various sub-components of the scale. Spearman's correlation was used to check the validity of the scale, and intra-class coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's α were calculated to establish the reliability and retest applicability of the scale.
Results Each CBCT scan was assessed in five areas: cementoenamel junction (CEJ), root apex, root midpoint, 3 and 6 mm below CEJ, and tabulated in percentiles of 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, and 75 for all the parameters (bone volume, density, and width). These scores were validated when correlated to the scale given by Kamperos et al. Cronbach's α for the domains demonstrated acceptable to excellent internal consistency. The ICC showed good test–retest reliability having a range of scores from 0.89 to 0.94.
Conclusion The proposed scale for the 3D assessment of SABG in patients with UCLP provides gradation for the objective assessment of the bony bridge. This gradation enables the qualitative and quantitative assessments of the bony bridge, thus allowing each clinician to judge SABG more conclusively.

Abstract
Purpose: To remedy the drawbacks of traditional autogenous bone harvesting in alveolar bone grafting (ABG), a novel strategy of composite grafting with BMP2-loaded calcium phosphate cements (BMP2-CPC) and autogenous bone harvested by minimally invasive technique was developed and evaluated for its bone-repairing efficacy.Materials and methods: A chart review was conducted for 19 patients with unilateral alveolar clefts who underwent secondary ABG from 2017 to 2020. Of the enrolled patients, 9 patients underwent grafting with autogenous bone harvested by traditional trap door technique (group I), and 10 patients underwent grafting with the composite graft comprising BMP2-CPC and autogenous bone harvested by minimally invasive technique at a ratio of 1:1 by volume (group II). The clinical performance of the composite graft was comprehensively evaluated in terms of clinical, radiographic and histological perspectives.Results: The present results demonstrated that the composite graft exhibited satisfactory bone-repairing efficacy comparable to that of the autogenous bone graft on the premise of lower amount of harvested bone. The post-surgical resorption of bone volume and vertical height of grafted area was significantly slower in group II. The favourable resorption performance of BMP2-CPC contributed to preserving the post-surgical bony contour reconstructed with the composite graft.Conclusion: The composite graft comprising BMP2-CPC and autogenous bone harvested by minimally invasive technique was demonstrated to be an eligible alternative for application in ABG, especially for its improved resorption performance in preserving post-surgical bony contour.

Abstract
This study sought to identify disparities in the timing of alveolar bone grafting (ABG) surgery and the replacement strategy for missing maxillary lateral incisors for patients with clefts. A retrospective record review identified patients who underwent ABG. Multivariable regression analyzed the independent contribution of each variable. This institutional study was performed at the University of California, San Francisco. Patients who presented under age 12 and underwent secondary ABG between 2012 and 2020 (n = 160). The age at secondary ABG and the recommended dental replacement treatment for each patient, either dental implantation or canine substitution. The average age at ABG was 10.8 ± 2.1 years, 106 (66.3%) patients were not White, and 80 (50.0%) had private insurance. Independent predictors of older age at ABG included an income below $ 50 000 as estimated from ZIP code (β = 15.0 months, 95% CI, 5.7-24.3, P = .002) and identifying as a race other than White (β = 10.1 months, 95% CI, 2.1-18.0, P = .01). After ABG, patients were more likely to undergo dental implantation over canine substitution if they were female (odds ratio [OR] = 4.3, 95% CI, 1.3-17.1, P = .02) or had private insurance (OR = 12.5, 95% CI, 2.2-143.2, P = .01). Patients who were low-income or not White experienced delays in ABG, whereas dental implantation was more likely to be recommended for patients with private insurance. Understanding the sources of disparities in dental reconstruction of cleft deformities may reveal opportunities to improve equity.

Abstract
Introduction: Bony reconstruction of the alveolar process and its adjacent platform largely represents the final step in surgical achievement of functionality and aesthetics in cleft patients. Throughout the years, the success of this procedure has been investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the success rate of autogenous mid-secondary alveolar bone grafting in this setting. Methods and Material: A retrospective cohort study was performed. All cleft patients receiving secondary alveolar bone grafts between 1990 and 2020 were reviewed. Criteria for assessing success were long-term preservation of alveolar bone stock, ability of spontaneous or orthodontic-guided eruption and periodontal health of permanent lateral incisors and canine teeth, absence of exposed root structures of neighbouring teeth, absence of fistula and successful placement of implants. Failure of alveolar bone grafts was indicated by radiographically demonstrable total or near-total graft loss requiring reintervention. Results: A number of 124 patients were included and grouped as those primarily operated following our (two-staged palatoplasty) protocol and those receiving cheilorhinoplasty and palatoplasty (one-staged) at other centres. Given the limited cohort size, no complex statistical analysis was performed. In the first group of 64 patients 12 experienced complications (Veau III, eight/36; Veau IV, four/18). In the second group of 60 patients, 12 experienced complications (Veau III, six/37; Veau IV, six/17). Discussion: Our surgical protocol using anterior iliac bone grafts for secondary alveolar reconstruction achieved good results, comparing favourably with previous literature.

Abstract
Background Recently, the dental age estimation method developed by Cameriere has been widely recognized and accepted. Although machine learning (ML) methods can improve the accuracy of dental age estimation, no machine learning research exists on the use of the Cameriere dental age estimation method, making this research innovative and meaningful. Aim The purpose of this research is to use 7 lower left permanent teeth and three models [random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and linear regression (LR)] based on the Cameriere method to predict children's dental age, and compare with the Cameriere age estimation. Subjects and methods This was a retrospective study that collected and analyzed orthopantomograms of 748 children (356 females and 392 males) aged 5–13 years. Data were randomly divided into training and test datasets in an 80–20% proportion for the ML algorithms. The procedure, starting with randomly creating new training and test datasets, was repeated 20 times. 7 permanent developing teeth on the left mandible (except wisdom teeth) were recorded using the Cameriere method. Then, the traditional Cameriere formula and three models (RF, SVM, and LR) were used to estimate the dental age. The age prediction accuracy was measured by five indicators: the coefficient of determination (R2), mean error (ME), root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), and mean absolute error (MAE). Results The research showed that the ML models have better accuracy than the traditional Cameriere formula. The ME, MAE, MSE, and RMSE values of the SVM model (0.004, 0.489, 0.392, and 0.625, respectively) and the RF model (− 0.004, 0.495, 0.389, and 0.623, respectively) were lower with the highest accuracy. In contrast, the ME, MAE, MSE and RMSE of the European Cameriere formula were 0.592, 0.846, 0.755, and 0.869, respectively, and those of the Chinese Cameriere formula were 0.748, 0.812, 0.890 and 0.943, respectively. Conclusions Compared to the Cameriere formula, ML methods based on the Cameriere’s maturation stages were more accurate in estimating dental age. These results support the use of ML algorithms instead of the traditional Cameriere formula.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) timing in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) influences the future need for additional maxillary advancement procedures, particularly Le Fort I osteotomy with rigid external distraction (RED). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. Groups were separated by SABG timing: early mixed dentition (ages 68 years) or late mixed dentition (ages 9-11 years). The criterion for RED was negative overjet ≥8 mm, and sufficient dental development for RED. SETTING Single tertiary care institution. PATIENTS Patients with CLP that underwent SABG from 2010 to 2015. Exclusion criteria included syndromic conditions, SABG surgery at age >12 years, current age <12 years, and <2 years follow-up. 104 patients were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The number of RED candidates and treated patients. RESULTS There was no statistical difference in the number of RED candidates (P = .0718) nor treated patients (P = .2716) based on SABG timing; stratification by laterality was also insignificant. Early SABG is associated with higher odds of being a RED candidate (pooled, unilateral, bilateral) and treated patient (pooled and unilateral); however, there were no statistically significant associations between SABG timing and the number of RED candidates and treated patients as determined by logistic regression models. CONCLUSION There is no statistically significant association between SABG timing and the odds of being a RED candidate or treated patient. Future prospective studies are recommended to assess the relationship between SABG timing and maxillary growth in patients with CLP.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a new alveolar bone grafting protocol using advanced-PRF (a-PRF) by comparing the volumes of newly formed bone after a bone graft combining autogenous iliac crest bone with either PRF or a-PRF. Patients presenting with unilateral or a bilateral alveolar cleft were included retrospectively in two groups: one group was grafted using cancellous iliac crest bone with PRF (PRF group), whereas for the other group the same procedure was followed using a-PRF (a-PRF group). CBCT scans were performed 3 months preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. The volume of newly formed bone was measured by subtracting the postoperative cleft volume from the preoperative cleft volume. The mean volume of newly formed bone was compared between the two groups using Student's t-test. Twenty-four patients were included, with 12 allocated to each group. Forty-eight CBCT scans were analyzed. The mean volume of newly formed bone was 0.29 (±0.09) cm3 in the a-PRF group, versus 0.20 (±0.08) cm3 in the PRF group (Student's t-test, p = 0.024). The percentage of newly formed bone was 60.4 (±10.4) % in the a-PRF group versus 51.4 (±18.4) % in the PRF group (Student's t-test, p = 0.165). Our study demonstrated improved bone regeneration in the a-PRF group. While bearing in mind the limitations of this study, the a-PRF procedure should be adopted in cleft bone grafting whenever possible.

Abstract
(1) Background: Alveolar bone defects or decreased alveolar bone height and width may have different causes, such as cleft palate. Regenerative procedures in oro-dental defects are challenging due to anatomical factors and the distinct cell populations involved. The iliac crest bone graft remains the gold-standard for cleft palate closure. However, tissue regeneration approaches have been employed and their outcome reviewed, but no conclusions have been made about which one is the gold-standard. (2) Methods: this umbrella review aims to critically appraise the effectiveness of the current approaches in bone defects regeneration in non-syndromic patients with cleft palate. A search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science and EMBASE databases. (3) Results: Systematic reviews of randomized and non-randomized controlled trials with or without meta-analysis were included. Nine articles were included in the qualitative analysis and five in the quantitative one. The included studies quality was evaluated with AMSTAR2. (4) Conclusions: The use of new regenerative strategies, such as bone morphogenic protein 2, appears to provide similar results regarding bone volume, filling, and height to the standard technique with the iliac crest bone graft.

Abstract
The study aimed at comparing maxillofacial morphology and burden of surgical treatment in post-pubertal patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) following early vs. late secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG). In this retrospective study maxillofacial morphology was assessed on lateral cephalograms of skeletally matured patients with UCLP operated on consecutively in one center by the same method of one-stage primary cleft repair followed by SABG. Cephalometric analysis comprised 8 angular and 7 linear measurements. Maxillary growth restriction was evaluated by measuring SNA angle and Co-A and PNS-A distances. Five linear regression models with SNA, SNB, ANB, Co-A, and MP/SN as dependent variables and age at primary cleft repair, age at SABG, age at taking cephalogram, surgeon, and total number of surgical interventions as independent variables were also created. 135 patients were included in the study - 70 patients (47 males and 23 females) had early SABG (E-SABG group) and 65 patients (40 males and 25 females) had late SABG (L-SABG group). Mean age at bone grafting procedure was 2.7 years (range 1.5-5.9, SD 1.1) and 10.3 years (range 6.1-18.8, SD 3.2) in E-SABG and LSABG group respectively. The variables describing the degree of maxillary growth restriction - SNA, Co-A, and PNS-A - were comparable in both groups (p = 0.707, 0.116, and 0.932, respectively). Regression models demonstrated that independent variables were not associated with the values of SNA angle, SNB angle, ANB angle, MP/SN angle, and Co-A distance (p = 0.761, 0.088, 0.249, 0.380, and 0.363, respectively). The percentages of oronasal fistula repair, VPI repair, repeated SABG, upper lip correction, rhinoplasty, orthognathic surgery were 22.9, 7.1, 15.7, 24.3, 42.9, 2.9 in E-SABG group and 27.7, 7.7, 9.2, 36.9, 47.7, 3.1 in L-SABG group respectively. Mean number of all surgical interventions was 3.2 in E-SABG and 3.4 in L-SABG group, respectively (p = 0.271). Considering the comparable maxillofacial morphology and burden of surgical care in matured patients after early and late SABG, the choice of timing of bone grafting surgery could be left to the discretion of the surgeon.

Retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes in bilateral cleft lip and palate patients after secondary alveolar bone grafting and premaxilla osteotomy, using a new dento-maxillary scoring system.

Abstract
Evaluation of relevant clinical outcomes in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) after secondary aveolar bone grafting (SABG) and premaxilla osteotomy (PMO), through the use of a new scoring system. Data were collected retrospectively from all patients with BCLP who were operated on between 2004 and 2014, at the end of follow-up. The treatment protocol consisted of SABG + PMO in patients aged between 9 and 13 years. At the end of follow-up, the following parameters were scored: (un)interrupted dental arch, skeletal sagittal relationship, bone height using the Bergland/Abyholm criteria, and the presence of postoperative fistula. These parameters were combined to produce a dento-maxillary scoring system, giving a final score between 1 and 10. For statistical analysis, the independent t-test was used. Of 55 children, 45 were suitable for analysis. The mean age at time of surgery was 12.0 years (8.9-16.4 yrs), and the mean follow-up time was 11.7 years (5.8-15.8 yrs). The average number of surgeries executed under general anesthesia was 6 (range: 3-11). The average dento-maxillary score in this patient cohort was 7.6 (1-10; median: 8). Among these patients, 31 had an uninterrupted dental arch; the average Bergland/Abyholm score was 2.07; 30 patients exhibited an Angle class I incisor relationship; and, in 38 cases, the oronasal communication was closed after SABG + PMO treatment. A significant effect of fistulas was seen on dento-maxillary score (p = 0.001). Specifically, a significant effect of fistulas was seen on interrupted dental arch (p = 0.002) and on Bergland/Abyholm score (p = 0.037). The proposed dento-maxillary scoring system is a straightforward tool that can be used to describe and analyze the amount of dento-maxillary rehabilitation at the end of the treatment. Persistence of oronasal fistulas in patients with BCLP has a significant impact on interruption of the dental arch, and can influence dental results at the end of the second decade.

Abstract
Deviations from anthropometric norms related to facial skeletal development are a relatively normal occurrence in the dental management of the vast majority of patients. A consideration for correction is usually warranted only when there is associated morbidity, functional impairment, or psychosocial detriment. The vast majority of jaw and dental abnormalities are developmental and present themselves within a continuum of clinically conspicuous to overtly obvious. This article highlights a variety of developmental abnormalities that present with structural disharmony of the maxillomandibular complex and secondarily associated dental structures.
