Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment

Abstract

Alveolar bone grafting was first introduced to Brazil by the Bauru Cleft Team in 1993, brought from Oslo, Norway (Abyholm et al. 1981a). Since that time, the use of autologous bone grafting harvested from the iliac crest using Boyne’s technique has become the gold standard for the rehabilitation of the vast majority of cleft patients worldwide (Boyne and Sands 1972). Secondary alveolar bone grafting is ideally performed at 8–10 years of age, when dental development is finishing and the canine is partially formed, with a root of at least 2/3 of final size, ready to erupt into the maxilla. Preoperatively, the use of transverse maxillary expansion and orthodontics for dental alignment facilitates greatly the alveolar bone grafting procedure (Abyholm et al. 1981a, b).
