Evaluation of the clinical efficacy and safety of modified alveolar cleft bone graft with cone-beam CT digital imaging in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used to observe the bone density and bone height in children with modified alveolar bone graft (ABG) at different times after operation. In this study, the changes of labial-palatal bone mass in the stable period of bone union and in the bone graft area were investigated to provide reference for subsequent treatment.

Methods

A total of 140 pediatric patients with unilateral complete alveolar cleft were selected and routinely underwent iliac bone grafting. The original data obtained by ProMax 3D (Planmeca) examination were stored in DICOM format at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, and the images were reconstructed by Simplant software (Dentsply Sirona). The bone density of the healthy side was measured at 3 months and 6 months
