Implication

Retrospective study compares early and intermediate secondary alveolar bone grafting outcomes in patients with cleft lip and palate, highlighting implications for clinical practice.

Key Points

To evaluate the outcomes of bone grafting timing in non-syndromic complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.
Retrospective comparative cohort study with forty patients divided into early SABG (<8 years) and intermediate SABG (8-12 years) groups.
Three-dimensional volumetric bone fill percentage measured at pre-surgery and 6-month postoperative using cone beam computed tomography.
Clinical outcome graded by two evaluators as excellent, adequate, or inadequate.
Early SABG showed a higher bone fill percentage (59.8 ± 11.7%) compared to intermediate SABG (49.1 ± 14.6%, P=0.0146, Cohen's d=0.81).
Both groups had high clinical grading adequacy (85% early SABG, 80% intermediate SABG, P=0.798).
No correlation was found between initial defect volume and bone fill percentage (R²=0.0005, P=0.893).
