Consequence of Synthetic Bone Substitute used for Alveolar Cleft Graft Reconstruction (Clinical Study)

Objectives: Highlight the outcome of alveolar grafting with synthetic bone substitute (Osteon III) only in various bone defect volumes. Material and Method: Prospective study accomplished on 55 patients (6-13 years aged) with unilateral alveolar bone cleft. Osteon III, consisting of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) used to reconstruct the defect. Alveolus defect diameter calculated before surgery (V1), after 3 months (V2) and lastly after 6 months (V3) post-surgery. T-Test significant difference and correlation between V1, V2 and V2, V3 are stated. P value of ≤ 0.01 considered significant difference between parameters. Result Degree of cleft divided to small (9 cases), medium (20 patients) and large (26 cases). Bone volume of clefted site divided to three steps: volume 1: (mean 18.1091mm). Step 2: After 3 months volume 2 resemble amount of unhealed defect (mean 0.5109mm) and final bone volume assessment after 6 months (22.5455mm). Both show statistical significant differences in bone volume formation. Conclusion: Alloplastic bone substitute also can be used as graft material because of unlimited bone retrieval. Osteon III can be used to reconstruct the alveolus cleft smoothly and promising.
