Background: We evaluated and compared the outcomes of different ossification processes in patients with alveolar cleft in whom correction was performed using endochondral bone graft or intramembranous bone graft. Methods: The patients were divided into two groups: the endochondral bone (iliac bone or rib bone) graft group and the intramembranous bone (mandibular bone) graft group. Medical records and radiologic images of patients who underwent alveolar bone grafting due to alveolar cleft were analyzed retrospectively. Through postoperative and follow-up radiologic images, the height of the interdental bone septum was classified into four types based on the highest point of alveolar ridge. Then, the height of the interdental bone septum and the area of the bone graft were evaluated according to the type of bone graft. In addition, the occurrence of complications and the need for an additional bone graft, the result of postoperative orthodontic treatment, and the eruption of impacted teeth were investigated. Results: Thirty patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference in the change of the interdental bone height and the area of the bone graft according to the type of bone. There was no significant difference in the success rate of the surgery according to the type of bone. One patient underwent an additional bone graft surgery during the follow-up period. Conclusions: The outcomes of alveolar bone grafting were not significantly different according to the type of bone graft. If appropriate to the size of the recipient site, the chin bone is a useful graft material in alveolar cleft, as is the iliac bone.

Purpose: The most widely accepted protocol for alveolar cleft reconstruction is to repair it during the mixed dentition stage. There were lower resorption rate (about 88%) at this stage. However we found some cases that need repeated bone grafting. Therefore we sought to analyze the cause of repeated alveolar bone grafting in connection with other factors. Methods: From January 2000 to January 2006, thirty-nine secondary alveolar bone grafts with iliac crest spongiosa were carried out. In 39 patients, 5 patients who had significant bone graft resorption received repeated alveolar bone graft. In all the cases, the causes of repeated bone grafts were dental root exposure(angulation), and the deficiency of the bony support for lateral incisor or canine eruption. In 3 cases, there was deficiency of the alveolar bone at the cleft side. There was the need of repeated bone grafts for orthodontic treatment in 2 cases and for application of dental implants in 1 case. Results: During the follow-up period, the clinical and radiologic examinations showed that repeated alveolar bone grafts were maintained successfully without any complications. The volume of the repeated bone graft was sufficient for orthodontic treatment and implantation. Conclusion: The essential conditions for successful alveolar bone grafting includes the status of cleft sided teeth, further treatment and planed schedule, as well as canine eruption. Alveolar bone grafting has to be performed with difference of each case in mind.

Background: The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prognosis of minimal invasive horizontal ridge augmentation (MIHRA) technique using small incision and subperiosteal tunneling technique. Methods: This study targeted 25 partially edentulous patients (10 males and 15 females, mean age $48.8{\pm19.7years$) who needed bone graft for installation of the implants due to alveolar bone deficiency. The patients took the radiographic exam, panoramic and periapical view at first visit, and had implant fixture installation surgery. All patients received immediate or delayed implant surgery with bone graft using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique. After an average of 2.8 months, the prosthesis was connected and functioned. The clinical prognosis was recorded by observation of the peri-implant tissue at every visit. A year after restoration, the crestal bone loss around the implant was measured by taking the follow-up radiographs. One patient took 3D-CT before bone graft, after bone graft, and 2 years after restoration to compare and analyze change of alveolar bone width. Results: This study included 25 patients and 39 implants. Thirty eight implants (97.4 %) survived. As for postoperative complications, five patients showed minor infection symptoms, like swelling and tenderness after bone graft. The other one had buccal fenestration, and secondary bone graft was done by the same technique. No complications related with bone graft were found except in these patients. The mean crestal bone loss around the implants was 0.03 mm 1 year after restoration, and this was an adequate clinical prognosis. A patient took 3D-CT after bone graft, and the width of alveolar bone increased 4.32 mm added to 4.6 mm of former alveolar bone width. Two years after bone graft, the width of alveolar bone was 8.13 mm, and this suggested that the resorption rate of bone graft material was 18.29 % during 2 years. Conclusions: The bone graft material retained within a pouch formed using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique resulted with a few complications, and the prognosis of the implants placed above the alveolar bone was adequate.

Alveolar bone grafting is an essential component of successful surgical rehabilitation in many common cleft deformities. Primary alveolar bone grafting is defined as alveolar bone grafting which takes place before eruption of the primary dentition or before 1 year of age. The major objective in primary alveolar bone grafting is to prevent significant maxillary segmental collapse and arch disturbances. If severe, this can make secondary rehabilitation difficult, costly, and protracted. Such early stabilization may eliminate or, at least, decrease the amount of orthodontic arch expansion required during the transitional dentition period. Furthermore, early obliteration of alveolus fistulae improves speech and dental hygiene. It is critical that abutting maxillary segmental alignment be achieved(generally when the patient is 8 to 10 months of age) before grafting. Otherwise, the amount of dissection necessary to develop mucosal flaps for bone graft coverage will be more extensive, thus risking increased scar formation with potential adverse effects on growth We report a preliminary result of 4 cases of primary alveolar bone graft using rib bone, performed by limited dissection and onlay graft technique at 8 to 10 months of age. They showed satisfactory clinical results especially in terms of growth up to now.

Alveolar cleft is a congenital anomaly with a frequency of 0.18-2.50 per 1,000 births, which invades the bone of maxillary arch. Iliac crestal bone graft, considered as the gold standard for treatment of alveolar cleft, is a commonly used material due to its abundant mass, ease of harvesting, and the advantages of simultaneous operation with alveolar cleft reconstruction surgery. Despite many advantages of Iliac crestal bone graft, many studies have been conducted on alternative and additional materials for secondary alveolar bone graft in consideration of the disadvantages of iliac crest bone graft. Autogenous bone grafts from other donor sites, such as cranium, mandible and tibia can be used as an alternative with lower morbidity and lower bone resorption. Bone-tissue engineering strategies such as scaffolds, growth factors have also shown promising results in treatment of alveolar cleft. In addition, the use of Platelet-Rich-Fibrin/Plasma with abundant growth factors and osteoinducibility can increase bone maintenance and achieve better results. Therefore, here we review the various bone graft methods used in reconstruction of alveolar cleft.

치조열 환자의 골이식과 관련된 치료계획 수립과 골이식재, 골이식 시기, 교정치료 시기 등 치료방법의 선택에 도움을 주는 자료로 삼고자, 1992년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지 전남대학교병원 구강악안면외과에서 골이식술을 시행한 치조열 환자중 추적검사가 가능한 31명을 대상으로 골이식술과 관련된 여러 가지 항목들과 술후 치조열부의 변연골 높이에 대하여 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 성별 분포는 남성(64.5%)이 여성(35.5%)보다 많았고, 남녀성비는 1.8 : 1이었다. 골이식시 연령은 이차 골이식기에 해당하는 6세에서 16세 사이(58.1%)가 많았고, 연령의 범위는 2세부터 33세까지였으며 평균연령은 11세였다. 치조열의 분류에 따른 분포는 편측성(93.5%)이 대부분이었고 그중 좌측(74.2%)이 많았다. 결손치로는 측절치가 많았고 과잉치는 측절치와 견치 사이에서 많이 관찰되었다. 술전 교합상태는 III급 부정교합 및 전치부 교차교합(65.1%)이 가장 많았고, 교정치료는 술전과 술후에 비슷하게 시행되었다. 골이식시 동시 시행한 수술로는 이차 구순수 정술이 가장 많았고, 술후 합병증으로는 골결손이 6례, 구비루가 1례, 열개가 3례 발생되었다. 골이식재로는 PMCB와 DFDB가 사용되었고 술후 변연골의 높이는 PMCB를 이식한 경우에 DFDB를 이식한 경우보다 높았으며, PMCB를 이식한 경우에는 변연골의 높이가 증가되었으나 DFDB에서는 변화가 없었다. The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment plan and treatment procedure such as bone graft material, timing of bone graft and orthodontic treatment in 31 alveolar cleft bone graft patients treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam University Hospital from Jan. 1992 to Dec. 1996. Results obtained were as follows : In total 31 patients of alveolar bone grafts, males(64.5%) were more than females(35.5%). The patients' age ranged between 2 - 33 years of age. Secondary bone grafting was the highest incidence(58.1%) when procedures were undertaken in patients between 6 - 16 years of age. In distribution of cleft side, unilateral clefts(93.5%) were the major part with the left side was larger than the right side. The Missing teeth were found most in lateral incisor, the supernumary teeth were found most between lateral incisor and canine. The most common occlusion before operation was class III malocclusion and anterior cross-bite(65.1%), orthodontic treatment was performed similarly between before and after the bone graft. The most common combined operation with alveolar bone graft was secondary cheiloplasty. The complications were 6 cases of bone defect, a case of oronasal fistula, 3 cases of dehiscence. PMCB and DFDB were used bone graft materials. In marginal bone height after operation, PMCB grafts were higher than DFDB grafts and marginal bone level was increased in the PMCB group but not in the DFDB group.

Lee, Nam-Hoon,Ohe, Joo-Young,Lee, Baek-Soo,Kwon, Yong-Dae,Choi, Byung-Joon,Bang, Sung-Moon Korean Academy of Dental Science 2010 Journal of korean dental science Vol.3 No.2

Purpose: This study aimed at examining the thickness of lateral cortical bone in the mandibular posterior body and the location of the inferior alveolar nerve canal as well as investigating the clinically viable bone grafting site(s) and proper thickness of the bone grafts. Subjects and Methods: The study enrolled a total of 49 patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital to have their lower third molar extracted and received cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations. Their CBCT data were used for the study. The thickness of lateral cortical bone and the location of inferior alveolar nerve canal were each measured from the buccal midpoint of the patients' lower first molar to the mandibular ramus area in the occlusal plane of the molar area. Results: Except in the external oblique ridge and alveolar ridge, all measured areas exhibited the greatest cortical bone thickness near the lower second molar area and the smallest cortical bone thickness in the retromolar area. The inferior alveolar nerve canal was found to be located in the innermost site near the lower second molar area compared to other areas. In addition, the greatest thickness of the trabecular bone was found between the inferior alveolar nerve canal and the lateral cortical bone. Conclusions: In actual clinical settings involving bone harvesting in the posterior mandibular body, clinicians are advised to avoid locating the osteotomy line in the retromolar area to help protect the inferior alveolar nerve canal from damage. Harvesting the bone near the lower second molar area is judged to be the proper way of securing cortical bone with the greatest thickness.

Correction of alveolar cleft with bone grafting has become a well-established step in the integral management of cleft lip and palate patients. Secondary bone graft at mixed dentition is a widely accepted protocol and iliac bone graft is recommended as the gold standard by a multitude of cleft centers. However, grave morbidities of the iliac donor site have discouraged cleft surgeons from adopting this reliable method. In this study, percutaneous bone biopsy set was used to avoid the morbidities of conventional iliac bone graft. Iliac bone graft was performed on 20 patients with alveolar cleft during the period from January 1995 to February 1999. The tube saw of the bone biopsy set was introduced through a small incision of less than 1 cm, and cancellous bone cores were harvested from the iliac crest. After the pericoronal incision, a wide gingival mucoperiosteal flap was elevated at both sides of the cleft. A soft tissue pocket that was created by closure of the nasal and palatal lining was filled with harvested bone cores. Medial transposition and water-tight closure of both gingival mucoperiosteal flaps provided coverage of the bone graft. During the follow-up period from 5 to 50 months(mean, 29 months), completion of the goals of the alveolar bone graft was observed. There was no serious complication except for one case the exposure of the bone graft, and this was resolved spontaneously. Bone harvest with a percutaneous bone biopsy set enables early ambulation by reducing postoperative pain, and it may be faster and simpler than any other method introduced so far. Furthermore, blood loss was minimal, while the scar was small and acceptable. Iliac bone graft with percutaneous bone biopsy is a reliable method for correction of the alveolar cleft and it has many advantages over conventional iliac bone graft and other sources of bone.

Objectives: The posterior maxillary region often provides a limited bone volume for dental implants. Maxillary sinus elevation via inserting a bone graft through a window opened in the lateral sinus wall has become the most common surgical procedure for increasing the alveolar bone height in place of dental implants in the posterior maxillary region. The purpose of this article is to assess the change of bone volume and the clinical effects of dental implant placement in sites with maxillary sinus floor elevation and autogenous bone graft through the lateral window approach. Materials and Methods: In this article, the analysis data were collected from 64 dental implants that were placed in 24 patients with 29 lacks of the bone volume posterior maxillary region from June 2004 to April 2011, at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Inha University Hospital. Panoramic views were taken before the surgery, after the surgery, 6 months after the surgery, and at the time of the final follow-up. The influence of the factors on the grafted bone material resorption rate was evaluated according to the patient characteristics (age and gender), graft material, implant installation stage, implant size, implant placement region, local infection, surgical complication, and residual alveolar bone height. Results: The bone graft resorption rate of male patients at the final follow-up was significantly higher than the rate of female patients. The single autogenous bone-grafted site was significantly more resorbed than the autogenous bone combined with the Bio-Oss grafted site. The implant installation stage and residual alveolar height showed a significant correlation with the resorption rate of maxillary sinus bone graft material. The success rate and survival rate of the implant were 92.2% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: Maxillary sinus elevation procedure with autogenous bone graft or autogenous bone in combination with Bio-Oss is a predictable treatment method for implant rehabilitation.
