Title: Three-dimensional Assessment of Autologous Calvarial Bone Grafting for Alveolar Clefts Reconstruction in Pediatric Population: A Retrospective Study. Author: Bagnarosa T, Ferri J, Grégoire G, Baralle MM, Drumez E, Touzet-Roumazeille S. Journal: J Craniofac Surg; ; 34(1):70-75. PubMed ID: 35949036. Abstract: Reconstruction of alveolar clefts using cancellous bone graft is associated with a high rate of resorption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration capacity of cortical calvarial bone grafting using 3-dimensional imaging assessment for alveolar cleft reconstruction in pediatric population.All alveolar bone grafting procedures performed between January 2015 and October 2017 in the maxillofacial surgery department of Lille University Hospital were included. All patients were evaluated clinically and by 3-dimensional imaging before bone grafting and at 3 months after surgery. Cleft and bone graft volumes were assessed using Horos software, v. 3.3.5, through a segmentation process. The bone filled ratio at 3 months after surgery was calculated. A total of 48 alveolar bone grafting procedures were performed in 37 patients: 3 unilateral cleft lip and alveolar, 20 unilateral cleft lip and palate, and 25 bilateral full cleft lip and palate (3 patients had only unilateral surgery). The mean bone filled ratio was 72.27%±23.65%, 81% for unilateral cleft lip and alveolus, 75.4%±20.6 for unilateral cleft lip and palate, and 65.5%±30 for bilateral complete cleft lip and palate ( P =0.1981). Calvarial bone grafting seems to be a relevant alternative to other donor sites for alveolar cleft reconstruction.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
