Abstract

The alveolar cleft grafting is the one of considerations for surgical global treatment of the cleft patient. However, there were the controversies in timing of surgical repair and source of graft material. Iliac bone is the popular choice of donor site for alveolar cleft grafting. The success of treatment depend on proper treatment planning and good surgical techniques. The aim of this case report is to present alveolar cleft grafting in cleft patient by using iliac cancellous bone. The case report is a 14-year-old Thai boy who was born with bilateral incomplete cleft lip and cleft palate. He was referred from the orthodontist to repair right alveolar defect. The residual right alveolar cleft and oronasal fistula were surgical correction by using autogenous iliac cancellous bone graft.No intraoperative and postoperative complication occurred. This case report showed the clinical and radiographic follow up for six months, the alveolar cleft defect was successfully reconstructed with iliac cancellous graft to achieve firm anatomic base for orthodontic and prosthodontic results.
Conclusion: The iliac cancellous bone is the alternative grafting material in alveolar cleft repair.
