Compare costs of bone grafting for cleft jaw repair
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether alveolar bone graft surgery is cost-effective for people with cleft lip and palate. It may help clinics choose the most practical approach for the best outcomes while managing overall costs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cleft lip and palate (either one side or both sides)
- Your dental imaging shows a gap in the bone of the upper jaw (alveolar area)
- An orthodontist has checked your teeth and says you can safely get the bone graft surgery
- You have NOT had a previously failed attempt to repair the alveolar cleft
- You have NOT already had a successful alveolar bone graft
- Your parent/guardian agrees to be in a study that includes random assignment

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment called BIOCLEFT, made from your child's own cheek cells, to help repair a complete cleft palate on one side. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works better than standard surgery.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the gap in the upper gum (alveolar cleft) using bone taken from either the jaw or the hip. It aims to see which method works better for people who missed the earlier treatment window.
This trial compares two ways to repair a gap in the gum ridge (where teeth come through) in children with a cleft. One method uses bone from the hip with a special membrane, and the other uses bone alone. The goal is to find out which approach gives better healing and supports healthy teeth.
This trial tests a new way to repair a gap in the upper jawbone (called an alveolar cleft) using thin layers of bone, called cortical shells, taken from the patient's own body. It is for children who have not had this surgery before and who are generally healthy.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild the upper gum area in children with a cleft on both sides. One method uses a single solid piece of bone from the hip, the other uses smaller bone chips. The goal is to find which works better for a strong, healthy result.
This trial tests a new way to repair a cleft in the gum area using the child's own stem cells from baby teeth. It aims to help the bone heal better and avoid a second surgery.
