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 surgical techniques for rebuilding the bone gap in people with cleft palate who missed earlier treatment windows. Researchers will test bone grafts taken from either the lower jaw or the hip to see which heals better and works longer.
This trial tests if adding a small stabilizing plate during a bone graft for both sides of the upper jaw helps the graft heal better than the standard method. It's for children ages 9 to 12 who have already had their cleft lip repaired.
This trial tests if using a special membrane along with bone graft helps heal cleft palate better than bone graft alone in children aged 9–12.
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 tests a new treatment that uses a child's own stem cells from a baby tooth to help repair a gap in the upper jaw bone caused by a cleft lip and palate. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard bone grafting.
