Bone grafting for cleft palate: with or without membrane
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 9 and 12 years old (based on your dental age, not just birthday).
- You are generally healthy (no serious ongoing health problems).
- You have a cleft in the gum line (alveolar cleft) that needs a bone graft.
- You do not have a hole between your mouth and nose (palatal fistula) that came back after repair.
- You do not have a genetic syndrome that causes cleft palate.
- You are not getting radiation or chemotherapy for cancer.

This trial tests a bone grafting technique to rebuild the jawbone in the back of the lower jaw, making it thick enough for dental implants. It may help people who have lost teeth in that area and need more bone to support implants.
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 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 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 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.
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.
