CoQ10 for bone repair in cleft palate
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether Co-enzyme Q10, a natural antioxidant, helps rebuild bone in the gap left by a cleft palate. It could improve outcomes for children having bone graft surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 10 and 14 years old
- Have good oral hygiene and general health
- No genetic syndromes related to the cleft
- No other mouth problems in the upper jaw that might affect surgery
- No previous bone graft attempts or openings between the mouth and nose

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 whether taking Coenzyme Q10 (a natural supplement) can help your mouth heal faster after having a wisdom tooth or back molar removed.
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 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 ways of rebuilding the gum and bone in people born with a cleft on both sides of the upper lip. It uses a piece of bone from the hip (one block on each side) versus ground-up bone packed into the gap.
This study tests a new bone graft material made from algae, used with a collagen membrane, to help repair bone damage caused by gum disease. It might be an option if you have a deep pocket in the bone around a tooth and are healthy enough for the procedure.
