Hip bone graft types for bilateral cleft repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cleft on both sides of the upper gum
- You are healthy enough to have surgery under general anesthesia
- There is enough soft tissue around the cleft to cover the new bone
- You (or your guardian) can give informed consent
- No uncontrolled conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis that slow bone healing

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 a narrow upper jaw bone: using a bone block from your skull (calvarial) versus one from your hip (iliac crest). It may help if you need more bone for future dental implants.
This trial tests using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
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.
