First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to fix a bone gap in the upper jaw (alveolar cleft) that often occurs with cleft palate. Instead of using loose bone particles, surgeons will use a custom-made bone plug shaped by a 3D-printed mold. The goal is to see if the plug leads to better bone fill and fewer complications like infection or graft failure. The trial involves 16 children aged 7 to 12 who have already had pre-surgical expansion.
