First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether a custom-made bone plug (shaped using 3D printing) works better than loose bone chips for rebuilding the gum ridge in children with cleft palate. Sixteen children aged 7 to 12 who have already had pre-surgical expansion will receive one of the two treatments. The goal is to see which method fills the bone gap more completely and produces denser bone.
