NCT ID NCT07512531
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a flap from the cheek (FAMM flap) helps bone grow better when repairing a cleft in the gum area. Five people aged 9 to 20 who already had braces to widen the palate will be included. Researchers will use 3D X-rays to measure bone height, width, and the nasal floor after surgery.
