Summary

This study tests whether adding metformin gel to a standard bone graft improves bone quality in children aged 8-12 with a cleft in the upper jaw (alveolar cleft). Half of the 36 participants will receive the metformin-enhanced graft; the other half will get a placebo. The goal is to see if the metformin helps the bone heal stronger and denser.
