New bone graft method shows promise for kids with cleft palate
NCT ID NCT06621719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different bone graft materials to repair a common birth defect called alveolar cleft (a gap in the upper jaw). Fourteen children aged 8 to 12 received either a standard graft or one mixed with a special blood product. The goal was to see which material led to better bone healing and less bone loss over six months.
