NCT ID NCT07442279
First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing bilateral alveolar clefts (gaps in the upper jaw) using bone grafts from the hip. Twenty participants will receive either a solid bone block or loose bone chips. The goal is to see which method provides better bone volume and stability after healing.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Bone graft (iliac corticocancellous bone block or autogenous particulate bone)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective surgical technique for repairing cleft palates, potentially improving bone stability and reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures involve surgery and carry risks like infection, pain, or graft failure.
Conditions
