Summary

This study aimed to see if using a connected toothbrush (Ara® KOLIBREE) for one month before alveolar bone graft surgery could improve oral hygiene in children aged 5 to 12 with cleft lip and palate. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The idea was that better brushing might reduce post-surgery complications like infections or graft loss.
