Summary

This study aims to evaluate the sufficiency of Khoury shell technique for reconstruction of alveolar cleft. Khoury technique was carried out using cortical bone shell fixed away from alveolar bone using two micro-screws, which was harvested from anterior iliac bone crest. The gap between the shell cortical bone and the native alveolar bone was filled by cancellous bone which was harvested from anterior iliac crest bone. The whole graft was covered by collagen membrane. The volumetric bone gain of the defect was determined via CBCT.

Conditions

• Alveolar Cleft
• Alveolar Ridge Cleft
