Join us for an insightful talk on the critical aspects of alveolar bone grafting (ABG) for individuals with cleft lip and palate. The discussion will focus on the importance of timing the procedure, typically between the ages of 8 and 12, to achieve optimal outcomes for dental and facial development. Various ABG techniques, such as iliac crest bone grafting and synthetic graft materials, will be explored, with an emphasis on selecting the best approach based on the patient's condition. The talk will also cover the long-term outcomes, including the success of grafts in dental arch development, speech improvement, and preventing further deformities, while addressing potential complications and the need for ongoing care.
