Summary
Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) aids in planning bone grafting for maxillary cleft alveolus. This technology improves surgical preparation for complex cleft lip and palate reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Plastic Surgery
- Radiology
- Dental Medicine
Background:
- Cleft lip and palate (CLP) deformities present complex surgical challenges.
- Reconstruction requires multidisciplinary collaboration across surgery, dentistry, and medicine.
- Accurate preoperative assessment is crucial for successful outcomes.
