Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of dental implants placed in the bone graft area of cleft patients. Electronic databases and relevant journals were searched to the end of August 2018. A total of 11 articles were eligible for systematic review considering the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then underwent risk of bias assessment. A total of 483 implants were placed and showed a survival rate of 93% after a mean follow-up of 60.5 months. The iliac bone was the most used for the reconstructive surgery in cleft patients, followed by the mandible. There is a high survival rate of dental implants placed in areas of bone grafts in patients with alveolar clefts. However, more studies with high methodological quality and with a longer follow-up are needed to offer more safety for practitioners and patients regarding the placement of dental implants in areas of alveolar clefts with bone grafting.
