Abstract:
Secondary bone grafting of the maxilla and the residual alveolar clefts at the stage of transitional dentition, and in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, has become a well-accepted treatment modality. This article discusses the goals of the procedure, the timing of the bone graft, and the design of the flap for soft-tissue coverage of the bone graft.
