Abstract

Background: Cleft lip and palate are the most frequent congenital malformations in the maxillofacial area. Objectives: Description of clinical characteristics in patients with alveolar cleft who are indicated for dental bone grafting using platelet-rich fibrin at Central Dental Hospital HCMC. Materials and methods: A descriptive study of a series of clinical cases was conducted 39 patients with cleft lip and palate at Central Dental Hospital HCMC. During the study period of January 2020 to June 2022, these individuals were indicated for unilateral alveolar cleft bone graft surgery. Results: The study results showed that the median age of the patients was 14, with an interquartile range of 10 to 18. More than half of the participants were over the age of 12, with the most (64.1%) being male. The majority of patients (51.3%) had a bone cleft in the left alveolar cavity, and 64.1% received surgery on the left side. The median (interquartile range) of the shortest cervical distance of the two teeth nearest to the cleft and the distance of the alveolar cleft were 8.88 (6.45-12.1) and 3.27 (2.09-5.01), respectively. Correlation between teeth in the upper and lower direction of the two teeth close to the cleft has a median of 7.06 and an interquartile range of 6.18-9.39. Conclusion: The optimal age for surgery is 7-12 years old. Children with alveolar cleft should be advised to have surgery within this time period for the best results.
