To three-dimensionally assess and visualize the eruption path and development of the maxillary canine following alveolar bone grafting in patients born with cleft lip and palate. A further objective of this analysis was to assess how the presence of the lateral incisor impacts the eruption path of the canine. Observational follow-up study. Stockholm Craniofacial Team, Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden. Thirty children born with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip with or without palate were consecutively included. CBCT scans of the maxilla were taken six months before and six months after the alveolar bone-grafting surgery for each patient. Canine eruption (angulation and vertical movement) and canine development (length and volume). There was a significant difference pre- and post-operatively of the canine angulation between the cleft and non-cleft sides. The mean angulation on the cleft side was 14.7° (SD  =  11.1°) while on the non-cleft side, it was 4.9° (SD  =  9.2°). No significant differences were noted between cleft-side and non-cleft side canines in terms of amount of vertical eruption and volumetric development. Absence of the lateral incisor did not significantly contribute to either canine angulation or its vertical eruption on the cleft-side. Higher angulation of the canine on the cleft side indicates a higher risk of future canine impaction. Presence or absence of the lateral incisor did not significantly affect canine angulation or its vertical eruption. Increased age and children born with total cleft lip and palate imply a higher risk of angulated canines on the cleft side.

Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting

Secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) is associated with donor site morbidities. We aimed to compare the outcomes of SABG and extensive gingivoperiosteoplasty (EGPP) at the mixed dentition stage. This single-blinded, randomized, prospective trial enrolled 50 consecutive patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate who had residual alveolar bone cleft, of which 44 (19 SABG, 25 EGPP) completed the study. Bone volumes before surgery, 6 months postoperatively, and 1-year postoperatively were compared using computed tomography. The Bergland scale score was recorded at 6 months postoperatively. Both groups had the same preoperative alveolar cleft volume. On the Bergland scale, 21, 3, and 1 patient in the EGPP group and 16, 2, and 1 patient in the SABG group were classified as types I, II, and IV, respectively, which did not show significant difference. With perioperative orthodontic treatment, the 1-year residual bone defect volume in both groups did not show significant difference (SABG 0.12 cm3 vs. EGPP at 0.14 cm3, p > 0.05). The study was not able to reveal much difference between SABG and EGPP combined with perioperative orthodontic treatment.

Alveolar Bone Grafting

Objective: To examine the effect of migration of the germ of the lateral incisor into the bone for eruption factors on bone bridge resorption. Methods: Twenty-five subjects who underwent secondary alveolar bone graft were enrolled. The volume of the alveolar bone grafts immediately after the operation (V1), bone bridge formation 6 months postoperatively (V2), and tooth (teeth) migration into the bone bridge (Vt) were measured using a computed tomography (CT) image analyzer. Based upon these measurements, the following points were examined: (1) the correlation between the tooth-occupied ratio (Rt = Vt/V2 × 100) and the ratio of bone bridge resorption (Rv = (V1 − V2)/ V1 × 100); and (2) comparison of the tooth-occupied ratio (Rt) and the ratio of bone bridge resorption (Rv) between the groups with and without the germ of the lateral incisor. Results: A significant negative correlation was found between Rv and Rt (p < .001). Comparison of Rv and Rt between the groups with and without a germ of the lateral incisor revealed that both indices were significantly higher in the former group than the latter one (p < .05). Conclusion: In cleft lip and palate patients with a germ of the lateral incisor, it is beneficial to carry out secondary bone grafting to the alveolar cleft at the age of 5 to 7 years, preceding eruption of the canine, in order to form a good bone bridge that will facilitate eruption of the lateral incisor and subsequent normal dentition and occlusion.

Objective: To quantify dental anomalies in permanent dentition associated with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate and to survey treatment modalities used to address these problems. Method: Retrospective study of 116 children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate treated at SickKids since birth. Presence and morphology of lateral incisors and second premolars were determined. Orthodontic, surgical, and/or prosthetic procedures were analyzed. Results: The cleft-side lateral incisor was absent in 93.1% of finished cases. The lateral incisor mesial to the cleft was present in 4.3%, absent due to agenesis in 75.9%, and extracted in 19.8% of cases. The lateral distal to the cleft was present in 2.6%, absent due to agenesis in 33.6%, and extracted in 63.8% of cases. Of 105 lateral incisors, only one had normal morphology. Noncleft-side lateral incisors were absent in 16% of finished cases. Absence was due to agenesis in 12.1% of cases and extraction in 4.3%. When the lateral incisor was missing, closure of the dental space occurred by orthodontic tooth movement after alveolar bone grafting (45%); surgical closure with simultaneous alveolar bone grafting (35%); prosthetic closure (17%); and 3% were failures. Agenesis of premolars occurred in 12.1% of cleft-side and 10.3% of noncleft-side maxillary second premolars. Conclusions: The cleft-side lateral incisor is rarely present at the conclusion of orthodontic and surgical treatment of complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Often absent due to agenesis, when present it is typically abnormal in size and bone support and is commonly extracted in favor of canine substitution.

Bone Height

Objective: To identify factors of oral health important for the final outcome, after secondary alveolar bone grafting in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate and compare occlusal radiographs with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessment of alveolar bone height. Design: Observational follow-up study. Setting: Cleft Lip and Palate Team, Craniofacial Center, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Patients: 40 nonsyndromic, Caucasian patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. Interventions: Clinical examination, CBCT, and occlusal radiographs. Main Outcome Measurements: Alveolar bone height was evaluated according to Bergland index at a 20-year follow-up. Results: The alveolar bone height in the cleft area was significantly reduced compared to a previously reported 10-year follow-up in the same cohort by total ( P = .045) and by subgroup with dental restoration ( P = .0078). This was positively correlated with the gingival bleeding index (GBI) ( r = 0.51, P = .0008) and presence of dental restorations in the cleft area ( r = 0.45, P = .0170). There was no difference in the Bergland index generated from scoring the alveolar bone height on occlusal radiographs as with the equivalent index on CBCT. Conclusion: Patients rehabilitated with complex dental restoration seems to be at higher risk for progression of bone loss in the cleft area. Supportive periodontal therapy should be implemented after complex dental restorations in cleft patients. Conventional occlusal radiographs provide an adequate image for evaluating postoperative bone height in clinical follow-up.

Objective To report the surgical outcomes of secondary alveolar bone grafting with premaxillary osteotomy in a single surgeon cohort of complete bilateral cleft lip and palate patients. Design Retrospective review of 44 consecutive patients using hospital notes and radiographs. Setting Single specialist cleft lip and palate center, UK. Patients Consecutive patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate who were being treated with secondary alveolar bone grafting incorporating premaxillary osteotomy. Outcome Measures Assessment of success of bone graft by Kindelan score; canine eruption; closure of fistulae and assessment of morbidity. Results Between January 6, 2000, and August 8, 2013, 44 patients with complete BCLP underwent secondary ABG with a premaxillary osteotomy as a one-stage procedure. The mean follow-up was 7.3 years (range 1.4 to 14.6). Eighty-five percent of ABGs were successful (a Kindelan score of 1 or 2), and canine eruption was 89%. Failure of the ABG occurred in 7%. Fistulae recurrence rate was 11%, all of which were asymptomatic. No premaxillae were devitalized. Conclusion Incorporating a premaxillary osteotomy into the secondary ABG surgical protocol can be a safe technique that gives excellent surgical exposure for fistula repair.

ABSTRACTIn patients with cleft lip and palate, bone grafting in the mixed dentition in the residual alveolar cleft has become a well-established procedure. The main advantages can be summarised as follows: stabilisation of the maxillary arch; facilitation of eruption of the canine and sometimes facilitation of the lateral incisor eruption; providing bony support to the teeth adjacent to the cleft; raising the alar base of the nose; facilitation of closure of an oro-nasal fistula; making it possible to insert a titanium fixture in the grafted site and to obtain favourable periodontal conditions of the teeth within and adjacent to the cleft. The timing of the ABG surgery take into consideration not only eruption of the canine but also that of the lateral incisor, if present. The best time for bone grafting surgery is when a thin shell of bone still covers the soon erupting lateral incisor or canine tooth close to the cleft.

Abstract There are controversies related to the effects of bone grafts on tooth eruption and impaction in patients with cleft lip and palate. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of bone grafting on eruption of canines in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). An electronic search was conducted in six electronic databases and gray literature, without limitations on year of publication or language. The primary outcome was the increase in rate of canine eruption; the secondary outcomes were success of the bone graft, canine impaction due to agenesis of the lateral incisor, and effect of orthodontic treatment before and after bone grafting. The risk of bias was analyzed by means of the tool Cochrane risk of bias in nonrandomized controlled trials (NRCTs) of interventions (ROBINS-I). The certainty of the evidence was assessed for outcomes reported through a narrative synthesis using grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) approach. Four NRCTs were included, with a total of 360 patients, 283 UCLP and 77 bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). The studies reported association between the increase in the rate of tooth eruption and bone graft with very low certainty of evidence, and greater experience of surgical success, with low certainty of evidence. The majority of the studies found an association between increase in the rate of canine impaction and agenesis of the lateral incisor, with very low certainty of evidence. There was very low certainty of the efficacy of secondary alveolar bone grafting for increasing the rates of eruption and reducing impaction of the maxillary canine.
