Summary

This randomized clinical trial evaluated whether adding autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) to a bovine-derived bone graft improves healing and bone regeneration in patients undergoing reconstruction of a unilateral alveolar cleft. Sixteen participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either bovine bone graft combined with BMAC or bovine bone graft alone. Participants were followed for 6 months. Clinical assessments included postoperative pain, soft-tissue healing, fistula recurrence, and tooth eruption. Radiographic assessments included alveolar bone level, CT-derived graft radiodensity, and three-dimensional volumetric measurements of graft integration, resorption, and defect fill.

Conditions

  • Unilateral Alveolar Cleft of Maxilla

Interventions

PROCEDURE

BMAC-Enriched Bovine Bone Grafting

Autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) was prepared from bone marrow aspirated from the anterior iliac crest and combined with bovine-derived particulate bone graft. BMAC was mixed with the graft at a ratio of 1 mL per 1 cc approximately 10 minutes before implantation into the alveolar cleft defect.

PROCEDURE

Bovine Bone Grafting

The unilateral alveolar cleft defect was reconstructed using bovine-derived particulate bone graft without the addition of BMAC.
