Extracted deciduous teeth were prepared immediately after removal according to the manufacturer's instructions with the Bonmaker® device. Ready to use autogenous tooth bone graft (ATB) was mixed with fibrin glue in 3D planned and printed plastic cuvettes to obtain a sticky graft closely matching the shape and extent of the bony defect. The preshaped sticky ATB graft was inserted and compacted in the cleft defect. Subsequently, the tension-free split thickness flap was repositioned by shifting all buccal surgical papillae mesially to the adjacent or the second adjacent interproximal space, depending on the horizontal extent of the cleft.

Radiological volumetric measurements
Volumetric measurements will be conducted after the healing period. On prealigned pre- and postoperative CBCT cross-sections, linear measurements and volumetric measurements will be taken parallel to a reference base to determine the width of the surgical area.
Time frame: 6 months
soft tissue healing
Healing of soft tissues was recorded via photo documentation.
Time frame: during the 6 months postoperatively
complications
Every complication will be reported
Time frame: 1, 14, 30 days and 3 and 6 months after surgeries.
