radiographic and clinical assessment of alveolar cleft grafting using Allograft mixed with BMAC compared to the standard protocol of anterior iliac crest cancellous bone grafting
In the study group BMAC is collected after processing of bone marrow aspirated from anterior iliac crest using a stab incision and a specialized trocar with no surgical intervention at donor site. The BMAC will be mixed with allow graft and used for alveolar cleft grafting In the control group the standard protocol for alveolar cleft grafting will be used which is surgical exposure of the anterior iliac crest and harvesting of cancellous bone particles.
