The current study aims to compare the double mandibular corticocancellous bone blocks technique with mandibular cancellous bone particles in between versus the double iliac corticocancellous bone blocks technique with iliac cancellous bone particles in between in the tertiary cleft grafting to find out which technique maintained better graft width, height, and volume with the least adverse effects after the healing period and hence would allow for restoration of the targeted function and esthetics and improve the cleft patients psychologically and hence improve their quality of life.

Measurement of gained bone volume after 6 months of graft healing in cubic millimeter by CBCT analysis
Measurement of gained bone volume after 6 months of graft healing in cubic millimeter by comparison between CBCT scans that will be taken postoperatively, and after 6 months postoperatively. volume assessment will be by specialized software 3D Slicer
Time frame: 6 months
