Abstract:

ABSTRACT :
Bone grafting of the cleft maxilla and palate has caused considerable controversy and discussion .Too often clefts of the palate treated by conventional methods lead to collapse of the lesser segment of the maxilla and limit the potential of orthodontic treatment .Effects of early bone grafting on facial skeletal growth in patients with cleft lip and palate . It was shown that there were no unwarranted growth restrains compared with a similar series having no clefts .It was clear that early maxillary orthodontia and primary osteoplasty , done with care and in a planned sequence with lip and palate closure , has several advantages .
