Summary: Secondary alveolar bone grafting with autologous bone from the iliac crest is an important surgical procedure for repairing residual alveolar cleft in patients with previous cleft lip and palate repair. The study identifies age at operation as the most significant predictor of graft failure and recommends surgery before the age of 9 for optimal outcomes.

Summary: This study found a tendency towards larger alveolar volume in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate following earlier timing of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG). However, further research on a larger group of patients is needed before any clinical indications can be formulated.

Summary: This study compared the surgical techniques and outcomes of treating scaphoid nonunion with bovine xenografts or vascularized autografts, finding no significant differences in bone healing and functional results between the two groups, but a significant difference in favor of xenografts in terms of duration of surgical intervention.

Summary: A comparison study of gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP) and secondary alveolar bone grafting (ABG) for complete bilateral alveolar cleft cases in the mixed dentition stage showed that both techniques had similar clinical success rates and complication rates.

Summary: This study investigated the alveolar bone density and thickness in Chinese participants with and without periodontitis. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to evaluate alveolar bone loss, density, and thickness. The results showed significant differences in alveolar bone density and thickness between the healthy and periodontitis groups, with reduced thickness and density in periodontally diseased teeth.

Summary: Patients with prolonged edentulism face challenges in replacing missing teeth. The use of non-resorbable and resorbable membranes in guided bone regeneration showed similar efficacy. However, further research is needed to draw conclusive results due to the low quality of evidence.

Summary: This study compared the performance of xenograft and biomimetic synthetic graft in alveolar defects in minipigs. The biomimetic synthetic graft exhibited significantly larger grafted volume than the xenograft. Anterior sites preserved better volume than posterior sites, and regeneration time had a positive effect on grafted volume. Both biomaterials met the requirements for bone grafting, with granule morphology identified as an important factor for good volume preservation.

Summary: This study found that alveolar ridge preservation with primary flap closure can result in less soft tissue shrinkage compared to ARP without primary flap closure. The selection of an appropriate incision site during ARP is also crucial.

Summary: Autogenous tooth graft is an innovative technique using human teeth as a source of bone graft, which shows promise for maxillary and mandibular defect regeneration and can be used in sinus and ridge augmentations.

Summary: The study evaluated alveolar bone remodeling after tooth extraction in a rabbit model, with or without the use of a collagen plug, through micro-computed tomography. It found that sockets treated with the collagen plug showed significantly less dimensional resorption compared to the natural-healing group.

Summary: This study elaborates on three methods for evaluating progressive bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with cleft lip and palate undergoing alveolar bone grafting (ABG). The research found a significant increase in BMD of grafted tissue during a 2-year postoperative follow-up. The volume of the grafted tissue remained stable between two time points, and there was no significant correlation between density enhancement rate and volume loss.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of using bone-block substitute materials with or without recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) on new bone formation. The results showed that rhBMP-2 enhanced new bone formation in all experimental groups, with DBBM blocks resulting in greater new bone area compared to synthetic blocks at 2 weeks. However, there was no significant difference in new bone formation between DBBM and synthetic blocks with rhBMP-2 at 12 weeks.

Summary: The interdisciplinary approach to primary and secondary surgical procedures has been beneficial for patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. In neonates, naso-alveolar molding (NAM) can optimize aesthetics and arch re-approximation for GPP. Arch preparation/expansion before secondary ABG during mixed dentition stage improves arch morphology and functional interarch relationship. Integrating ABG and GPP with PSIO procedures like NAM could benefit patients in the long term.

Summary: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine if there is a difference in implant treatment outcomes between horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using xenogenic block and autogenous bone block. The results showed that there was no significant difference in implant survival rate, alveolar ridge width, or gain of alveolar ridge width between the two methods. However, complications such as dehiscences, graft exposure, and graft failure were observed in some studies. Further research is needed to investigate these complications and assess long-term results on implant survival rate.

Summary: This study retrospectively compared the results of implant treatment after ARP using two different rhBMP-2 carriers. The stability and marginal bone loss of implants in both groups showed no significant difference, indicating a good prognosis with both delivery systems.
