Summary For secondary alveolar bone grafting in cleft patients, the success of bone graft take is dependent upon creating an ideal environment for both bony and soft tissue healing. This is particularly challenging in patients with existing fistulas, wide clefts, and bilateral alveolar clefts, where large soft tissue mobilization is required to get a tensionless repair, and micro-motion around the bone graft is significantly higher. Herein we describe our method for manufacture and placement of a custom postoperative maxillary splint following secondary alveolar bone grafting. Our splint encompasses the palate and alveolus to stabilize the maxillary arch and protect the incision lines during healing. We find our splint to be a useful adjunct to facilitate postoperative healing following secondary alveolar bone grafting. |
