Evaluation of bone volume following bone grafting in patients with unilateral clefts of lip, alveolus and palate using a CT-guided three-dimensional navigation system

A quantitative radiological assessment of outcomes of autogenous bone graft combined with platelet-rich plasma in the alveolar cleft

“…FEICHTINGER et al 5 and ROSENSTEIN et al 16 have recommended using threedimensional CT (3D CT) to obtain specific results on the volume and width of the bone bridge. Radiation exposure of pediatric patients and the costs of 3D CT are greater than for other examinations.…”

Oral cleft volumetric assessment by 3D multislice computed tomographic images

“…OBEROI et al 15 , who used thinner slices, identified resorption of only 16% of the grafted bone, whilst FEICHTINGER et al 8 , using thicker slices, identified resorption of 51%. According to OBEROI et al 15 this lower rate of resorption can be explained by the fact that the examination was more reliable when thin slices were used.…”

Early secondary closure of alveolar clefts with mandibular symphyseal bone grafts and β-tri calcium phosphate (β-TCP)

“…12,19,36,38 The advantage is that the cleft can be visualized in three dimensions and a high level of standardization can be achieved. 38 ROSENSTEIN et al 32 compared periapical and occlusal radiographs with three dimensional (3D) calculations from CT scans regarding bony support for cleftadjacent teeth following early alveolar bone grafting.…”
