Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical effect of improved alveolar cleft repair with bone grafting. METHODS: Forty one cases with alveolar cleft treated by modified operation between 2008-2016 were included. The modified techniques were as follow: incision design, preparation of bone graft bed, bone removal and bone grafting, etc. The therapeutic effect was analyzed. RESULTS: The successful rate was 92.8%. After 6-12 months of follow-up, bone graft survived well with no obvious complications. CONCLUSIONS: Iliac bone is a good source for bone graft. Improvement of tight tension-free suture in bone bed is the key to surgical success.
