BACKGROUND: Cleft lip and palate CLP is a frequent congenital malformation that manifests in several varieties including unilateral or bilateral anomalies due to either genetic or acquired causes. Alveolar cleft graft ACG remains controversial as regard timing, grafting materials and surgical techniques. The primary goal of alveolar cleft grafting in ACG patients is to provide an intact bony ridge at the cleft site to allow maxillary continuity for teeth eruption, proper orthodontic treatment for dental arch alignment, oronasal fistula closure and providing alar support for nasal symmetry. AIM: This study aims to compare different grafting techniques to treat the alveolar cleft defect. METHODS: This study included 24 cases divided into three groups of patients: Group A was treated with autogenous iliac crest bone; Group B was treated with nano calcium hydroxyapatite with collagen membrane and Group C was treated with tissue engineering method using bone marrow stem cells extract and PRF membrane. RESULTS: According to clinical and radiographic examination measuring bone density in the CT preoperatively compared to six months postoperatively. Group C with bone marrow stem cells extract showed superior results among all followed by group B, while group A with autogenous iliac crest showed resorption in some cases and gave the least values, in addition to its drawbacks as regard donor site affection with pain & scar formation. CONCLUSION: Bone substitutes as Nano calcium hydroxyapatite and bone marrow stem cells extract showed to be reliable methods for bone grafting than autogenous iliac crest.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security is the way to protect organization's network against Variety of threats which come through mobile devices and access channels. This research paper explains the implementation of BYOD security solution in higher education institution in Oman This security solution will help to protect the network data from unauthorized access, as well as, controlling unmanaged devices which are smartphones and mobile devices. This research will follow these steps starting with literature review, data collection, analysis, design the network structure with suggested solution and implementation for BYOD security solutions. As well as, monitoring the network performance with the implanted solutions to keep track if traffic flow with high availability and security. This research paper will help to facilitate the work to the network users through allowing BYOD as well as increase the network availability, ability and security through 802.1x, CA and RADius.
