Micro-structured calcium phosphate ceramic for donor site repair after harvesting chin bone for grafting alveolar clefts in children

Reconstruction of large mandibular defects using autologous tissues generated from in vivo bioreactors

“…Therefore, synthetic grafts have been explored to expand or even entirely replace autograft with success in craniofacial surgery [16,17]. In this study, specimens from the SG group showed significantly less BV/TV (Fig.…”

Chin Bone Graft for Maxillary Alveolar Cleft

“…25 However, surgical defect remained in 12% of cases in our service despite monocortical bone harvesting from the chin. 25 However, surgical defect remained in 12% of cases in our service despite monocortical bone harvesting from the chin.…”

Micro-structured Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for Repair of the Alveolar Cleft in Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: A Pilot Study

“…Histological data could not be provided since in the Netherlands, taking biopsies in humans for research purposes is strictly forbidden. But in a previous study, we were able to take a biopsy from the area of the chin from which bone had been harvested and then filled with the micro-structured calcium phosphate more than 18 months previously (De Ruiter et al, 2013). The biopsy was taken during a necessary reentry and with strict permission from patient and parents.…”
