Current status and research progress in dental implant treatment for alveolar cleft patients

Abstract

Abstract: Cleft lip and palate are common congenital craniofacial anomalies often accompanied by alveolar clefts and missing teeth. Traditional restoration methods for patients with alveolar clefts typically involve fixed or removable partial dentures. Bone grafting and dental implant treatments offer more options for better results. However, there is currently no standardized approach to bone augmentation in alveolar cleft patients, which can affect the success of dental implants. This review will summarize the influence of bone grafting on dental implant restoration in patients with alveolar clefts, the factors affecting the treatment outcomes, as well as the common challenges and clinical effects of implant restoration, to help patients with cleft lip and palate achieve more ideal treatment results.

Key words: Cleft lip and palate, Alveolar cleft, Dental implants, Bone graft, Bone reconstruction
