The concept of dental rehabilitation using titanium implants has gradually merged into our routine treatment for patients with cleft lip and palate. In this report we describe our surgical technique using osseointegrated titanium implants and evaluate our result in patients with cleft lip and palate. Sixteen patients with cleft lip and palate, 11 men and five women, were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of six patients who did not need bone grafting prior to the fixture installation, and group 2 comprised 10 patients who had additional bone grafting three months before the fixture installation. Abutments were applied six months after fixture installation. Dental crowns and fixed bridges were then constructed. All patients were seen on regular follow-up visits. Routine roentgenograms were obtained preoperatively and when the abutments were applied. Photographs were taken at these occasions and also after ...Continue Reading
