The Use of Bone Repair Materials for Maxillary Alveolar Clefts

Abstract

The objective of this study is to compare the standard of care for bone regeneration, the autogenous bone graft to experimental materials consisting of a biodegradeable carrier and a bone inductive protein (BIP). The animal model for the study is the canine with artificially created bilateral maxillary alveolar clefts. The results are pending as the maxillae have only just been sent for histological slide preparation for subsequent histological and histomorphometric evaluation....
