Autogenous Bone Graft Versus Bovine Bone Graft in Association With Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Reconstruction of Alveolar Clefts: A Pilot Study

Objective: To compare the outcomes of 2 different bone graft materials: autogenous bone grafts from mandibular symphysis and bovine bone grafts associated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods: Twenty individuals met the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study. Group A patient...

Description
Summary:Objective: To compare the outcomes of 2 different bone graft materials: autogenous bone grafts from mandibular symphysis and bovine bone grafts associated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods: Twenty individuals met the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study. Group A patients underwent alveolar bone grafting using autologous bone and group B patients using a bovine bone graft associated with PRP. Cone beam computed tomography scans were taken and reconstructed 3-dimensionally for all patients preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Results: A significant reduction was detected for area and volume within group A and group B. Between groups, no significant difference was found for area or volume. Conclusions: Bovine grafts associated with PRP are a good option for the reconstruction of alveolar clefts and provide good results such as autologous bone grafts.
