Tooth movement toward alveolar bone grafting with rhBMP-2 in a child with unilateral cleft lip and palate: Case report with long-term follow-up - 17/07/24
Summary |
The secondary alveolar bone grafting procedure is typically recommended during the late mixed dentition phase, prior to the eruption of the permanent canine, in patients with cleft lip and palate. The anatomical and functional adaptations observed in the grafted area allow spontaneous migration and eruption of the adjacent maxillary canine. An alveolar bone graft can be performed using autogenous bone or recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Employing rhBMP-2 in a collagen membrane eliminates the need for a donor site, thus reducing surgical morbidity. This paper aims to present a case involving complete orthodontic rehabilitation with a three-year follow-up of a male patient with a unilateral complete cleft lip and palate, posterior and anterior crossbite, where grafting was performed with rhBMP-2 at a single centre. Orthodontic intervention began at 8 years of age with rapid maxillary expansion, followed by facemask therapy. The alveolar bone grafting procedure was performed using rhBMP-2 in a collagen membrane, according to the surgical protocol developed by the Oslo team. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment started 15 months post bone grafting, during which the maxillary permanent lateral incisor distal to the alveolar cleft was successfully moved mesially into the grafted region. This intervention resulted in adequate occlusal and periodontal outcomes. The alveolar graft with rhBMP-2 produced adequate and stable alveolar bone formation, facilitating tooth eruption, orthodontic movement, and stability at the cleft site.
