Article Abstract
The alveolar cleft is a bone-related developmental defect in the alveolar process of the maxillae, which is termed as cleft alveolus. The deformity occurs in 75% of the cleft palate and lip patients. Reconstructive surgery can provide both functional and esthetic benefits to such individuals. Conflicting opinions exist on the management of alveolar cleft, and these affect the treatment planning. We present the case of a 19-year-old female patient with a complaint of mobile teeth in the left frontal region of the upper jaw. On clinical examination, unilateral cleft alveolus was observed between the left lateral incisor and the canine region. A multidisciplinary approach was adopted, orthodontic treatment was started, and periodontal regenerative surgery was planned. This report also discusses the substitution of autogenous bone grafts with other materials such as allogenic grafts (demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft), platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin membranes, and amnion membranes, which could serve as a new line of treatment for the condition.

Background: Alveolar molding plate treatment (AMPT) plays a critical role in preparing neonates with cleft lip and palate (CLP) for the first reconstruction surgery (cleft lip repair). However, determining the number of adjustments to AMPT in near-normalizing cleft deformity prior to surgery is a challenging task, often affecting the treatment duration. This study explores the use of machine learning in predicting treatment duration based on three-dimensional (3D) assessments of the pre-treatment maxillary cleft deformity as part of individualized treatment planning.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of implant-supported prosthesis in alveolar cleft patients.
Methods: A total of 14 patients with alveolar cleft underwent implant restoration in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2015 to January 2023 were collected. Among them, 9 were male and 5 were female.

Background: The authors conducted an objective assessment of the long-term postoperative outcomes of a modified rotation advancement combined with force balance orbicularis oris muscle reconstruction in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing cleft lip primary repair were included (n = 90). Three-dimensional images preoperatively (n = 90), postoperatively (n = 90), and at 5-year follow-up (n = 57) were assessed and compared with age-matched controls.

This retrospective study evaluates the surgical accuracy of 3D virtual planning and the use of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing splints in premaxillary osteotomy combined with secondary alveolar bone grafting. The study included all consecutive patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate undergoing a premaxillary osteotomy with secondary alveolar bone grafting treated by the Cleft Team North (the Netherlands) between 2016 and 2023. 3D virtual surgical planning was based on cone beam computed tomography scans and intraoral scans or plaster models.
