Purpose: To analyse the results of using Bioglass to repair alveolar cleft.
Methods: Thirty-nine cases with alveolar cleft were divided into two groups. In group A, autogenous iliac cancellous bone were transplanted into the cleft to repair alveolar defect in 25 cases, while artificial bone-Bioglass was used in group B of 14 cases. The results of two groups were compared with a follow up of 12 months.
Results: New bone formation was perfect in grafted area and canines can emerge from the bone grafted areas observed from the X-ray films both in group A and group B. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between group A and group B in the clinical success rate of alveolar cleft repair. However, there was significant difference between complete alveolar cleft and incomplete alveolar cleft in group A and group B.
Conclusion: Bioglass can result in new bone formation and eruption of canines from the bone grafted areas. The application of Bioglass in repairing of alveolar cleft provides a new therapy for alveolar cleft patients.

To explore the application of modified Von Langenbeck cleft palate repair with tension-free mucoperiosteal flap near the nasal cavity and without relaxation incision, and the cleft palate defect was repaired by covering both sides of the edge of the in situ mucoperiosteal flap. This treatment method provides a good aesthetic restoration effect. Modified Von Langenbeck cleft palate repair with mucoperiosteal flap near the nasal cavity without tension and relaxation incision was used to repair the cleft palate.

Digital orthodontics has been integrated into NasoAlveolar Molding (NAM) therapy to overcome challenges in the conventional NAM method. This study introduced an individualized Digital NAM (iDNAM) and evaluated the changes in the alveolar ridges and nasolabial morphology after iDNAM treatment. Prospective data were collected from 15 infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent iDNAM therapy.
