Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine and assess the use of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and nanohydroxyapatite for bone regeneration as an effective technique for alveolar cleft repair.
Patients And Methods: This study included 20 patients with unilateral alveolar cleft defects and with an age range of 8-15 years. They were divided equally into two groups: Group A, received treatment via the regenerative approach which includes; autologous BMMNCs seeded on a collagen sponge in combination with nanohydroxyapatite and autologous PRF. Group B, received the standard alveolar bone grafting with iliac crest bone. The effectiveness of the new technique was evaluated and compared to the standard grafting technique through a 12-month follow-up via clinical and radiographic assessments.
Results: During the 12-month follow-up, Group A exhibited less donor site complications, faster and better soft tissue healing, and less postoperative pain, when compared to group B. 90% of the cases in group A, exhibited complete alveolar bone union verses 70% only in group B.
Conclusion: Combination of BMMNCs, nanohydroxyapatite, and PRF greatly promote bone regeneration in alveolar cleft defects providing an alternative novel therapeutic strategy to the standard alveolar bone grafting.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited error in metabolism resulting from loss-of-function variants in the gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). TNAP plays a crucial role in biomineralization of bones and teeth, in part by reducing levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PP), an inhibitor of biomineralization. HPP onset in childhood contributes to rickets, including growth plate defects and impaired growth.

Methods: Dental cast models of clinical situations representing unilateral cleft-lip-palate(UCLP), bilateral cleft-lippalate( BCLP) and cleft-palate(CP) with reference PEEK-scanbodies (Cares RC Mono-Scankörper, Straumann, Switzerland) were scanned utilizing four IOS systems: CareStream-CS3600®(CS), Medit-i500®(MD), Cerec-Omnicam®(SO), 3Shape-Trios-3®(TS). One calibrated operator made 5 scans from each model using each IOS (N=60).

Aims And Background: The study of the morphology of soft tissues as well as hard tissues of the orofacial region holds prime importance. A very less information is known about the lips (soft tissues) and maxillo-mandibular arches (hard tissue structures) in primary dentition. Henceforth, there is a need to classify, find the prevalence and correlation of various lip shapes, and arch forms in primary dentition.

Introduction: Alveolar cleft grafting is crucial in cleft lip and palate rehabilitation, promoting maxillary continuity and facilitating dental development. While autologous bone grafts are the gold standard, combining them with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and xenografts like Bio-Oss has the potential to enhance bone regeneration and long-term stability. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combining autologous cortico-cancellous bone grafts, PRP, and Bio-Oss in alveolar cleft repair.
