Abstract
Anterior lip/palate cleft is a congenital deformity affecting the upper lip and palate, posing significant challenges in both aesthetic and functional aspects for children. Effective management of this condition is crucial for improving quality of life and ensuring normal development. This review aims to highlight the regenerative treatment options available for children with anterior lip/palate cleft, focusing on the use of bone grafts and other advanced dental procedures. A review of the current literature and clinical practices was conducted to identify and evaluate the most effective treatment options. Emphasis was placed on regenerative techniques, particularly the use of bone grafts. Advancements in regenerative dentistry offer promising outcomes for children with anterior lip/palate cleft. Bone grafts, combined with innovative techniques such as growth factors, stem cell therapy, and distraction osteogenesis, provide effective solutions for restoring function and aesthetics. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to ensure comprehensive care and optimal results for these patients.
期刊介绍:
Children is an international, open access journal dedicated to a streamlined, yet scientifically rigorous, dissemination of peer-reviewed science related to childhood health and disease in developed and developing countries.
The publication focuses on sharing clinical, epidemiological and translational science relevant to children’s health. Moreover, the primary goals of the publication are to highlight under‑represented pediatric disciplines, to emphasize interdisciplinary research and to disseminate advances in knowledge in global child health. In addition to original research, the journal publishes expert editorials and commentaries, clinical case reports, and insightful communications reflecting the latest developments in pediatric medicine. By publishing meritorious articles as soon as the editorial review process is completed, rather than at predefined intervals, Children also permits rapid open access sharing of new information, allowing us to reach the broadest audience in the most expedient fashion.
