Abstract
Intro: Alveolar ridge defects associated with cleft lip and palate are typically repaired using alveolar bone grafting (ABG), with autologous grafting as the standard despite donor site morbidity. This study investigated outcomes of using hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) as a synthetic graft alternative.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study identified 118 patients who underwent ABG via CPT codes and were divided into three groups: autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (ICBG) (N=37), ICBG + rhBMP-2 (N=65), and 15% hydroxyapatite/85% beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (HA/TCP) + rhBMP-2 (N=16). Primary outcomes included need for regrafting and % graft take, assessed via CBCT imaging. Secondary outcomes included complication rates (swelling, wound dehiscence, SSI) and perioperative data (surgery length, hospital stay).
Results: Patients who received HA/TCP + rhBMP-2 experienced similar rates of need for regrafting as the other groups. The median % graft take was higher for HA/TCP + rhBMP-2 (68.0% IQR[45.9-93.1%]) compared to ICBG (25.1% IQR[5.2-43.5%], Z = 3.16, p = 0.002) and ICBG + rhBMP-2 (44.2% IQR[24.5-63.1%], Z = 2.19, p = 0.028). Complication rates were similar across groups (dehiscence, p = 0.319; SSI, p = 0.357), except for a higher rate of post-surgical facial swelling for HA/TCP + rhBMP-2 compared to ICBG (OR = 6.8, 95% CI[1.44-32.00], p = 0.0157).
Conclusion: HA/TCP + rhBMP-2 is a viable alternative to ABG, showing comparable success to ICBG and ICBG + rhBMP-2, with superior % graft take and no increased complication risk, aside from increased post-surgical facial swelling compared to ICBG.
