In this study, the ASM periodontal condition and pathogenic microbes were assessed before IMTM extraction and at 1, 4, 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, our study revealed that IMTM extractions adversely affected distal - periodontal probing depth (dPPD), attachment loss (dAL), plaque index (dPLI) and bleeding on probing (dBOP) within 8 weeks, but these indices gradually normalize after 12 weeks. The subgingival pathogens near the ASMs distal surface, <em>Porphyromonas and Pseudomonas</em>, were significantly increased postoperatively. Moreover, relevance of ASMs clinical indices and subgingival microbes after IMTM extractions was found. In contrast to the situation in chronic periodontitis, the effects of IMTM extraction on dPPD, dAL, dPLI and dBOP of ASMs were mainly correlated with <em>Pseudomonas</em>. Additionally, while the IMTM extractions have adverse distal periodontal indices of ASMs within 8 weeks and increase subgingival pathogens, the modified triangular flap (MTF) had fewer distal periodontal indices and less <em>Pseudomonas</em>. Compared to the traditional envelope flap and triangular flap, the MTF benefits the periodontal health, which could be considered as the priority option for IMTM extractions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54851,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"52 8","pages":"Pages 937-947"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141394796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that autologous platelet concentrates (APC) may enhance wound healing and improve outcomes. Therefore, this review aimed to evaluate in patients with alveolar clefts, whether using APC and iliac crest bone graft can mitigate the likelihood of wound dehiscence formation compared with those who underwent iliac bone grafting only following SABG. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using various electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Ovid MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library, and grey literature, to include studies until July 31, 2023, without any restriction to language and time of publication. Only randomized (RCT) and controlled (CCT) clinical trials were included. Two independent reviewers screened the studies based on the predefined criteria, after which a qualitative and quantitative analysis was conducted. The search yielded 821 studies, of which seven were deemed eligible for systematic review. The risk of bias assessment done using “The Cochrane collaboration tool for risk of bias assessment” for six RCTs and the “Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies - of Interventions” for one CCT revealed a moderate to high risk of bias. The meta-analysis of five studies showed that the overall risk of developing wound dehiscence was lower in the APC group (RR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.71; p = 0.005; χ<sup>2</sup> = 0.82; I<sup>2</sup> = 0%).

The primary outcome measure was patient satisfaction, which was assessed through patient charts about subjective esthetic problems and nasal obstruction. The secondary outcome measures were the number of intraoperative images and necessity of intra- and postoperative revisions. All the outcomes were evaluated using regression analysis.
