title: Teaching model for closure of oronasal fistula and bone grafting of the maxilla.
abstract: Secondary bone grafting of the maxilla and closure of the residual oronasal fistula at the stage of transitional dentition has become a well-accepted treatment modality. This procedure, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, has been incorporated into the management protocol of many cleft teams around the world in an effort to further improve functional and esthetic habilitation of patients with unilateral or bilateral clefts of the lip, alveolus, and palate.
