Particulate inlay nasal graft with immediate dental implant placement in a patient with repaired alveolar cleft: case report.
Primary bone grafts in congenital cleft alveolus do not always provide sufficient bulk or height of bone for ideal placement of endosseous implants. Thus, maxillary sinus or nasal floor elevation and inlay bone grafts in previously grafted areas are not exceptions in the daily routine. This case report stresses the need of a detailed treatment plan and careful surgical management of nasal floor elevation with particulate autogenous bone graft to successfully provide the patient with osseointegrated prostheses.
