A General guideline for when treatment should be provided for various stages and symptoms related to cleft lip and palate
If your child has a cleft that extends to the gingiva (gums) on one side in unilateral cases or on both sides in bilateral cases, he or she will need to have a bone graft augmentation in that area
Alveolar cleft repair is a surgical procedure that is performed to fill the gum defect with bone
