COMPARISON OF ILIAC CREST VERSUS MANDIBLE FOR ALVEOLAR BONE GRAFTING
Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare the iliac crest with the mandible (symphysis) for the reconstruction of alveolar clefts.
Methods: A total of 102 patients reporting to the department of oral and Maxillofacial Surgery AFID, were included in the study who were treated by Secondary alveolar bone grafting using iliac crest and mandibular symphysis as donor site during the period from March 2012 to March 2015. Ethical Committee approval was taken from the institute and after obtaining informed consent from the patients, the subjects were included in the study. The post-operative complications, clinical outcomes, operating time and hospital stay of both the groups was compared. Pain was assessed by eliciting the severity using VAS and the duration of pain was recorded.
Results: Out of the 100 subjects included in the study 60 were males and 40 females as shown by Table 1. 78 subjects had unilateral(48 left side, 30 right side)and 34 had bilateral cleft alveolus. The age at the time of surgery ranged from 8 to 32 years,mostly in the age of 8 to 13 years. Majority of the cases were from low socioeconomic group and were referred from other hospitals.
Conclusions: This comparative study suggests that the ileac crest and mandible both provide adequate correction for alveolar bone grafting, with acceptable complication rate. However, the use of mandible for grafting offers the advantage of reduced hospitization along with early healing of the donor site.
