Custom-milled individual allogeneic bone grafts for alveolar cleft osteoplasty - a technical note

Bone grafts from the iliac crest are most commonly used for osteoplasties of the cleft alveolus. To preclude undue donor–site morbidity custom-milled allogeneic bone grafts might be an appropriate choice.This technical note showcases the repair of an alveolar cleft using an individualized allogeneic bone graft in a 36-year old female patient. She was asking for an alternative to the iliac crest bone grafting. Her alveolus was successfully build up by a custom-milled cancellous bone block allograft (maxgraft® bonebuilder).
