Study Summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if the use of Bone Morphogenic Protein(BMP)/Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) versus the use of autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (ICBG) will result in an increase in total cost effectiveness for patients undergoing alveolar bone graft (ABG) for Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) and to see if patients who are treated with DBM/BMP will have reduced post-operative pain scores,reduced operative times,and similar rates of bone healing compared to conventional ICBG.

Primary Outcome

Health system costs will be reported as the total sum of all costs including incremental surgeon time costs, hospital costs, revision costs, and additional outpatient costs for clinic or ER visits. Bone graft success be defined as no need for a repeat bone graft, as well as by assessment by blinded orthodontist evaluations of the Post op Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT).
