Spontaneous bone regeneration after closure of the hard palate cleft: A literature review

There is a wide range of surgical techniques for the treatment of palatal clefts. Some of these surgical procedures result in postoperative osteogenesis at the palatal fissure. The aim of this review was to discuss the current approach of cleft palate surgery leading to spontaneous bone regeneration and to compare these different procedures. Moreover, the causes of bone regeneration, effects on maxillary growth and factors affecting bone regeneration on the hard palate are discussed.
