Abstract
Cleft Lip and Palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital facial malformation. One of the surgeries that need to be performed to CL/P rehabilitation is the alveolar bone graft which has as one of its functions to allow the eruption of the canine tooth. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review on articles that showed the rate of impacting permanent canine tooth in the alveolar cleft area after the secondary bone grafting surgeries in patients with CL/P. An electronic search with Englishlanguage studies was undertaken in the following databases: Medline/PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. A total of 468 were selected and 119 were fully read and 35 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The articles analyzed showed that the impacted canine tooth rate in the alveolar bone grafted region is not frequently reported after the secondary alveolar bone graft and a very wide variation in the canine impaction rate, ranging from 0% to 93.75%. Due to the risk of bias in the studies included in this literature review we observed that there is insufficient evidence to relate the impact rate of permanent canines after the alveolar bone graft with the type of bone source used or with the achievement of orthodontic maxillary expansion prior to the secondary bone graft.
