Attitude of the Canine in Secondary Bone-Grafted and Nongrafted Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate

Abstract

In BG patients, a canine located near the cleft appears to erupt at the same angle as it had before grafting. However, in NonBG patients, it erupts more vertically, guided by cortical bone. For canines distant from the cleft area, there is no significant difference in the change in angulation between NonBG and BG patients.
