Abstract

Objective. To evaluate mandibular donor site healing after cortical bone graft harvesting in cleft patients, comparing outcomes of osteotomies performed with rotary burs and piezosurgery. Material and methods. Fifty-three patients (64 bone grafting procedures) were included. Autogenous grafts were harvested from the mandibular body using either a rotary bur (n=43) or a piezoelectric device (n=21). Healing was assessed by CT 5—24 months postoperatively using a 4-grade scale. Statistical analysis employed the Shapiro—Wilk test, Mann—Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation (p
