| Abstract |
In orofacial cleft deformity cases, bone grafting is a very essential step in reconstruction of the residual alveolar cleft defect. Though various authors have put forth different techniques and graft sources for alveolar bone grafting, at our center, we have used iliac crest as the graft source and cortical bone graft with GTR membrane as "ceiling effect". We have evaluated a series of cases of secondary alveolar bone grafting done with this technique by same surgeon at our center and have found great success. In this clinical paper, we describe our surgical technique and also the key points from surgeons experience to ensure a better result. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 May 2017.
All research outputs
#15,459,782
of 22,973,051 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
#107
of 259 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,124
of 310,725 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,973,051 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 259 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,725 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
