Introduction: It is quite common that there are gingival recession near the cleft in patients with cleft lip and palate,especially on maxillary central incisors.The presence of recession initiates unpleasant esthetics and even in some cases functional problems like dentin hypersensitivity and root caries.In our study,through research on the impact of alveolar bone grafting on recession of central incisor near the cleft in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate,we explored the possibility to control the recession.
