Description
Summary:	This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet derivatives (APD), specifically platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), combined with autogenous iliac crest bone grafts in secondary alveoloplasty for patients with cleft lip and palate. Electronic databases, relevant journals, and reference lists of included studies were searched until July 2022. Best-evidence synthesis was performed to draw conclusions. After the search strategies, 12 randomized controlled trials were included that provided data on six outcomes: newly formed bone, mean bone loss in height and width, bone density, functionality, and postoperative complications. Two authors independently assessed the risk of bias, and the certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. The pooled results suggest that there is uncertainty as to whether the combination of APDs with autogenous iliac crest bone grafts improves the percentage of newly formed bone, as the certainty of the evidence was assessed as very low. It may slightly improve the functionality of patients (with low certainty of the evidence) and probably slightly reduces the incidence of postoperative complications (with moderate certainty of evidence). Further randomized clinical trials with standardized methodologies are required to validate these findings.
