  Objectives: This study was to analyze factors that affect peri-implant bone loss around dental implants placed into alveolar cleft sites. Methods: Thirty-one patients with cleft lip and palate (total 46 implants) who underwent implant treatment following secondary bone graft to the alveolar cleft were included in this study. Evaluation at the peri-implant bone level was measured using standard X-ray images. Analysis of covariance was performed using the amount of periimplant bone loss as the objective variable and sex, cleft type, age at bone grafting of alveolar clefts, time since completion of implant treatment, type of implant, length of the implant, presence or absence of vestibuloplasty, and presence or absence of bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement as the eight explanatory variables.
