    Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of autologous platelet derivatives, specifically platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), for secondary alveoloplasty in patients with cleft lip and palate. Eligibility criteria: We will include randomized trials evaluating the effect of autologous platelet derivatives on newly bone formed after secondary alveoloplasty in cleft lip and palate patients. Two reviewers will independently screen each study for eligibility, data extraction, and bias assessment using the Cochrane "risk of bias" tool. We will pool the results using meta-analysis and apply the GRADE system to assess the certainty of the evidence for each outcome. Data sources: A comprehensive search will include all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the ongoing investigation reported in specialty congresses and trials regardless of language or ublication status (published, unpublished, in press, and progress). We will conduct searches in the following databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PUBMED, Embase, and LILACS. We will screen trial registries and other sources in order to identify articles that might have been missed in the electronic searches. Ethics and dissemination: As researchers will not access information that could identify an individual participant, obtaining ethical approval was waived.
