The primary goals of craniofacial reconstruction include the restoration of the form, function,
and facial esthetics, and in the case of pediatric patients, respect for craniofacial growth. The …

Regeneration of normal shape, architecture, and function of craniofacial tissues following
congenital abnormality, trauma, or surgical treatment presents special problems to tissue …

For over 100 years, reconstructive surgeons have endeavored to regenerate compromised
bone in craniofacial injuries. The craniofacial surgeon's main task was to replace missing …

Critical‐size osseous defects cannot heal without surgical intervention and can pose a
significant challenge to craniofacial reconstruction. Autologous bone grafting is the gold …

Craniofacial reconstruction of cases with complex anatomy challenges surgeons. The
recently emerging field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has resulted in a …

Current reconstructive approaches to large craniofacial skeletal defects are often
complicated and challenging. Critical-sized defects are unable to heal via natural …

The craniofacial region consists of several different tissue types. These tissues are quite
commonly affected by traumatic/pathologic tissue loss which has so far been traditionally …

Oral Diseases (2010) 16, 709–716 Although advances in surgical techniques and bone
grafting have significantly improved the functional and cosmetic restoration of craniofacial …
