Deformities of the facial skeleton may be reconstructed using autogenic or allogenic
materials. Porous polyethylene is one of the few alloplastic materials currently in use having …

A retrospective review of clinical outcomes was performed to determine the clinical utility
and morbidity associated with the use of porous polyethylene facial implants. Three hundred …

Objective To determine the usefulness of porous high-density polyethylene implants
(Medpor) in a variety of facial skeletal deformities and subcutaneous defects, excluding …

The aim of the present study was to assess the indications, results and complications of
patients treated with porous polyethylene (Medpor®) implants in the Department of Oral and …

The aim of this paper was to determine the utility of high density porous polyethylene
implants (HDPE) in a variety of facial skeletal deformities. Sixteen patients (age range 14–28 …

Medpor is a biocompatible, porous, high-density polyethylene implant material used as a
skeleton substitute. During the last two decades, it has been successfully applied for …

Objectives The role of alloplastic materials in maxillofacial reconstruction is still
controversial. Determining the utility of porous, high-density, polyethylene implants as a …

Background Porous polyethylene (PP) has been used in craniofacial reconstruction but has
been primarily relegated to small and moderate size defects. This series evaluates the long …

This paper describes a technique of using Medpor porous high-density polyethylene
implants for nasal reconstruction and chin augmentation. This biocompatible material has …

Reconstruction in the head and neck is difficult and often requires complex solutions to
restore functional and aesthetic form. While autogenous tissue is preferred, many alloplasts …
