Numerous autogenous and alloplastic materials have been used for restoration of contour
deformities of the face. Alloplastic materials have come into use to replace autogeneous …

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 …

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 …

Porous high-density polyethylene (Medpor®) is a biocompatible large-pore, high-density
polyethylene implant. It is well tolerated by surrounding tissue, and its porous structure is …

The Medpor porous polyethylene implant is a highly stable and somewhat flexible porous
alloplast that is used for facial reconstruction and augmentation. A total of 37 surgical biopsy …

High-density porous polyethylene (HDPP) has been extensively used in craniofacial
reconstructions with high-level success and minimal complications. It is known for its …

Porous polyethylene (PPE) implants are biocompatible alloplastic materials commonly used
for facial augmentation. However, the effect of sub-periosteal PPE application on the …

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 …

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 …

Objective This paper deals with the usefulness and versatility of the porous high-density
polyethylene implants for correction of various facial deformities as an augmentation and an …
