Introduction. Autogenous bone graft is the gold standard in reconstruction of bone defects.
The use of autogenous bone graft is problematic because of limited bone as well as donor …

Alloplastic materials are often used when significant defects exist. Benefits include no donor
site morbidity, relative ease of use, limitless supply, and predictable durability. Depending …

Background Temporal depression after temporalis muscle flap transposition is characterized
by a concavity of the soft tissue and associated with the relief of the orbital rim and zygomatic …

Purpose Often used in facial and ocular reconstruction, biointegratable materials, such as
hydroxyapatite and high density porous polyethylene, can be associated with migration …

Fractures of the orbital floor represent a common yet difficult to manage sequelae of
craniomaxillofacial trauma. Repair of these injuries should be carried out with the goal of …

The use of alloplastic materials in plastic surgery has become more extensive with
advancement of autogenoustissue reconstruction techniques for the repair of defects, tissue …

Inappropriate treatment or untreated fractures of the zygomaticoorbital area results in
secondary deformities such as loss of malar projection, enophthalmos, and dystopia …

High density polyethylene (HDPE) is a synthetic biomaterial used as a three-dimensional
scaffold for bone defect reconstruction. Reports differ with regard to its biological response …
