Porosity is an important material feature commonly employed in implants and tissue
scaffolds. The presence of material voids permits the infiltration of cells, mechanical …

This review aims to compare bone grafts and different biomaterials for reconstruction of
craniofacial bones in congenital defects, after trauma, and after tumour surgery. A Pubmed …

This review specifically addresses the use of homologous grafts and allogenic implants in
rhinoplasty. It is important to stress that autologous materials remain the preferred graft …

With the development of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
technology, it has been possible to reconstruct the cranio-maxillofacial defect with more …

The management of orbital blowout fractures is controversial. The continuing debate
includes the use of antibiotics and steroids, imaging, the surgical approach, and the choice …

Porous polyethylene (Medpor) is an alloplastic material worldwide used for craniofacial
reconstruction. To evaluate complications and risk factors associated with this synthetic graft …

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 …

Medical devices, such as silicone‐based prostheses designed for soft tissue implantation,
often induce a suboptimal foreign‐body response which results in a hardened avascular …

A variety of materials have been used to reconstruct defects of the orbital floor. Autogenous
materials such as bone and cartilage have the obvious drawback of the necessary donor …

Allogenic implants are an effective alternative to autologous grafts in the reconstruction of
facial defects. These implants are used to reconstruct a variety of bony and soft-tissue …
