Some of the most significant advances in biomaterials over the last 20 years have been in
the field of bone graft substitutes. It is entirely possible that within the next 10 years the …

Biomaterials have become an integral component of craniofacial reconstruction. Their
increasing ease of use, long ''shelf-life,''and safety enables them to be used effectively and …

Describing the diagnosis and management of maxillofacial and associated traumatic injuries
step by step, Oral and Maxillofacial Trauma, 4th Edition takes you beyond the surgical …

Aseptic bone flap resorption (BFR) is a known long-term complication after cranioplasty
(CP). We analyzed our institutional data in order to identify risk factors for BFR. From October …

Bone substitutes are being increasingly used in craniofacial surgery and craniomaxillofacial
trauma. We will review the history of the biomaterials and describe the ideal characteristics …

The aim of this clinical series is to report the effectiveness and safety of using computer-
generated alloplastic hard tissue replacement (HTR) implants for the reconstruction of large …

Alloplastic cranioplasty techniques using polyfmethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are a common
method of restoring lost cranial bone. Numerous compositions of PMMA exist for this …

With the advent of new biomaterials and surgical techniques, the reconstructive surgeon has
a wider range of treatment modalities for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of craniofacial …

The world of biomaterials has been continuously evolving. Where in the past only mono-
material implants were used, the growth in technology and collaboration between …

A biocompatible microporous composite of PMMA (poly‐methyl‐methacrylate), PHEMA
(poly‐hydroxyl‐ethyl‐methacrylate), and calcium hydroxide (HTR) or autogenous osseous …
