Biomaterials in craniofacial reconstruction

Younghoon R Cho et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2004 Jul.

Abstract

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 play an important role in reducing operating times. There are various biomaterials currently available and specific usages have been characterized well in the literature. This article reviews different biomaterials that can be used in craniofacial reconstruction,including autogenous bone, methyl methacrylate and hard tissue replacement,hydroxyapatite, porous polyethylene, bioactive glass, and demineralized bone.
