Chirurgia ricostruttiva estetica dell’angolo mandibolare

in case of severe malformations or traumas, it is not alwais possible to obtain satisfactory results simply by intervening on skeletal structures with bone deficits that cannot be filled without use of aklloplastic grafts. autologous or lyphfilised bone grafts where originally used, and these were followed by the adoption of eterologous materials such as hydroxyapathitis. these materials have now been replaced by porous polyethylene (medpore), which indicated for the correction of volumetric deficiencies due to pathiological malformation or traumas. its use is fondamental for the correction of mandibular angle and the lower border of the jaw in order to guarantee the harmonic distribution of facial volumes.
