Abstract

Facial deficit diseases are corrected by biomaterial implantation. The ideal biomaterial should be easy to implant and remove and simple to be identified by a low-dose radiation and low-cost radiologic technique. The purpose of this work was to evaluate ultrasonography (US) as a technique in monitoring biomaterial status after operation. In the last 3 years, for this study we used polyethylene porosus and polyacrylamide. Our study included 300 patients grouped accordingly as follows: malformative syndromes, degenerative syndromes, and esthetic problems, results of skull-facial traumas, and whether they are treated in the early phase and or the late phase. In this paper, we describe the better 15 clinical cases for their excellent result and for their variety of US images. Ultrasonography has been shown as an excellent way to visualize clinical features and a possible pathologic process of an implanted biomaterial; it is a noninvasive, low-radiation and low-cost dose radiologic technique. Reconstruction in facial deficit diseases needs adequate biomaterial to implant and a careful patients observation, that is, both clinical and radiologic. Ultrasonography is a fundamental component of the follow up of implanted biomaterial patients.
