The author's anatomic model, dividing the face into 5 distinct zones, is key to his midface augmentation technique. Limiting his approach to intraoral or lower eyelid, he contends that volume alterations within each zone produce easily predictable results.

INTRODUCTION Ridge preservation can be performed with autologous bone, alloplastic bone substitute material or a combination of both. Dentin is similar to bone in its chemical composition. In its use as bone substitute material, it undergoes a remodelling process and transforms to bone. The presented case report introduces a technique in which the extraction socket is augmented with autologous,...

BACKGROUND Asian aesthetic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last decade, especially augmentation of characteristically flattened facial features. Alloplastic implants are an option for facial augmentation, however many avoid their use due to concerns for morbidity associated with their use. OBJECTIVES To validate our hypothesis that when used properly, alloplastic implants hav...

Alloplastic implants have been used to repair orbital wall fractures in most cases. Orbital hemorrhage is a rare complication of these implants and has been reported rarely in Korea. The purpose of this article is to report a late complication case focusing on their etiology and management. A 20-year-old male patient underwent open reduction with Medpor (porous polyethylene) insertion for bilat...

9 T estoration of the atrophied edentulous maxilla poses great dilemma to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon nd restorative dentist. Conventional removable denure prostheses are adequate for some individuals; but mproved technology in dental implantology has led any to request alternative approaches with imlants. Patients with adequate maxillary bone are deal candidates for implants, but are th...

BACKGROUND Many different techniques for obliterating open mastoid cavity have been described. The results after the application of alloplastic materials like Hydroxyapatite and Tricalciumphosphate were poor due to long-lasting resorption. Extrusion of those materials has been described. We investigated the applicability of a new high-porosity ceramic for obliterating large open mastoid cavitie...

OBJECTIVE The aims of current study are to compare complications following cranioplasty (CP) using either sterilized autologous bone or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and to identify the risk factors for two of the most common complications: bone flap resorption (BFR) and surgical site infection (SSI). METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2013, 127 patients underwent CP and were followe...
