Oral And Maxillofacial Reconstruction With Bone Allograft
Abstract
- Autogenous bone grafting has a broad range of applications and also limitations, thought it is the oldest and most important reconstructive techniques in the oral and maxillofacial surgical field. Further understanding of bone healing mechanism, bone physiology and bone biology, transplantation immunology, and development of tissue banking procedure has enabled oral and maxillofacial surgeons to reconstruct even the most difficult bony defects successfully with the preserved allogeneic bone implant. Now autogenous bone and allogeneic bone implants present a wide variety of surgical options to surgeons, whether used separately or in combination. The surgeons are able to make judicious and fruitful choices, only with a through knowledge of the above-mentioned biologic principles and skillful techniques. The author evaluated 116 cases where allogeneic bones were transplanted for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction.
