Porous hydroxyapatite blocks offer a useful method for chin augmentation, achieving satisfactory facial profiles and stable results. However, careful infection prevention is crucial for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Chin augmentation aims to improve facial aesthetics and profile.
  • Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) is a biocompatible material used in bone reconstruction.
  • Evaluating HA implants for cosmetic augmentation requires clinical and radiographic assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of chin augmentation using porous hydroxyapatite blocks.
  • To assess the stability and bone integration of porous HA implants in the mandible.
  • To identify potential complications and success factors associated with this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation of patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Radiographic assessment including cephalometry for implant stability and bone deposition.

  • Histologic examination of explanted HA material in one case.

    • Main Results:

    • Satisfactory facial profile recovery was achieved in most patients.
    • Porous HA implants demonstrated excellent bone integration and stability.
    • One implant was removed due to infection, highlighting a significant risk.
    • Histology showed inflammatory infiltration in the removed implant, despite no bone formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Porous hydroxyapatite blocks are a viable option for chin augmentation, providing stable and aesthetically pleasing results.
    • Successful outcomes depend on meticulous surgical technique and strict infection control measures.
    • Further research may explore strategies to mitigate infection risk in HA implantations.
