Abstract:
The introduction of titanium in maxillofacial surgery is advantageous because the removal of the plates and screws by a second operation is no longer necessary due to the high biocompatibility of the material. A further advantage is the availability of two types of plates (maxillary and mandibular) with different hardness and malleability.
