[Use of biocompatible soluble polymers in reconstructive surgery]

The paper provides the functional characteristics and results of clinical application of implants based on N-vinylpyrrolidone-butylmethacrylate copolymer to eliminate mandibular bone defect. The implants are indicated to ensure reliable fixation and promote the formation of a valuable osseous regenerate due to their capacity to self-resolve and osteoconductivity. The application of the N-vinylpyrrolidone-butylmethacrylate copolymer-based implants substantially widens the scope of reconstructive surgery.
