Abstract:
The more and more availability of new alloplastic materials in oral and maxillo-facial reconstructions causes the necessity of judging if the biomaterials satisfy the surgical needs. The authors re-examine the main chemical, physical and biological characteristics of following materials: hydroxylapatite, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyglactin 910, polyfluorocarbons, polypropylene and report their experiences.
