[Report after 3 years experience with the plastic material "proplast" in the maxillofacial region].
"Proplast" is the propriety name for a recently developed artificial substance developed from Teflon. This porous material is said to be firmly incorporated within 6-8 weeks through tissue ingrowth. It is still under clinical assessment. We report our experiences with 30 Proplast implants in the region of the jaws and face.
