Proplast in dental facial reconstruction.
Successful clinical applications since early 1970 have occurred with the use of temporomandibular condylar prosthesis and endosseous blade-vent implants coated with porous proplast. Proplast as a bulk material has also been used to augment atropic mandibular alveolar ridges and deficient facial contours in the mental, mandibular border, and zygomatic areas.
