Replacement of freeze-dried allogeneic cartilage chin graft with host bone. A case report.
Facial contour and augmentation procedures are frequently performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons either as a primary surgery or in conjunction with corrective jaw surgery. The success of these procedures depends on the stability of the material used. This case demonstrates the stability and eventual osseous replacement of allogeneic freeze-dried cartilage as an augmentation material.
