title: Zygomatic augmentation with hydroxylapatite: a preliminary report.
abstract: This paper describes the use of hydroxylapatite in combination with microfibrillar collagen and blood to yield a cohesive mixture that can be sculptured to correct symmetry over the zygomatic bones. Eleven cases were studied retrospectively, and the augmentation was found to remain stable and esthetically pleasing.
