[Use of coral implants in maxillofacial and otorhinolaryngologic surgery].
The coral, as bio-compatible implant, has been used in several indications: in Otology: for ossicular chain and external auditory canal reconstruction. In Maxillo-facial surgery: for orbital floor, maxillary sinus and jawbone reconstruction. The first results of this study are favorable but coral resorption might be prevent by a careful sealing of the implant deep under the surface layer.
