title: [Block hydroxyapatite artificial bone in augmentation rhinoplasty: experimental study and clinical applications].
abstract: The lower dense block hydroxyapatite artificial bone (BHAB), a new material for augmentation rhinoplasty, having the characteristic of easy to be carved and contoured, was used in 18 New Zealand white rabbits.
