Bone grafting in craniofacial surgery.
Bone graft surgery is the basis of all craniofacial surgery. The use of bone grafts in the craniofacial region has changed from a basic trial-and-error concept of surgical triumph to the understanding of the fundamental concepts of bone healing and bone physiology. The search for the super graft continues, and may become a reality before the end of the millennium.
