title: The use of preformed HTR polymer implants for chin augmentation. A preliminary report.
abstract: Ten patients with microgenia had their chins augmented with HTR polymer implants. The implants were inserted intraorally and fixed rigidly with a titanium screw. The postoperative course was uneventful except in one patient who had wound dehiscence and was resutured. This patient and all the others were clinically and radiographically stable at one year follow up.
