title: Medpor in maxillofacial deformities: report of three cases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This paper deals with the usefulness and versatility of the porous high-density polyethylene implants for correction of various facial deformities as an augmentation and an onlay graft material with its advantages.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prefabricated porous high-density polyethylene implants were used in three patients (post-trauma facial deformity, Goldenhar syndrome, nasal deformity in cleft patient) for secondary reconstruction of orbital floor, depressed nose and supra-orbital ridge, augmentation of hypoplastic mandible and depressed nasal dorsum under general anaesthesia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Good esthetic results were achieved in all the three patients treated with porous high-density polyethylene implants with no complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Porous high-density polyethylene alloplastic implant is an excellent biomaterial for reconstruction of various facial deformities with many advantages over autogenous and other alloplastic materials.
