Orbital roof reconstruction with a hydroxyapatite implant

Advancements in facial implantology: a review of hydroxyapatite applications and outcomes

“…Hydroxyapatite has emerged as a relevant material used in craniofacial reconstruction and balancing of the craniofacial skeleton ( 2 ). Aside from bony augmentation (e.g., maxillary sinus augmentation prior to dental implant placement) and reconstruction, HaP has also been used as a soft tissue injectable filler (e.g., Radiesse) ( 34 , 35 ). Despite the widespread use of HaP for balancing of facial features, little is known about the safety and efficacy as a material used for reconstruction and aesthetic implant based augmentation of the face.…”

Hydroxyapatite particles as a controlled release carrier of protein

“…However, it is very difficult to include these two different characteristics in one material. Sintered ceramics or metal materials have good mechanical strength and are useful for the reconstruction of bone [24,25] but are not resorbed in the body. Some synthesized polymers or biopolymers have bioabsorbability but do not have sufficient strength [26,27].…”

Three‐Dimensional Alloplastic Orbital Reconstruction in Skull Base Surgery

“…Thus, a variety of alloplasts have been used for this purpose. 9–11 The potential for long‐term implant infection and extrusion and the ability of the construct to withstand radiation make these options less desirable.…”
