Use of a Variety of Facial Bone Grafts in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical availability of a variety of facial bone grafts in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Thirty patients with oral and maxillofacial bone defects were treated with mandible, maxilla, and zygoma bone grafts. The ages of the patients ranged from 8 to 64 years, with a mean age of 28.6 years. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 30 months, with a mean follow-up of 11.7 months. Although postoperative follow-up was of short duration, the recilient sites were favorable to healing and bone consolidation. Healing progressed normally without severe morbidity. The donor site did not present a management problem in any of the patients.Some minor complications developed in 8 patients, of which three were infections and another three were wound dehiscence. There complications were easily managed with incision and drainage, antibiotics and local wound care. We consider that a variety of facial bone grafts can be used for reconsider that a variety of facial bone grafts can be used for reconstruction of small or moderate large bony defects.
