Purpose : This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical success of secondary alveolar bone grafting using autogenous iliac particulate cancellous bone marrow in cleft maxilla. Materials and methods : We evaluated 107 cleft patients who had been admitted to the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Pusan National University Hospital from January 1, 1991 to January 31, 1999 and had been performed secondary alveolar bone grafting with autogenous particulated cancellous bone marrow from iliac crest. Results : 1. Men were 70 and women were 37, which shows 65.4% and 34.6% and the proportion of males to females was 1.9:1. Unilateral cases were 89(83.2%) and bilateral cases were 18(16.8%). 2. Age of bone grafting is widely distributed from 7 to 29, and the average was 13.2. 3. Success rate was 97.8% in unilateral cases, 94.4% in bilateral cases. Overall success rate was 96.7%. 4. We evaluated the bone graft contour by the percentage of bone attachment level adjacent to the alveolar cleft and the menial side showed 82.4% and the distal 87.7%. 5. The amount of notching the alveolar ridge at the grafted site through the ratio of notching length up to the most apical base to the length of proximal segment anatomic root was 0.19.

Purpose: Fibrous dysplasia is related to the mutation of gene encoding the alpha-subunit of a signal-transducing G-protein and has variable clinical course. Operation can be performed to prevent functional disorder or structural deformity. After curettage, autologous bone graft were used to fill the defects after curettage. The aim of this study is to compare the result of autogenous cancellous bone grafting and allogenic bone grafting for fibrous dysplasia. Materials and Methods: Among the patients who visit our hospital during the period of April, 1997 to October, 2013, we selected 34 patients who diagnosed fibrous dysplasia and visited our clinic over 1 year. There were 13 males and 21 females. Average age was 26.4 (range 2 to 57) years old. Autogenous bone graft (group I) in 5 cases, Non-autogenous bone graft (group II) in 30 cases. Iliac bone is used in all cases of autogenous bone graft. There were no significant difference in age, follow-up period, preoperational laboratory finding between two groups. Radiographic image was done to evaluate the recurrence of fibrous dysplasia or secondary degeneration. Results: There were four cases in recurrence (group I: 1 case, group II: 3 cases, p=0.554). In all recurrent cases, reoperations were done using curettage and autogenous iliac bone graft. There was no re-recurrence after reoperation. One case of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst was confirmed (group II) and 1 cases of pathologic fractures had developed (group I: 0 case, group II: 1 cases, p=0.559). No malignant change occurred. Conclusion: There were no significant difference between autogenous bone graft group and non-autogenous bone graft group. Our result suggested that autogenous bone graft seems to be good method to treat fibrous dysplasia, in the case of small volume of tumor lesion or non-weight bearing portion.

Orthognathic surgery, ie, the surgical correction of congenital and acquaired anormalities of the jaws, is currently a field of vigorous activity among oral surgeons. Surgical correction of maxillofacial deformities benefits the patient both psychologically and functionally. Facial mutilation may precipitate adverse psychologic effects. Function is frequently impaired by malrelation of the jaws. In addition, speech, specifically articulation, is often handicapped in patient with severe jaw deformities. Therefore, in dealing with these patient, above mentioned problem should be considered deliberately. In this regard, the authors have treated 2 cases of mandible defect caused by gunshot and explosives with iliac bone graft. In both cases, the patient had Tantalum plate on defect area. But it became lose and gave functional disturbances. So, the authors have removed Tantalum plate and performed bone transplantation with autogenous soild iliac bone graft on that area with good results.

Loss of mandibular continuity due to neoplasm, trauma, or infection results in major esthetic and biologic compromise. The use of costochondral grafts for reconstruction of temporomandibular joint, described first by Gillies in 1920, has been accepted as a suitable method for replacing the mandibular condyle, especially in growing children. Autogenous iliac bone graft has been a satisfactory source of mandibular reconstruction since Sykoffs report in 1900. Autogenous bone grafts from the posterior aspects of the ilium provide large amount of PMCB with acceptable donor site morbidity. In timing of reconstruction, initial disease, age, medical history, growth and development, esthetic and psychologic factors should be considered. We present a case of osteosarcoma in the mandible that was treated by a hemimandibulectomy and the defect was reconstructed 20 months later with composite method of costochondral and posterior iliac bone graft.

This is a clinical and retrospective study of 36 patients received the autogenous particulated cancellous bone grafts from anterior iliac and proximal tibial metaphysis and we compared the clinical postoperative complications in operation sites and donor site morbidity. The results of this study indicate that, in all our patients, the proximal tibia provided an adquate volume of cancellous bone and there were no special contraindications, in choosing and using the proximal tibia as a donor site in most oral and maxillofacial cancellous bone graft surgeries. Furthermore, the proximal tibial metaphysis would appear a more easily obtainable cancellous bone source and offer a superior clinical results than anterior iliac crest in donor site morbidity.

There are many residual nasal deformities following midface injury. The treatment of primary nasal deformities is delayed frequently due to several factors. And then, we usually perform the secondary nasal reconstruction. Autogenous bone is the material of choice for major nasal augmentation. It can be contoured appropriately and securely immobilized. It is rapidly incorporated as living tissue by the recipient bed. We used with iliac bone, contochondral graft and ear cartilage for secondary nasal augmentation and obtained the relatively fair results.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of various graft materials used with a titanium cap on the ability of new bone formation in the rabbit calvarium. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 sites of artificial bony defects were prepared on the calvaria of sixteen rabbits by using a trephine bur 8 mm in diameter. Each rabbit had two defect sites. 0.2 mm deep grooves were formed on the calvaria of sixteen rabbits by using a trephine bur 8 mm in diameter for the fixation of a titanium cap. The treatments were performed respectively as follows: without any graft for the control group (n=8), autogenous iliac bone graft for experimental group 1 (n=8), alloplastic bone graft ($SynthoGraft^{(R)}$, USA) for experimental group 2 (n=8), and xenogenic bone graft ($NuOss^{(R)}$, USA) for experimental group 3 (n=8). After the treatments, a titanium cap (8 mm in diameter, 4 mm high, and 0.2 mm thick) was fixed into the groove. At the third and sixth postoperative weeks, rabbits in each group were sacrificed for histological analysis. Results: 1. In gross examination, the surgical sites showed no signs of inflammation or wound dehiscence, and semicircular-shaped bone remodeling was shown both in the experimental and control groups. 2. In histological analysis, the control group at the third week showed bone remodeling along the inner surface of the cap and at the contact region of the calvarium without any specific infiltration of inflammation tissue. Also, there was no soft tissue infiltration. Bone remodeling was observed around the grafted bone and along the inner surface of the titanium cap in experimental group 1, 2, and 3. 3. Histologically, all groups at the sixth week showed the increased area of bone remodeling and maturation compared to those at the third week. In experimental group 2, the grafted bone was partially absorbed by multi nucleated giant cells and new bone was formed by osteoblasts. In group 3, however, resorption of the grafted bone was not observed. 4. Autogenous bone at the third and sixth week showed the most powerful ability of new bone formation. The size of newly formed bone was in decreasing order by autogenous, alloplastic, and heterogenous bone graft. There was no statistically significant difference among autogenous, alloplastic, and heterogenous bones(p>0.05). Summary: This result suggests that autogenous bone is the best choice for new bone formation, but when autogenous bone graft is in limited availability, alloplastic and xenogenic bone graft also can be an alternative bone graft material to use with a suitably guided membrane.

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign tumor in adolescents and young adults. The most common location of the tumor is the proximal one-third of the tibia. Chondromyxoid fibroma accounts for less then 1% of all bony neoplasms and foot is affected in about 20% of all cases. The authors have described a case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the first metatarsal which had been recurred 7 months after curettage and iliac bone graft. En bloc resection and reconstruction of the metatarsal with autogenous iliac bone graft were performed. The results were satisfactory and the patient was free of local recurrence at two years follow-up.

An 18-year-old male presented severe hypodontia due to hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was treated with Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy with simultaneous sinus floor augmentation using the mixture of cortical autogenous bone graft harvested from iliac crest and organic Bio-Oss to position the maxilla in a right occlusal plane with respect to the mandible, and to construct adequate bone volume at posterior maxilla allowing proper implant placement. Due to the poor bone quality at other sites, ridge augmentation with onlay graft was done to construct adequate bone volume allowing proper implant placement, using tissue harvested from the iliac bone. Seven implants were placed in the maxilla and 7 implants were inserted in the mandible and screw-retained metal ceramic FPDs were fabricated. The two year follow up data showed that dental implants should be considered as a good treatment modality for patients with ectodermal dysplasia.

Bone grafts are an integral and important aspect of craniofacial reconstruction. Ribs, tibia, and iliac bone have traditionally used as donor site but each of these has various problems, however using to the calvarial bone as a donor site has several advantage. These are as follows ; there are abundance of material, easy to reach the donor site through coronal incision, minimal pain of donor area, less functional inability, shorter hospitalization, no need of immobilization, hidden scar at donor site, no secondary deformity and appropriate curvature obtained properly selected. From march to December 1987, we experienced three cases of autogenous calvarial bone graft such as congenital saddle nose deformity, fibrous dysplasia on the right side frontal bone, and deviated nose. The results were very excellent without any significant complication. The detail technique of autogenous calvarial bone graft and its advantages compared with the traditional methods of bone grafts are discussed.
