다공성 폴리에틸렌을 이용한 하악골 함몰의 교정: 증례보고

초록

Genioplasy with osteotomy is a flexible and useful procedure. However, osteotomy can cause different types of morbidity. Chin augmentation with porous polyethylene (Medpor^Ⓡ) has become popular in the recent years. Porous polyethylene (Medpor^Ⓡ)is an excellent biomaterial for reconstructing facial deformities. Medpor^Ⓡ has a porous architecture, which prevents capsule formation and decreases the degree of foreign-body reaction. In addition, it can be easily cut with scissors and molded,and it also maintains its shape. We report here on a satisfactory case of chin augmentation with using porous polyethylene (Medpor^Ⓡ).
