Autogenous Bone Grafts in Maxillofacial Reconstruction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Craniomaxillofacial Reconstructive and Corrective Bone Surgery

Abstract

Bone grafts in maxillofacial surgery are used to replace missing bone. Bone deficit or defects can result from congenital and developmental malformations or originate from tumor surgery, trauma, or infections. There are indications for bone grafts in esthetic surgery as well.
