Abstract
THE IDEAL implant material for use in plastic and reconstructive surgery remains elusive. Sculpted cartilage autografts and homografts are commonly used despite their inherent disadvantages. These implants are associated with donor site morbidity, graft distortion, resorption, and limited tissue availability. Inorganic alloplastic implants are another option, but extrusion, infection, and poor biocompatibility are major considerations.Keywords
