The use of Proplast in the restoration of contour defects and for reconstruction of alveolar ridges is described. An evaluation of the results of treatment suggests it is a useful material for the restoration of facial contour, but that there is a significant risk of infection when the intra-oral approach is adopted.
A one-step procedure has been designed to help the patient with abnormal maxillary anterior alveolar atrophy. The technique combines an anterior maxillary osteotomy with a maxillary vestibuloplasty. Bone grafting and skin grafting are not required, and prosthetic rehabilitation can begin 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively. This is a preliminary report; however, 18-month follow-up examinations show continued stability and minimal regression.
