[Deep freeze bank bone material for maxillofacial reconstructions].

The use of deep freeze bank bone grafts in maxillofacial surgery is described. The prerequisites for establishing a bone bank and the selection of bone graft material and donors are discussed. The use of deep freeze graft material is possible in virtually any area of maxillofacial surgery. Thus, patients with minor defects can be spared the stress of autogenous bone removal. The potential risk of disease transmission is emphasized.
