Despite the apparent advantages provided by implants to the maxillofacial patient, complete documentation of these benefits is lacking in the literature. This review uses existing published material as a basis to discuss the efficacy of implant use in maxillofacial prosthetics and the biologic rationale of the procedures. The use of implants with bone-anchored hearing aids; in maxillofacial surgery; and in maxillary, mandibular, and facial defects is presented. Reliable and valid patient-based evidence of treatment success, as suggested by the NIH Consensus Conference of 1988, is needed.
尽管种植体给颌面患者带来了明显的益处，但文献中缺乏对这些益处的完整记录。本综述以现有的已发表材料为基础，讨论种植体在颌面修复中的应用效果以及该手术的生物学原理。介绍了种植体在骨锚式助听器、颌面外科手术以及上颌、下颌和面部缺损中的应用。正如1988年美国国立卫生研究院共识会议所建议的，需要基于患者的可靠且有效的治疗成功证据。
