The goal of maxillofacial surgery is to restore the shape and functionality of maxillofacial region. In the past years, there has been a tremendous progress in this field because of significant advances in biotechnology that provided innovative biomaterials to efficiently reconstruct the maxillofacial injured region. By using appropriate selection of the implant biomaterial, it is possible to reconstruct the native tissue, both in form and function. The ideal biomaterial should mimic native tissues regarding density, strength, and modulus of elasticity. Autografts are currently the gold standard for replacement of missing tissues, but synthetic biomaterials have been widely used because they eliminate the discomfort to take the replacement tissue from the donor site. Among synthetic biomaterials, different metals may be utilized to efficiently reconstruct the maxillofacial injured region. This article makes an effort to summarize the most important metals in use in maxillofacial surgery, and point out advantages and disadvantage of each type.
颌面外科的目标是恢复颌面部区域的形状和功能。在过去几年中,由于生物技术的重大进展为高效重建颌面部损伤区域提供了创新的生物材料,该领域取得了巨大进步。通过适当选择植入生物材料,可以在形态和功能上重建天然组织。理想的生物材料应在密度、强度和弹性模量方面模仿天然组织。自体移植目前是替代缺失组织的金标准,但合成生物材料已被广泛使用,因为它们消除了从供体部位获取替代组织的不适感。在合成生物材料中,不同的金属可用于高效重建颌面部损伤区域。本文努力总结颌面外科中使用的最重要的金属,并指出每种类型的优缺点。
