A biomaterial derived from natural corals with surgical applications is the calcium carbonate Biocoral. Since 1992 the author has been using this material as a bone graft substitute in maxillofacial surgery. Eighty-nine clinical implantations were done in 68 patients for different indications. The results suggested that coral grafts are well tolerated and are simultaneously partially ossified as the calcified skeleton is resorbed. Clinical cases show that use of this material has been successful.
一种可用于外科手术的源自天然珊瑚的生物材料是碳酸钙生物珊瑚。自1992年以来，作者一直在颌面外科手术中使用这种材料作为骨移植替代物。针对不同适应症，在68名患者中进行了89次临床植入。结果表明，珊瑚移植物耐受性良好，并且随着钙化骨架被吸收，同时会部分骨化。临床病例表明，这种材料的使用是成功的。
