Abstract
This paper chronicles 3 years of a continuing study comparing porous hydroxyapatite to autogenous bone grafts as onlays in maxillofacial surgery. Twenty-five patients, seen from June of 1984 to May of 1985, underwent onlay augmentation on various maxillary and mandibular locations. A total of 68 onlay augmentation sites comparing Interpore porous hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone were followed for 2 years or more. This long-term study compares these substances in radiologic longevity, histologic incorporation, clinical function, and aesthetic appearance.Entities:
