Wound management after the application of bone grafting substitutes in the orofacial region.
2006
Surgical dressing after the application of bone grafting material depends on the
type and size of the defect. A complete and tension-free wound closure has
proved to be successful. In this context the infection problem needs special
attention. Bone graft substitutes with an adequate surface structure, porosity
and chemical properties, in combination with sufficient blood circulation, hold
osteoconductive potential. They serve as a guide rail for the osteoblast-induced
formation of new bone tissue, which at best may lead to complete replacement
of the grafting material.
