Reliability of biological materials to rhinoplasty / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

Implantation of biological materials are required for rhinoplasty,nasal septum support,filling nasal tip,correction of nasal deformities from trauma,nasal hump deformity correction,and correction of cleft lip nasal secondary deformity. Biological materials for rhinoplasty include silicone rubber,expanded polytetrafluoroethylene,high-density polyethylene,polymethyl methacrylate,hydroxyapatite,and composite materials. However,those materials are limited due to easy onset of complication or high price; therefore,they need to be further modified. In recent years,tissue-engineered bone is expected to provide a more safe and effective implant material for rhinoplasty.
