Traditionally reliant on autogenous bone grafts, the field has seen a shift towards alloplastic substitutes due to their improved biocompatibility and reduced procedural complexities.
Key themes include the integration of synthetic substitutes with existing materials to enhance surgical outcomes, proactive biomaterial design aimed at accelerating healing and minimizing rejection, and advancements in materials science such as bioinspired surface modifications and nanotechnology.
Despite progress, challenges persist, including long-term biocompatibility, infection control, and optimizing mechanical properties against craniofacial muscle forces. The book emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration across materials science, biology, and clinical medicine to drive innovations that promise safer and more effective craniofacial reconstruction procedures.
This summary encapsulates the key themes, challenges, and advancements discussed, providing potential readers with a clear overview of what to expect from the book.
