Donor site morbidity after bone harvesting from the anterior iliac crest.

Objectives: Autologous bone grafting is a common, standard procedure in maxillofacial surgery. We investigated complications of harvesting bone from the anterior iliac crest.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis with a 2-year observational period included 75 patients who had undergone iliac bone grafting.

Sinus lift augmentation using autogenous bone grafts and platelet-rich plasma: radiographic results.

Objectives: Autologous bone grafting and sinus floor elevation is a widely accepted method for reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla. The aim of this investigation was to examine the influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone grafting in sinus floor augmentation.

Study Design: A prospective, controlled, randomized study including 34 patients undergoing sinus augmentation before implant placement was designed.

Autologous stem cells (adipose) and fibrin glue used to treat widespread traumatic calvarial defects: case report.

This is a report of a 7-year-old girl suffering from widespread calvarial defects after severe head injury with multifragment calvarial fractures, decompressive craniectomy for refractory intracranial hypertension and replantation of cryopreserved skull fragments. Chronic infection resulted in an unstable skull with marked bony defects. Two years after the initial injury the calvarial defects were repaired.
