“…In limited defects of the midface, autogenous reconstruction, combining different grafting techniques might be the first choice. Where the defect extends to the oral cavity or orbit, where an autogenous reconstruction is not possible, osseointegrated implants may offer the most appropriate treatment option (Eckert and Desjardin, 1998; Harris et al , 1996; Schwipper and Tilkorn, 2000). In a number of cases, combined grafting and osseointegrated implants for prosthetics is favorable.…”

In year 2007, 30 years have elapsed since the first patient was supplied with a craniofacial osseointegrated implant. The reason for implanting in this patient was a severe conductive hearing loss, which necessitated the use of a bone conduction hearing aid. By utilizing the possibility to transmit sound to the cochlea via direct bone conduction, a new era in audiology was established. Further applications of osseointegration in the craniofacial field is related to the rehabilitation of patients with defects from cancer therapy, malformations, traumatic amputations and burns. Specific fields of osseointegration in this respect are due to possible side effects from radiotherapy and chemotherapy that will affect osseointegration negatively. Other aspects are related to osseointegration in children. This review will focus on the knowledge gained during the first 30 years of craniofacial osseointegration.

Over the last few decades there have been major advances in the management of patients with maxillofacial injuries in the Western world. Improvements in primary care, prompt recognition and treatment of life-threatening injuries and a multi-disciplinary approach to patients with severe cranio-maxillofacial trauma have all resulted in improved outcomes. Major advancements in diagnostic imaging, earlier surgical intervention, better instrumentation, a change from closed to open reduction and internal xation of facial fractures and improvements in secondary correction of deformities have also resulted in superior aesthetic and functional results. This article reviews some of the recent advances in this eld.
