“…Aspects such as low toxicity, low carcinogenic potential, satisfactory bioactivity so that organic rejection does not occur and sufficient stability to support the physiological environment and prevent changes from occurring at the recipient site are crucial for achieving success and longevity in the treatment, according to Ramalho, et al, (2017) [4]. Among the advantages of silicone implants, the authors mention a lower risk of sensory loss and the possibility of removal if the result is unsatisfactory.…”

The use of biomaterials may be an option for the treatment mainly of chin deficiencies. One of the most used materials is silicone prostheses. However, some problems with this material were observed, mainly the bone resorption by compression of the musculature, generating intense resorption, as detected in this described clinical case, where fracture of the jaw could occur. Prosthesis removal, chin osteotomy and reconstruction with an allogeneic graft were performed.
