Abstract

Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) could be a good alternative for craniomaxillofacial contour restoration, especially in perialar, malar, temporal, and frontal regions. In this study, the histologic behavior of DBM was investigated in different tissue planes to determine its proper application plane for restoration of craniomaxillofacial contour deformities and defects.
