Abstract

$Medpor^{(R)}$(porous polyethylene) Surgical Implants are used for the augmentation or restoration of bony contour in craniofacial defects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ingrowth of soft tissue and bone after application in calvaria of rats. The experiment was carried out in 60 rats. The reflected periosteum was resutured after implantation of $Medpor^{(R)}$ as a experimental site, while in the calvarial bone the reflected periosteum resutured without implantation as a control site. The histologic examination was performed after 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 12-, 24-weeks implantation in calvaria of rats. I concluded that there was abundant ingrowth of soft tissue and bone without any adverse tissue response and that it shows good stability.
