Characteristics and applications of synthetic exogenous materials used in surgery for reconstruction of the orbital cavity

This study aims to provide the main features, indications, and contraindications of synthetic exogenous materials used reconstruct defects in orbital cavity. In addition, present available clinical data on these biomaterials. integrative literature review was carried out PubMed, Periódicos CAPES, Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases May June 2022. At first, search followed following strategy PubMed CAPES Periodicals platforms - (reconstructive surgical procedures AND orbit biomaterials). Then, VHL platform, with combination (orbit There were restrictions for articles published last five years. Titanium most frequently found material this search, 38% total number articles. The also associated Porous Polyethylene, Polyetheretherketone, form Titanium-Nickel alloy. included: Hydroxyapatite; Non-sintered hydroxyapatite particles a composite sheet Poly L'Lactide adhesion fixation; Polyethylene; Polytetrafluoroethylene; Polyetheretheretherketone; Polydioxanone; Polymethylmethacrylate; Polycaprolactone. Orbital reconstruction surgeries can be challenging because anatomical complexity region impact that repairing structure has individual. common alloplastic are titanium mesh porous polyethylene. type injury, particularities each patient, operator's training, material's availability, technological apparatus should considered decision which use. Good results require more innovations technologies, materials, professional training.
