Defects in the maxillofacial region may result from many causes, including injury and tumor excision. Such defects must be repaired as completely as possible so that the best possible restoration of function and cosmesis can be achieved.

This article will review literature regarding various types if CPCs, their application to maxillofacial surgery, and the contraindications and complications associated with their use.
