Bone putty for genioplasty?

[Hoper]

Anyone familiar with bone putty being used for the step off for a genioplasty?

I looked it up and found that it's supposed to help with the bone healing process but I haven't seen much about it being used for the purposes of avoiding a step off appearance in a genioplasty. Also wondering about the healing process and potential complications and risks.

is bone putty another word for bone allografts?

here is a case study on this


Sliding genioplasty using fresh-frozen bone allografts.


Objective: To present our experience in the use of fresh- frozen human bone allograft as an interpositional graft- ing material for sliding genioplasty to correct chin deformities.
Methods: Ten patients underwent sliding genioplasty using morcellized and corticospongious fresh-frozen human bone. Four patients underwent orthognathic surgery associated with genioplasty. Six patient under- went genioplasty associated with rhinoplasty. Panorex, lateral, and frontal cephalogram and computed tomo- graphic scans have been performed for each case pre- operatively and 12 months after surgery. One patient subsequently asked for plate removal, and with his
consent, a bone biopsy specimen was obtained during the operation.
Results: Stable aesthetic and functional results were ob- served in all cases. No infections occurred, and no bone resorption has been clinically or radiologically observed.
Conclusion: The use of fresh-frozen bone allograft re- duces patient morbidity and operative time, providing a stable and excellent aesthetic result.
