It is a benign lesion composed of spindle shaped fibroblasts arranged in a storiform pattern. Literature shows that there are less than hundred reported cases of BFH worldwide and only six reported cases in the mandible. In this article, we are reporting a rare case of BFH in mandible and novel points of modification in reconstruction with nonvascularised iliac crest graft.

Many at times these defects can be corrected or camouflaged with onlay grafts. The preferred graft materials are either autogenous grafts or alloplastic materials.2 Autogenous bone grafts3 possess the problems of additional donor site surgical morbidity, graft resorption and therefore unpredictable results. Porous high density polyethylene (Bio pore) is a comparatively new alloplastic material with definite edge over many of the graft materials.4,5 Augmentation with pHDPE is a simple, easy to master technique with predictable results. This augmentation procedure can be combined with other orthognathic surgical procedures for a more acceptable aesthetic result. Genioplasty is the simplest among them. This paper reports the management of a 24-year-old male patient, having nonsyndromic facial asymmetry as a result of condylar hypoplasia, using porous high-density polyethylene facial implant and sliding genioplasty.

Single stage manual removal of the maggots along with the necrotic tissue, debridement, and suturing under general anesthesia is the most effective way to treat the condition. Preventive measures are also equally important to eliminate the cause and recurrence.

Previous clinical and biomechanical studies have recommended using two miniplates for fixation of condyle fractures. Two miniplates require a certain size of the proximal condyle fragment and thus are applicable mainly in cases involving low fractures. The present study evaluates the clinical use of indigenously developed titanium delta-shaped miniplate in open reduction and internal fixation of subcondylar fracture.
